Novatech Creative Event Technology, a leading audio equipment rental company in Adelaide, Australia, is celebrating two decades of partnership with French audio manufacturer L-Acoustics. This long-standing relationship has seen Novatech acquire over 1,300 L-Acoustics loudspeakers, a testament to the company's commitment to quality and innovation. The latest addition to their collection is the L Series, a groundbreaking line of 'Progressive Ultra-Dense Line Source' (PULS) speakers. The L Series, comprising eight L2 and four L2D units, offers superior performance while being lighter, more compact, and easier to rig than traditional line arrays. Each L2 cabinet houses an impressive 20 drivers, equivalent to four standard line array elements, revolutionizing the industry.
Leko Novakovic, Managing Director of Novatech, highlights the practical benefits of the L2 system. After hands-on experience with the L2 at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Theatre, Novakovic confirmed that L-Acoustics' claim of one L2 cabinet being equivalent to four K2 cabinets was accurate. The L2's ease of rigging, transportation, and deployment, coupled with its superior performance, has solidified Novatech's decision to invest in this technology. With the L2 now in their rental fleet, Novatech can offer versatile solutions for various events, from full arena rigs to smaller festival stages.
The L Series' design simplifies directionality and optimization, eliminating the need for physical angles and rigging pins. Instead, it relies on software-based adjustments, a significant advancement in the industry. Leko emphasizes that this shift is as transformative as the adoption of line arrays two decades ago. Furthermore, Novatech has recently acquired an L-ISA immersive audio processor, becoming the first Australian production company to offer this technology in hire. L-ISA enables L-Acoustics' Hyperreal frontal spatialization, immersive object-based mixing, Ambiance acoustic enhancement, and Source Intelligence, a real-time vocal enhancement technology.
Source Intelligence, a groundbreaking feature, isolates the human voice from background noise, ensuring clear and focused vocals. Leko recalls Novatech's pioneering role in introducing L-ISA to the southern hemisphere with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in 2018. As L-ISA gains global recognition, Novatech is poised to leverage its expertise in this technology, catering to diverse client needs. With a comprehensive range of L-Acoustics products, from the compact X4i to the powerful K1, Novatech ensures they have the right tools for every audio challenge.
Novatech's relationship with L-Acoustics is built on mutual investment and a shared vision for excellence. Leko reflects on the deep connections formed with L-Acoustics staff over the past two decades, emphasizing the company's commitment to innovation and quality. Despite offering a diverse range of audio brands, Novatech's trust in L-Acoustics remains unwavering, as the brand consistently delivers exceptional performance across various applications. This partnership exemplifies the power of collaboration in the audio industry, driving innovation and elevating the standards of event technology.
