WORPSWEDE, Germany — Joerg Mohr and Ray Hassfeld, sound system managers at the Worpswede Music Hall, recently decided to upgrade the Kling & Freitag house system with Powersoft amplifiers. They chose K3 And M50Q DSP+ETH amplifiers for their sound quality and DSP functionality, as well as remote control and monitoring capabilities. The Music Hall dates back to 1870. Since then, it has changed hands a number of times while retaining its primary use as a performance venue. Known simply as the Music Hall since 1993, it has hosted John Mayall, Al di Meola and Robert Cray, among countless others. “When deciding on amplifiers, we were looking for two things — great sounding amps and something that was going to be technically future-proof,” said Mohr. “We needed something with internal DSP as well as remote control and monitoring capabilities.” Mohr credits Powersoft amps with the amount of output that can be achieved with a single rack unit. “We were simply amazed,” he said, not only with K3 for the main PA, but also the 4-channel M50Qs that drive the floor monitors. “Eight monitor channels at a maximum power of 1,250 watts in only two rack units — how cool is that?”
