PK Sound, the robotic line array company, has welcomed live and broadcast audio specialists Backstage PA from Milan, Italy to the PK Global Alliance following the company’s investment in a T8 robotic line source system.

Backstage has wasted little time leveraging PK’s patented multi-axis robotic technology to mechanically optimize the soundfield for a myriad of live and live-to-broadcast events.

“PK Sound’s robotic technology is unlike anything else in our industry and perfectly suited to our work,” comments Pino Di Costanzo, CEO of Backstage PA. “In addition to clear and powerful sound for live events, the T8 system’s ability to precisely and mechanically direct sound means we can capture the cleanest possible audio for our broadcast partners. This technology delivers the best of both worlds and we couldn’t be happier with the acoustic performance – not to mention the ease of deployment and control with PK .dynamics software. A truly incredible tool.”

Backstage PA’s initial investment in PK Sound comprises 32 T8 robotic line source elements, 20 T18 intelligent subwoofers, four Tx26 intelligent point source modules, and an SC1 Signal Cell, which unites signal and network distribution in a modular, globally standardized package. The sale was supported by Adagio Pro Italy, the Italian subsidiary of PK Sound’s Southern European distribution partner, Adagio Pro.

PK Sound’s robotic line source systems offer precise mechanical control of acoustic coverage both remotely and in real-time. This includes an unprecedented 0.1° of precision in the vertical angles between modules and variable horizontal coverage spanning 60-120° in both symmetric and asymmetric configurations.

Headquartered in Mariano Comense on the northern edge of Milan, Backstage PA Srl is a trusted audio system design, installation, and rental firm specializing in recorded and live-to-broadcast applications. The company regularly collaborates with several of Italy’s top private broadcast companies and also deploys systems for events with world-class talent and producers. Their most recent project is a T8 system deployment for the hit singing show Io Canto Family on Italy’s Canale 5 network.

“Backstage PA boasts a talented and highly respected team of professionals and represents the ideal partner for strengthening the PK Sound brand and PK Alliance network throughout Europe,” comments David Rosello, Southern European Partner Support with PK Sound and Adagio Pro. “We look forward to supporting them in executing high-profile projects at the level of excellence the industry has come to expect from both brands.”
