For the past 20 years, Verona, Wisconsin-based Intellasound Productions has been
providing comprehensive live event production services for countless artists and
corporate clients throughout the Midwest and beyond. Following an expansion
project that grew its shop by 50 percent last year, the company has also now grown
its audio equipment inventory and stepped up its production levels with a new
loudspeaker package from L-Acoustics.

Intellasound’s initial investment as a new L-Acoustics rental network member
comprises 24 K2 and 12 Kara enclosures, 18 KS28 subs, five LA-RAK II racks loaded
with a collective total of 16 LA12X AVB-ready amplified controllers, and an
assortment of rigging hardware to allow the systems to be flown and stacked in a
variety of setups. Kerry Miller at Clearwing Productions in Milwaukee facilitated the
sale of the package.

For Intellasound’s co-founders—President David Maier and Vice President Tim
Woodworth—the SR company’s new association as part of the French loudspeaker
manufacturer’s rental network has been a long time in the making. “I remember the
first time that I heard V-DOSC when it was out with Tom Petty in probably 2001,’
Woodworth recalls. “It was such a smooth, crisp, clean and natural sound that was
very unique for the time. So when we were looking to make a sizable investment
for our own rental inventory last year, we obviously wanted to find a system that
would give us a good ROI for as long as possible. L-Acoustics’ proven history, with
V-DOSC still being on riders after more than 20 years, assured us that L-Acoustics
would be the right fit for us.’

Providing live event production services for everything from musical acts at
festivals and theatres to corporate and political events, the Intellasound team notes
that all clients seem to agree on one thing: L-Acoustics. “In our world, we need to
keep up with rider demands, and L-Acoustics products are always on the top of
those lists,’ he continues. “What the K2 system offers us is the opportunity to make
the next step up in live production. It is widely acceptable to all riders, very natural
sounding, has adjustable horizontal directivity, a lot of output and a very low
weight. K2 has only been out for a few years, and with the addition of the new KS28
subs and LA12X amps, we knew that this was the right time to jump on board.’

One of the most recent productions to benefit from Intellasound’s new L-Acoustics
system was an April tour stop by Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Chris Botti
at the University of Dubuque’s Heritage Center, where the musician was joined by
the Columbus Symphony.

Intellasound’s new Kara enclosures have been equally well received, he reports.
“We have had the Karas on multiple events and every engineer that has walked in
has been excited to see them; they are small in size but still have that signature L-
Acoustics sound that a lot of engineers are expecting.’
