Tube UK invests in D&B KSL

Manchester-based audio specialists Tube UK take delivery of a new D&B Audiotechnik KSL line array speaker system plus assorted rigging elements in a significant investment. This initial order comprises twenty KSL8 and four KSL12 top cabinets plus eight KSL-Subs, a new system which is added to Tube’s existing stocks of D&B Y- and V-Series together with the associated D80 amplifiers that the company already owns.

Tube works extensively in the music, performance, arts, and corporate/industrial event sectors, also specialising in managing audio for quirky, complex, and challenging projects. Since the post-pandemic restart, shows have been steadily growing, getting more sonically ambitious and being staged in larger venues. “It was absolutely the right time for us to step up and invest in a system for medium to large rooms and spaces”, says Tube’s Melvyn Coote (pictured). The products were delivered through Solotech, D&B’s UK sales partner.

Tube already has rental orders being placed for the KSL system by their clients, including Factory International for a 5,000-capacity warehouse space - measuring 85 by 35 metres with 21 metres of height clearance - within their new venue, Aviva Studios. Working with Manchester International Festival (a city-wide event delivered by Factory International every two years) for over twenty years, Tube had Aviva Studios in mind when selecting KSL as a product to support this ongoing collaboration.

Tube has been investing in D&B since the company was started in 2001 and has kept moving with the technology. Initially the E-Series was purchased for conferences and corporates, next came the Q-Series, which was their first line array system, then the Y-Series which expanded upwards to the V-Series. Melvyn Coote, together with other Tube engineers, attended D&B’s KSL training session.
