Dutch live sound production company Think! AV has added a Funktion-One Vero vertically arrayable sound system to its audio arsenal.

The Vero system – which delivers point source sound while using the deployment advantages of a vertical array – is a large-format touring sound system that comprises loudspeakers, amplification, rigging and software. Its vertical format is designed for the ergonomic expectations of modern touring.

Think! AV provides sound, lighting and stage equipment, as well as service support, for a range of events and installed venues. The largest Funktion-One rental company in the Netherlands holds an impressive list of customers, including Dekmantel, Mysteryland, Welcome to the Future and Club Shelter Amsterdam.

‘We’ve provided sound for some incredible events here in The Netherlands, and that increasingly involves a Vero system that we’ve been hiring in up until now,’ says Think! AV owner, Remco van der Werff. ‘Event organisers love Vero and audiences do too, so it makes complete sense for us to have our own system and push Think! AV on to the next level at the same time.’

The Vero range features five horn-loaded loudspeakers – the V60 mid-high, V90 mid-high and V315 mid-bass with a choice of V221 or V132 bass. The V60s, V90s and V315s all have identical dimensions enabling them to be flown in the same vertical array. The ground stacked V221 or V132 bass enclosures offer a choice of size and low-frequency extension

‘Every year for the past five or so years, the summer season has been even crazier than the previous one,’ says van der Werff. ‘It’s the perfect time for us to add Vero to the audio solutions we can offer our customers. It will also open up new opportunities. While Vero has all the attributes necessary for quick deployment and easy load out, it can’t be touched when it comes to sound quality.’

‘We’re really happy that there is now a permanent Vero system in the Netherlands,’ says Funktion-One’s Tony Andrews. ‘Remco fully deserves the business success he has worked so hard to achieve. I have no doubt that Vero will continue to impress and that Think! AV will benefit from being the main Vero operator in that area.’
