Bolstering
its reputation as an industry innovator, Gand Concert Sound (GCS) of Elk Grove
Village, IL recently took delivery of a large inventory of E-Series and
S-Series loudspeakers from Adamson Systems Engineering.
“After
several years of research, we zeroed in on Adamson’s latest concert sound
packages,” shares Gary Gand, President of the company bearing his name. “The
last decade has seen many refinements in line array technology, and we believe
Adamson manufactures the best available rig, so that’s where we made our
investment.”
GCS has been in business since 1976, proudly at the forefront of
industry innovations for over four decades. The company was an early adopter of
technologies and trends including tri-amping, the use of real-time acoustic
analyses on location, flown rigging, multi-tier delay speakers, and in 1988
became the first Apple Computer dealer in the music industry. The investment in
Adamson is a continuation of the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation.
The package includes a significant complement of Adamson’s E12
three-way, true line source enclosures, S10 two-way, full range sub-compact
line array cabinets, and E119 subwoofers, plus a number of E-Rack unified rack
solutions, featuring Lab.gruppen amplification with Lake processing and Dante
audio networking functionality.
“We were looking for a new rider-friendly system that could work
for all of the applications that GCS is known for, from large outdoor festivals
and sports arenas to high-profile corporate events and mid-sized golden lady
theaters,” offers GCS Vice President Tim Swan, who adds praise for the service
the company has already received from Adamson – including the two-day Applied
Certification training presented by Adamson factory experts Brian Fraser and
Rick Woida in the days following the purchase.
The training took place at GCS’s warehouse near Chicago’s O’Hare
International Airport, and as Swan proudly states, the Adamson systems “gave
the jumbo jets a run for their money.”
