FRANKFURT, Germany -- Santana embarked on the European leg of its Universal Tone tour throughout late September and October with a K1 line source system provided by L-ACOUSTICS Rental Network Agent Satis&Fy. Setting off in Dublin and ending in Hamburg, the 21-date tour did the rounds of Europe's leading arenas, covering hits from Santana's four-decade career.

"The L-ACOUSTICS K1 system has met and exceeded all of my expectations," says Robert Mailman, Santana's front-of-house engineer. "The system's unique features, combined with excellent tour support from the staff at Satis&Fy, have made the Santana 2010 European leg a great success."

The main system consisted of 14 K1 large format line source cabinets and three dV-DOSC as downfill per side, with six K1-SB low frequency extensions flown beside both arrays. The system was driven by LA-RAKs housing L-ACOUSTICS LA8 amplified controllers.

Satis&Fy is also using an L-ACOUSTICS K1/KUDO system for Joe Cocker's current Hard Knocks tour, which continues into December.

L-ACOUSTICS is a leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers, amplifiers and signal processing devices for touring and installed sound markets. Known around the globe for pioneering and championing the modern line array loudspeaker concept with V-DOSC, the company has received numerous accolades for its K1, KUDO, KIVA, ARCS, XT coaxial loudspeaker systems and SB line of subwoofer enclosures, all powered and processed with the LA4 and LA8 amplified controllers in fulfillment of a "total system approach."
