Best Ever KF730 Line Array Sales In Europe
EAW is reporting massive sales in Europe of the KF730 premium compact line array system. Year-to-date sales alone have topped the $2 million mark with further significant sales scheduled before the end of the year.
According to European technical sales manager Sean Martin, these figures offer ample testament to the fact that KF730 is the leading system of its class, and that the European EAW line array network is a highly productive organization. "We have customers all over Europe, from as far afield as Rumania (where we've just sold another large system via our distributor Stage Expert), Portugal, Spain, and even Iceland, to name but a few," noted Martin.
"We also have an extremely strong network of well over 40 European distributors who, in conjunction with our own application support specialists, have worked particularly hard holding line array demonstrations across the continent," Martin continued. "This commendable effort has been especially fruitful in Eastern Europe, and also in Spain where the sterling work of our distributor, Pro3, resulted in the sale of 48 pieces into a single installation."
Martin puts this success down to a number of factors: "Customers who already own KF760 systems find a natural affinity with KF730. It's a hugely versatile system – the fact that it is as easy to groundstack as it is to fly is as important to some customers as it's immense power: size and weight ratio, and now that we have the ability to hang KF730 below KF760 with EAW's new flyware, the possibilities are endless. It goes without saying that EAW sound quality is legendary the world over. With KF730 in particular, the unique Phase Aligned low-frequency system reduces the overall size of the cabinet enormously while offering unparalleled bass performance."
Martin also went on to cite future technological developments within the EAW family as being of particular interest to KF730 owners. "Early 2007 will see the debut of the new digital loudspeaker processor which offers Gunness Focusing to both our line array products for even greater system performance. This is an extremely important development as it effectively offers customers a complete system upgrade for both KF730 and KF760 for just the price of the processor, transforming what is already a totally modern, world-class system into a truly next-generation product."
