Riyadh-based Saudi event management company Pioneer Events has announced its significant investment in LD Systems MAUI series, supplied by PRO LAB. Established in 2016, Pioneer Events provides AVL solutions for a range of events in the region including ceremonies, conferences and exhibitions, including many notable, large-scale government projects.
The company has invested in 30 MAUI 11 G3 cardioid column PA systems in black, 10 MAUI 44 G2 cardioid powered column loudspeakers and the MAUI 5 GO W column PA system in white. The shipment also includes four MAUI P900 B powered column PA systems in graphite black and two MAUI P900 G powered column PA systems in platinum grey, both by Porsche Design Studio.
Erick Mendes, director of operations and event production at Pioneer Events, noted that a key factor for the investment was the solutions’ aesthetic appeal. With grey, black and white housings, the speakers can seamlessly integrate into various events, without interfering with design elements and colour schemes. Furthermore, the speakers have already been deployed for a range of applications in the region, including various high-profile events arranged by the Saudi government.
“Having already conducted lots of my own research, I experienced the MAUI systems first-hand at the Saudi Light and Sound Exhibition earlier this year and was simply blown away,” explained Mendes. “Pioneer works on a lot of high-end exhibitions where the look of the equipment is incredibly important – sometimes more so than how it sounds. The P900s are a thing of beauty, the perfect solution visually for many of our events, and ideal for when there is no time to hang arrays.”
Jan Tarakji, general manager at PRO LAB, commented: “We had the pleasure of meeting Erick at SLS this year. During our discussion about the extensive range of brands and products available at PRO LAB, we noticed Erick’s keen interest in the LD Systems MAUI series. The MAUI series delivers high power output in a compact, elegantly designed package, making it ideal for small to medium-sized events. Its versatility and performance clearly captured Erick's attention, prompting him to consider investing in this exceptional column series. In response, we promptly offered a comprehensive package, assuring Erick of the product’s superior quality, our professional service and a swift delivery process.”
