ADLIB Sales Supplies L-Acoustics Kara system to Nitelites

Liverpool, UK-based ADLIB's specialist sales division -- also a certified provider for L-Acoustics -- has sold a Kara PA system, fully flight-cased and complete with LA8 amplifiers, to Newcastle-based sound, lighting, and AV rental company Nitelites.

The sale comprised 24 Kara loudspeakers, eight SB18 subs, eight SB28 subs, the eight LA8 amplifiers, and a full set of Adlib-designed flight cases for the Kara, bumps (flying cradles) and amp racks, plus all the associated rigging and accessories to enable the system to be flown or ground stacked as required.

Using its touring experience, Adlib's flightcases are designed to house three Kara speakers each -- so eight cases in total, and two bumps per case, making a neat and expedient truck pack.

The Kara deal was coordinated by Nick Turner for Adlib sales and Jamie Moore and Andy Magee, both directors of Nitelites.

Nitelites required a flexible PA solution ideal for a diversity of applications, live events and different environments -- from corporates to rock 'n' roll, theatre productions, and classical spectaculars. The company's regular work includes supplying sound to numerous concert hall venue gigs of around 2,500 capacity.

The new Nitelites Kara system went straight out on its first gig two days after it was delivered, and its first full-on tour is the UK leg of chart-topping Australian children's band phenomenon, The Wiggles.

Moore explains, "We have enjoyed collaborating with Adlib for some time and as they became one of the largest L-Acoustics rental houses in the UK, it made sense for us to buy into the brand".

Moore & Magee underwent a basic training and instruction on the system from Adlib's George Puttock due to the time frame between delivery and the first show being so tight, and have since also undergone the full L-Acoustics induction in France.

They already also have several other shows and events confirmed for the summer where their new system will be used and supplemented with additional L-Acoustics gear from Adlib, including the Mouth of the Tyne Festival in Newcastle and a classical spectacular for 20,000 people, set in picturesque Glamis Castle in Perthshire, Scotland.
