PK Sound has announced Vancouver-based live sound provider Gearforce as the latest member of its PK Alliance following the company’s investment in a T10 robotic line source system.
As a member, Gearforce can augment its T10 system with exclusive access to large-format Trinity Black robotic array elements from the alliance’s global dry-hire inventory. ACT Entertainment is the exclusive distributor of PK Sound in North America.
“Gearforce takes pride in deploying industry-leading technologies with the highest level of service for any project we take on,” says founder and president Rob Nevalainen. “PK Sound’s multi-axis robotic coverage control is an industry first and our team recognized the advantages it could bring to some of our work. We’re also able to take on larger events with Trinity Black through the PK Alliance and consider it one of the best-sounding solutions on the market.”
Gearforce’s PK Sound inventory includes 16 T10 robotic line source elements and eight T218 intelligent subwoofers, driven by a PK Cell modular touring rack. Deployments to date include multiple stages at the Monstercat Compound, Shambhala Music Festival, and Bass Coast Electronic Music and Art Festival.
Founded in 2000, recent Gearforce clients include Bryan Adams, Diana Krall, and Jann Arden in addition to venues like Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre. Several Gearforce representatives are Avid Certified Instructors, and the company has the largest inventory of Avid digital mixing consoles in Canada.
“Gearforce is one of the most esteemed companies in our industry with an unmatched technical prowess, and the opportunity to collaborate with their skilled team has already been rewarding on both sides,” adds Ralph Mastrangelo, director of sales, live sound with ACT Entertainment. “We’re looking forward to future deployments with Gearforce and elevating the profile of the PK Alliance and our growing Member network.”
