Bogotá sound and light rental house People Light has upgraded its inventory with a landmark investment in Martin Audio’s large-format WPL – the first system of its kind in the country.
Established in 2007, People Light has grown into one of Colombia’s largest production companies. When the time came recently to overhaul its audio inventory, the goal was to meet the requirements of riders of the world’s most demanding international festivals and tours. This led the People Light team to the Martin Audio portfolio, and to Martin’s Latin American distributor Avcom, supported in the region by Proactive LATAM. Following a series of field tests and demonstrations, the company invested in a full-scale Wavefront Precision large-format array.
As the flagship of the Wavefront Precision Series, WPL is a three-way, bi-amped system featuring dual 12-inch LF drivers. It is designed to deliver stadium-level output with extraordinary pattern control, further enhanced by Martin Audio’s scalable resolution optimisation.
The comprehensive system now in People Light’s inventory comprises 24 WPL line array elements, complemented by 12 SXH218 dual 18-inch high-power subwoofers, all driven by iKon iK42 multichannel amplifiers.
Since the system’s debut, the company reports that feedback from both internal technical teams and external promoters has been exceptional. Alongside the signature sonic quality, particular praise has been reserved for the streamlined workflows – specifically the ease of system configuration, tuning, and rigging, which has significantly simplified on-the-ground operations.
‘With People Light’s acquisition, major events and festivals in Colombia will now have access to a system designed to deliver power, uniform coverage, and absolute control in large-scale productions,’ says Camilo Aranguren, CEO of Avcom.
People Light has already deployed the WPL rig for leading artists including Yeisson Jiménez, Luis Alfonso and Hebert Vargas. The system is also set to make its debut at Bogotá’s famous El Campín stadium, the city’s largest and most renowned venue, later this month.
‘This is an important step in our history, positioning us as one of the few companies in the region with this level of large-format technology,’says People Light CEO, Alejandro Puentes. ‘This is a world-class system, proven at the most demanding international festivals and tours.’
