Elite Event Technology, an Australian production and rental company, headquartered in Canberra with operations in Sydney and the Illawarra, has made a major investment with the acquisition of a new tour audio system from HARMAN Professional.
The new system features 96 JBL Professional VTX A-Series line array speakers, including the A12, A8, and A6 models, paired with 50 VTX B-Series 18in subwoofers, all driven by Crown amplifiers.
Elite Event Technology acquired the system through MadisonAV, HARMAN Professional’s authorised distributor for Australia. In recent years, Elite Event Technology has been a strong supporter of HARMAN Professional products, with a long-term investment in Soundcraft digital consoles.
Darren Russell, owner and managing director of Elite Event Technology, said: “From the beginning of my career, I honed my skills mixing with JBL and Soundcraft gear…it was the standard, the go-to setup for professionals. Today, we’re seeing JBL VTX appear more frequently on tech riders, which signals a clear shift in industry preference. We’re thrilled to bring the JBL VTX A-Series to our clients. This investment reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional audio experiences at Australia’s most iconic events.”
Amar Subash, VP and managing director for HARMAN Professional APAC, added: “We’re proud to have Elite Event Technology place their trust in JBL Professional and Crown. We are confident that their investment will position them at the forefront of providing professional sound in the region, reinforcing their reputation for excellence and reliability in the live events industry.”
