Starring Georgia, a leading event technology provider in the region, has become the first company in the Caucasus to acquire and deploy the L-Acoustics K1 system — the flagship line array used on top-tier global tours. The system’s inaugural deployment took place at the Guns N’ Roses concert on May 30 near Shekvetili, Georgia, supported by Live Nation, with more than 17,000 attendees in a large-scale open-air setup.

Bringing L-Acoustics K1 to the Caucasus marks a major step forward in aligning the region’s live production capabilities with international touring standards. The investment reflects Starring Georgia’s long-term vision to develop world-class infrastructure for concerts and large-scale events across the region.
The sound system was designed by Andrey Akhromeyev, a certified L-Acoustics KSE engineer and official trainer at Sound Creations, with over 15 years of experience working with L-Acoustics systems.

Main PA configuration based on L-Acoustics:


The system was powered by LA-RAK II AVB racks with LA12X amplifiers. Control and audio distribution were managed via an L-Acoustics P1 processor at FOH, with a fully redundant AVB network using LS10 switches — ensuring reliable performance in high humidity and varying weather conditions.

The opening act, Rival Sons, performed using a DiGiCo Quantum 338 console connected to an SD-Rack with 32-bit mic preamps.

Despite variable conditions, including rain during the performance, the system delivered stable, high-fidelity audio throughout the venue. Lead system designer Andrey Akhromeyev noted: “We experienced the full range of weather — sun, humidity, and rain — and the K1 system performed flawlessly. The result was even coverage and exceptional clarity for every member of the audience.”

Starring Georgia’s acquisition of the L-Acoustics K1 system is a strategic investment in the growth of the regional live event industry. The system is already scheduled for use at the upcoming Justin Timberlake concert in Tbilisi’s Dinamo Stadium in July 2025. “The Caucasus is now fully equipped to welcome international touring artists. The audience is ready, and now the infrastructure is, too,” the Starring Georgia team stated.
