Showcall, a leader in audio visual production, is excited to announce the purchase of an extensive new range of sound equipment from d&b audiotechnik, a globally recognized premier provider of audio technology.
The purchase includes d&b's SL, CL, Y, and E series speakers, along with the latest generation of power amplifiers. This new addition to Showcall's inventory will significantly enhance the company's offerings for both large-scale concerts and corporate events, providing the flexibility and quality needed to meet a wide range of client demands.
A Strategic Investment for Diverse Markets
Showcall's decision to invest in d&b's cutting-edge audio systems was made with the goal of expanding its ability to deliver high-quality sound solutions to the large-format entertainment market as well as corporate, government and association sectors. These versatile systems are designed to be scalable, ensuring that Showcall can provide the ideal solution for events of any size—whether it's a major concert in a stadium or an intimate corporate gathering.
"We carefully and intentionally selected this equipment to meet the diverse needs of our clients," said Chris Capaletti, Vice President of Production. "The modularity of d&b's systems allows us to provide optimal sound coverage across a variety of events and meetings.”
Tailored Sound Solutions for Every Event
For large-scale events, Showcall plans to deploy a flown array system consisting of the KSL8 and KSL12 speakers, with subwoofer reinforcement from the KSL subs and full-size SL subs. This configuration is ideal for large venues, where clear, powerful sound is critical for a stand-out audience experience.
For medium-sized events, Showcall will utilize the XSL series speakers, which can be configured either as a flown array or as a ground-stacked system. These will be paired with XSL series subs or larger subwoofer models depending on the event's requirements.
In the corporate market, Showcall is especially excited about the new d&b CCL series. These speakers are lighter and more efficient, making them an excellent choice for distributed sound systems and events where weight and clean sightlines are critical factors. The CCL series is designed to offer optimal performance in a compact form ensuring that the sound is clear and precise without interfering with the visual aspects of the event.
Why d&b? A Legacy of Innovation
d&b audiotechnik has long been a preferred choice among national recording artists and discerning event professionals alike. While d&b has been in the audio business for decades, the latest SL and CL series speakers bring an exciting new level of sophistication to live sound reinforcement. These systems are designed to combat the common issue of "noise pollution," which occurs when sound emanates outside the intended focus area of the audience.
The SL and CL series speakers feature a cardioid projection pattern that significantly reduces sound emitted from the rear and sides, preventing unwanted reflections in the room or stage area. This results in a cleaner, more focused sound for the audience while minimizing interference for musicians and engineers.
These advanced speaker systems, combined with d&b's array processing technology, enable precise sound calibration and management, ensuring a consistent and high-quality audio experience for every attendee regardless of their location in the venue.
Raising the Bar for Audio Excellence
With this new acquisition, Showcall is poised to take its audio capabilities to new heights. The company now has the tools to offer more predictable, scalable solutions for events of all sizes, backed by experienced audio design and engineering teams. This investment in d&b's state-of-the-art audio systems strengthens Showcall's position as a premier provider of audio and video solutions in the industry.
See the New Systems in Action
Showcall will kick off the concert season at the iconic Merriweather Post Pavilion with d&b KSL and XSL series arrays. The company will also be deploying a variety of d&b systems for corporate events across the country, ensuring that clients receive high quality sound for all their events.
With the addition of d&b's audiotechnik's renowned sound systems, Showcall is more equipped than ever to meet the evolving demands of the audio-visual industry, providing clients with scalable, high-performance solutions that elevate every event experience.
