Liverpool-based production services company Adlib Audio has made a major commitment to German amplifier brand Camco, taking delivery of more than 60 new Vortex 6 digital amplifiers for use with its JBL VerTec system. The equipment is being supplied by Camco's UK distributor Fuzion plc, and is being seen by Adlib Audio as "an initial purchase, and part of a major long-term investment".

 "We really feel that the Vortex 6 is the best amplifier on the market for the VerTec," said Adlib's Dave Kay, who has spent a considerable amount of time evaluating leading brands. "The Camco shone above every other model that we tested."
Adlib is sidelining its existing stock of Crown VZ-5002s, principally because of size considerations. "We needed to save weight, and to free up more space in the trucks," explained Kay, "but also we felt that our system was a bit limited; the VerTec was capable of delivering more power but the amplifiers were not. The Camcos are more powerful than the competitors, they are well balanced and the most accurate performers in the lightweight category."

Reiner Sassmann, Camco's managing director, is delighted to welcome Adlib Audio into the growing network of Vortex users. He said: "Adlib is a high-profile PA company and the amplifiers are already earmarked for a big international tour which will bring their power and efficiency to the attention of a lot of people who might otherwise have thought of Camco as a niche product line. Adlib's endorsement of the Vortex will play a vital role in expanding Camco's brand awareness at the top of the market."
