Martin Audio WPS provides weight for The K’s album launch at Warrington’s Parr Hall

After playing a stretch of intimate in-store shows at independent record shops across the nation to announce their debut album “I Wonder If The World Knows”, The K’s arrived at one of their local concert venues, the 1000-cap, Grade II-listed Parr Hall in Warrington on April 10, 2024.

Martin Audio rental partner DBS Solutions were brought in to provide their flagship WPS (Wavefront Precision) scalable line array. This was set in a ground-stacked configuration, as due to weight limitation flying the PA wasn’t an option. The WPS was mounted, six-a-side, on a single SXCF118 cardioid sub, while a further six WS218X subs were arranged in a broadside array in the pit. Providing front fill coverage were four Martin Audio WPM, in 2-box stacks.

In the balcony of the building Martin Audio XD15s were deployed as fills in biamp mode, tied into the venue’s Torus T1230 constant curvature short throw speakers. DBS Solutions deployed a pair of iKon amp racks, each housing three iK42. They were able to power the main PA in the optimum 1-box resolution.

Systems engineer Daniel Clare designed the rig in such a way as to provide coverage to both the primary standing area and the initial parts of the balcony, where the house Torus system in this Victorian venue took over to provide even coverage into the furthest recesses of the upper balcony. The band’s FOH engineer was Ben Hubbard.
