Finland’s first installation of JBL Professional’s new CBT100LA column enclosures has taken place in the Latokartano Sports Hall in Helsinki. Eight of the compact passive line array cabinets were specified as part of a complete sound reinforcement fit-out by systems contractor Pertti Krautsuk of Workland.

After just one session at the studio, the band was sold and consistently returned to the studio each time it was in town. In fact, when Odds On Records & Studios announced the launch of its independent recording label, Ultraviolet Sound was one of the first groups to sign on.
“Odds On has a ton of amazing gear,” says Sami D (keyboards and synths for UVS). “The studio has everything from vintage mics and mic pre’s to outboard gear. In my opinion, that’s their number one benefit ― that it has any piece of gear you would want to more

They’ve already created quite a sensation among our clients.”
