Festivals live next to neighbourhoods, businesses, waterfronts, and parks. PK’s robotic line arrays steer acoustic energy onto the crowd and away from sensitive areas — mechanically, in real time — with up to 20 dB less noise beyond the site. These are the shows where it’s been proven.
Horizontal coverage varies from 120° wide to 60° narrow — the narrowest of any major manufacturer — in symmetric and asymmetric steps, per module. Vertical splay articulates in 0.1° increments. The soundfield is drawn to the site map, not the other way around.
Cardioid columns of T218 intelligent subwoofers keep bass on the dance floor and off the fence line, while system pattern control holds down to 250 Hz — where ordinary systems have already given the neighbourhood away.
Wind shifts, crowds grow, perimeter readings creep. Robotic coverage is re-aimed from PK .dynamics or the MOVE app while the arrays are in the air — no ladders, no blanket level cuts, no compromise to the experience.
The Netherlands’ open-air metal festival plays within earshot of residential Maastricht — noise compliance is one of the production’s defining challenges. Clarity.live and Demo Productions answered with Trinity Black mains and T10 robotic fills, focusing coverage entirely on the audience.
Megadeth, Sepultura, and Anthrax at full impact — and significantly fewer resident complaints with zero exceedances of permitted noise levels.
After more than 100 noise complaints in its first year, city council handed this bass festival strict limits — measured from the surrounding neighbourhoods. 18 Trinity Black mains and 10 delays per side aimed the show onto 30,000 fans a day, with coverage precisely configured to avoid unwanted spill.
Three days of Illenium, Excision, and Borgore ended with six complaints — down 95% year-over-year.
For Passeig de Gràcia’s 200th anniversary, a full orchestra played to nearly 10,000 people along 300 metres of one of Barcelona’s busiest avenues — businesses and residences lining both sides of the street.
The Trinity Black system was set to 60° horizontal — the narrowest of any major manufacturer — focusing every delicate nuance on the crowd and away from the buildings.
Dierks Bentley’s Colorado festival plays a valley where the air itself is thinner — diminished pressure that punishes ordinary drivers. 12 Trinity Black over 12 G218 per side carried the main stage, with T10s covering the second and Beach stages.
Working livestock farms sat under 800 feet from the fence line; robotic pattern control kept 12,000 fans covered and the neighbours – and their livestock – unbothered.
The Calgary Philharmonic plays Prince’s Island for more than 10,000 guests — full orchestral dynamics outdoors, beside river pathways and downtown residents. UVS paired T8 robotic modules with T18 subwoofers and Tx Series fills, tailoring coverage precisely to the audience area.
Can’t say it better than the orchestra itself: “[The system] sounded excellent! Thanks PK!”
“We were able to steer sound away from residential areas and focus the energy on the audience. The results were impressive: significantly fewer complaints from residents and no exceedances of the permitted noise levels.”
