As one of North America’s leading production companies, Camarillo, California-based Delicate Productions provides audio, lighting, and multimedia services for some of the world’s most recognizable clients. With an ever-expanding roster that includes names like The Killers, Silver Sun Pickups and Foo Fighters, there’s little doubt that Delicate’s unwavering focus on customer satisfaction is paying off.
A passionate group of audio/video “gear heads”, the Delicate team’s knowledge and sheer know-how is matched by their zeal for new technology and a commitment to keeping up with the industry’s latest offerings. So when it came time to update their range of compact, portable systems, the team was anxious to hear what VUE Audiotechnik had to offer.
“I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about this new loudspeaker company that was a joint venture between the founders of EAW and Apogee Sound,” explained Delicate’s President, Jason Alt. “After a quick phone discussion, VUE invited us to a demo they were conducting near our headquarters here in Camarillo. We were immediately impressed with the build quality, as well as the forward, warm voicing that was exceptionally consistent throughout the range.”
Alt and team quickly recognized that the VUE speakers would be ideal for a series of private, VIP events taking place throughout October as part of L.A.’s Fashion Week. There was only one problem…the speaker had to be white.
“As a new company, I wasn’t sure they’d be willing to take on a custom job so soon,” explained Alt. “Not only did they agree without hesitating, but I had the speakers in my warehouse within two weeks!”
Delicate added a total of 12 VUE Audiotechik boxes to their lineup. Included were eight, a-8 full range models, along with four as-115 subwoofers. All 12 cabinets were custom painted in satin white, as requested.
Since taking delivery in late September, Delicate has successfully deployed the VUE systems in a variety of environments, at more than a dozen events. Discerning customers have ranged from Chanel (Chanel Cruse—produced by Bounce Event Marketing) to the Hammer Museum (a Mitie Tucker Event Production), to name just a few.
“The VUE speakers simply sounded fantastic,” remarked engineer Noel Edwards, who was among the first to use the new speakers for the Hammer Museum Gala. “They provided exactly the presence I needed, and best of all, they required almost no EQ. They just sounded so nice and warm right out of the box.”
