SLS Productions has have upped their game by welcoming what they claim to be the largest line-array system in the Middle East.

Audiotechnews imagines theJBL VerTec 4889 system was added to their inventory due to coming under fire for being heavily under-powered when it comes to major touring acts, as reported by Proaudiomiddleeast

Santana will act as the guinea pig for the system, presumably by way of apology for that facial hair.

Arabian Business reports:

We were considering investing in the 4889 cabinets, which are the largest in the VerTec range,” said Martin Luiz, MD of SLS.

“When we were offered the job of providing the equipment for a huge event in Ethiopia, the decision was made for us.”

The concert, which is still to be confirmed, is expected to be staged in Addis Ababa’s main stadium, which has a capacity of 300,000. Luiz said SLS will consider flying the new system to other regional locations if the right opportunity presented itself.

Luiz said the company was currently scouting for larger warehouse premises, adding he was hopeful of securing a location early in the New Year.

I’ll let you know when they find a location. Anyone wanting a shed load of cheap taupaulin, you know who to ask…
