Nitelites has become a certified L-Acoustics K1 partner, having recently taken delivery of a full K1 large-format WST Line Source.
Founded in 1983, the Newcastle-based company plans, designs and delivers events both in the UK and around Europe. Nitelites’ dedication to service and the equipment has ensured its steady expansion. Its investment in K1 underlines this commitment.
‘Everyone at Nitelites has a passion for the technical side of audio,’ says the company’s Andy Magee. ‘This means that we want the best equipment we can get, and for a large-scale line array, that means K1.’
Nitelites’ K1 system comprises 48 K1, 24 K1-SB and 24 x KS28, and complements its existing stock of K2, Kara, SB28 and ARCS II cabinets and LA12X amplified controllers with LA-Rak II.
‘Nitelites team has shown its expertise and success, deploying L-Acoustics K2 systems for prestigious events,’ Jochen Frohn, Director for Business Development at L-Acoustics says. ‘As its expertise and client base has grown, it has received requests for a stadium-sized PA. Nitelites has consistently impressed us with technical proficiency and commercial strategy, and we are happy to have Nitelites as part of our K1 network of partners.’
‘We’re very well known for our concert touring business,’ Magee adds. ‘But we also work on sporting events such as the Great North Run, where, overnight, we fly a mile of line array into the centre of Newcastle. Likewise, we provide sound to big art installations and an increasing number of bespoke touring solutions, such as a 6.1 system for 10,000 people we supplied for the Lumier Festival in Durham. Increasing our offering of L-Acoustics with K1 means we are able to expand all areas our business further and we look forward to working with the K1 network in the UK.’
‘The K1 network in the United Kingdom is already top flight,’ comments L-Acoustics Regional Sales Manager, Paul McMullan. ‘The fact that Nitelites is creating business opportunities in unique new areas warrants the addition of a new partner to the K1 roster.’
Nitelites’ K1 has already seen action at We Are FSTVL, where the company has upped the number of stages it is supplying from three to eight for this year’s May Bank Holiday weekend in Upminster, London.
