Kooijmans Audio expands Linex inventoryNetherlands, May 2008
Dutch based hire company Kooijmans Audio, one of the pioneers in using Sound Projects‘ Linex line array systems, currently reports the extension of their Linex inventory to a large scale rig of 32 pieces enabling their rental division to take up even larger events or splitting up the total stock for use at several venues simultaneous.
Adrie Kooijmans (MD) says “Although in the beginning we had our doubts about the necessity of line-array systems in our rental division, because we already did many medium sized venues with our SP4 rigs, we now come to believe that with Linex we can go even a step further. Ever since we‘ve seen an incredible increase in turnover of our medium to large-scale audio rental activities over the past two years. With a second rig of Linex we‘re now able to do both large scale projects and multiple small to medium venues at once.”
With the summer-festival season at the front door, and their rental schedule filling in fast past, the need for the expansion was unavoidable. The rapidly growing rental division of Kooijmans Audio already used Linex for 4 years now and swiftly adapted to the line array standard at the early beginnings. Due to the systems versatility and capacity to fulfil large-scale performances the company was able to use Linex in a large range of projects.
Bea van Opijnen, one of the female roadies at Kooijmans Audio, expresses her enthusiasm: “In most situations Linex turns out to be a system that can be flown without the use of muscle power at all! With the integrated rigging already positioned at the right angle of each adjacent cabinet Linex simply is lifted out of its flightcase per rig of three cabinets. The subsequent rig is attached at the back of the cabinet and with the tip of a finger one can connect the front-end after it is being lifted in position.”
The new stock comprises 32 Linex systems, twelve SP2-10s, 20 SP2-FMs, 14 SP4-Diamonds, 18 SP4-15s, 10 SP2s any many more X-acts and SP3s. Kooijmans Audio is also responsible for many installations of Sound Projects in the Dordrecht area.
