The PLM devices, which are used to power their L’Acoustics V-DOSC rig, were supplied by Lab.gruppen’s exclusive Moscow-based Russian distributor, I.S.P.A.
 
Live Sound Agency’s Yuriy Sokolov, said of the new purchase: “The combination of one of the world’s greatest system processors, Dolby Lake, with the amplifier technology from Lab.gruppen in one single device is a stroke of genius.”

“There is no discomfort for the user in that everything is already familiar to him and there is a good preset library to work from initially. After that, it’s easy to customise if necessary. The result is that you are efficient straight away because your time is spent tuning the system, and not having to learn new software.”
 
According to Yuriy, the PLM has significantly changed the company's approach to sound design.

“We have had to completely reconstruct our PA system,” he says. “We had to familiarise ourselves with digital technology and rebuild our amp racks as well. In fact, we’ve built two types of rack: one comprising three PLM 10000Qs for bigger systems, and one with just a single unit for working with acoustic surround systems. PLM is totally changing the working approach of sound engineers who are no longer limited by the quantity of processors available. He can access the parameters of any part of his system at any time to make changes on the fly.”
 
PLM is now the main amplifier for Live Sound Agency, and their L’Acoustics V-DOSC PA system is built on it.

So far this autumn, Live Sound Agency has provided the PA for Deep Purple, Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Santana and Rod Stewart. A recent Deep Purple concert for 20,000 people at the Olympic Stadium (Olimpisky) in Moscow saw Live Sound Agency provide a total of 64 V-DOSC cabinets and 32 SB 28 subs, all powered by 32 Lab.gruppen PLM 10000Q systems.

The Offspring, Scorpions and Prodigy will be the next acts to benefit from Live Sound Agency’s supercharged PLM-powered PA system.
