Alcons Audio announced that Gdańsk-based Grupa Profit, founded almost 30 years ago as a full-service stage technology provider, recently became the second largest owner and user in Poland of its loudspeakers and supporting components.
Grupa Profit works with many clients that specialize in classical music events, such as the annual Mozartiana international Mozart festival in Gdańsk every August, in addition to supporting jazz performances and more.
“But as well as systems and services for live music, we also specialise in zoned audio systems for events like battle re-enactments,” says Grupa Profit founder Sławomir Ingielewicz. “For example, we have been providing sound systems for the recreation of the Battle of Grunwald and other similar event for over 25 years. So our audio systems need to be very versatile.”
Alcons Polish distributor Aplauz Sp z o.o. provided an LR18 compact line arrays to Grupa Profit for the 2022 Mozartiana festival, along with technical support. Comprising 18 LR18/90 modules (nine per side), 12 BQ211 compact subwoofers and Sentinel10 amplified loudspeaker controllers, the system worked so well that Grupa Profit decided to purchase it.
“The festival featured leading Polish classical artists, including pianist Leszek Możdżer, conductor Agnieszka Duczmal and the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra. We were pleasantly surprised by the very positive reactions to the sound,” explains Ingielewicz. “The festival audiences are music lovers who are not necessarily aware that the sound is amplified, so their response highlighted the sound quality of the pro-ribbon system.”
Recently, Grupa Profit further increased its Alcons inventory with the addition of four LR18/120. These allow the team to add two per side to systems where wider coverage of the first rows of audiences is needed.
