Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about L-Acoustics LA 48a.

Features and functionality

  • The Kiva system often requires the LA4 amplifier, which can power 2 Kiva/Kilo boxes per channel and is essential for processing and DSP.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • The Kiva boxes weigh only 13 kilos each and include integral rigging, allowing for ground stacking by a single person, though it can be slightly fiddly.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The Kiva system, with 6 Kiva, 2 Kilo, and 2 DVSub per side, is effective for conferences and DJ gigs with up to 1000 attendees.

    Source

Comparisons

  • JBL VRX offers a powered version that's flexible and potentially more cost-effective compared to L-Acoustics, suitable for less demanding applications.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners find the Kiva system lacks punch compared to DV speakers but offers remarkable warmth for its size, making it suitable for smaller venues.

Used live during the Dynamite tour, as stated by monitor engineer Andrew Thornton in this January 1, 2006 Mix Online interview.

The band wears Sennheiser in-ears, while Kay listens to them through 10 EAW SM15 wedges and two EAW SM12s driven by Lab.gruppen LA48 amps with Klark Teknik crossovers “for a really high-powered wedge,” Thornton says. “Jay really likes high end, so it’s super bright onstage, and those wedges have a really great high-end sound.” (...) Monitor mixes are kept at a reasonable level. “Jay has a very simple mix onstage,” says Thornton. “He listens to most of the band acoustically, and his wedges pretty much have just keyboards and piano, so it’s actually not that loud onstage."
