PK Sound Robotic Technology Powers Mastermind Production Group Expansion

PK Sound, the robotic line array company, has welcomed Southern California’s Mastermind Production Group to its growing partner network following the company’s investment in a T8 robotic line source system. Specializing in high-end corporate applications where speech intelligibility and consistent audience coverage are critical, Mastermind will leverage the acoustic and operational advantages of PK Sound’s patented Multi-Axis Robotics to deliver precisely controlled sound across a diverse range of venues and event environments.

“We first heard PK deployed at a major festival and were really impressed, so we already knew the clarity, impact, and overall sonic performance were there,” comment Kate and Chad Griswold, Owners of Mastermind Production Group. “What really completed the picture was visiting PK’s headquarters in Calgary and experiencing the operational advantages first-hand. We work on high-profile applications where every detail contributes to the client experience. The ability to deploy the system much faster and give our team more time to focus on delivering the best possible result made this a very easy decision.”

Mastermind’s new system comprises 40 T8 compact robotic line source elements, 12 T18 intelligent subwoofers, and eight multipurpose Tx26 intelligent point source modules. The system is driven by a PK Cell and controlled through PK .dynamics software and the new MOVE mobile application. MOVE gives PK partners wireless, real-time control of their systems from anywhere in a venue or site on a mobile device, enabling users to configure robotic coverage, monitor system performance, and make precise adjustments while listening from different positions throughout the audience area.

Based in Fullerton, California, Mastermind Production Group is a full-service technical production company providing audio, lighting, video, staging, and related services for events throughout Southern California and beyond. Its capabilities span event consultation and site surveys, production and event design, logistics coordination, production management, equipment setup and operation, and transportation. In addition to live event production and equipment rentals, Mastermind provides system sales, consultation, design, installation, maintenance, livestreaming, and content-capture services.

“As a forward-thinking, next-generation enterprise, Mastermind fits our ideal customer profile to a tee and the synergy with our team was apparent from the start,” adds Darryl Ross, U.S. Partner & Applications Support with PK Sound. “They’re technically accomplished, deeply focused on their clients, and constantly looking for smarter ways to elevate both the efficiency of their operations and, most importantly, the end results. We’re very excited to welcome Chad, Kate, and their team to our growing partner network on the West Coast. This is an organization that understands the value of innovation and long-term collaboration, and we look forward to supporting Mastermind as we build on our shared success.”
