The Audio Visual Co expands with L-Acoustics

The Audio Visual Co’s founder and director Jimmy Bandal built his company’s stock on a backbone of L-Acoustics loudspeakers when it was first established three years ago. The Moorebank-based rental company has now added to its inventory with the purchase of an A Series system.

‘Our main applications are corporate events such as galas, awards nights and product launches, as well as broadcast and concert touring,’ explained Bandal. ‘Although we only started a couple of years ago, the company is growing rapidly. At the outset, L-Acoustics captured my attention as I found the sound signature of the cabinets very pleasing, their response is linear, and they are extremely user-friendly. As well as the company’s first-class loudspeakers, I’ve found that both L-Acoustics Soundvision 3D acoustical modelling software and LA Network Manager are very helpful in allowing me to accurately and simply predict my venue designs.’

The company’s initial L-Acoustics purchase comprised a minimal amount of X12 and SB18 subs, along with an LA4X amplified controller. A substantial increase in business led to the latest acquisition of A10, A15 and KS21, as well as Kiva II medium throw line array, and Syva colinear source speakers from distributor Jands.

‘The A15 and the A10 was what I needed to invest in to fill in the gaps; the versatility and power just works for the type of events I take on,’ added Bandal. ‘Gerry Gavros from Jands and I met several times to go over my requirements and determine what would suit us best before I made a final decision. The beauty of the A-series is its scalability, and that means the system can grow along with the company.’
