Re: PK Sound
I've been following this thread for a bit and I wanted to chime in.
This past weekend we were so graciously invited by the folks at PK Sound to demo their rig that is currently out on the Excision tour. (Special thanks to Rory! This was on the Washington D.C. stop)
I'll comment (unbiased, I promise) on the rig in a second, but first and foremost I want to say that the people at PK Sound are first class. Welcoming, fun, helpful, HONEST, not pretentious, and even grateful that we were interested in what they have going on. I felt like they are the type of company that is going places in this industry and even though they are a young company, I wouldn't have any problem buying into the company what-so-ever. These feelings were solidified in the entire process of dealing with PK from our initial e-mails, to going to the stop on the tour to check out the rig, until even after the show keeping in contact with their people. I can't say enough positive things about the experience we had.
Now, the cabinets... I will say that the top boxes (we heard both the full-size and small format array's) left some to be desired. I felt, as others have commented, there was a lack of mid-range capability. It's also clear that the folks at PK are aware that there are some improvements to be made and I believe they genuinely want to make those changes. I also firmly believe they will. I was very impressed with the subs. They hit hard, they went low. We ran sweeps through them and it was impressive. It's no secret they were designed with pre-recorded content in mind (specifically EDM) but we played a variety of tracks from many different genres and I think the subs handled it well. They let us hear in groups of four, up to the full compliment of 20 cabs, and I was impressed at both groupings. Truthfully, PK is a company to watch.
