Dominic de Gruyter and Lucien Smolders, both with 20 years’ experience and success in the Belgian audio rental industry, formed their own hire company, PFL, a couple of years ago.
The main market segments serviced by PFL are corporate events and tele/video conferencing, and in a short space of time they have become one of the major providers of international meetings and conferences throughout Europe.

But in 2003 PFL decided to expand its concert sound department as well. Quality and multifunctionality were the two criteria for their choice of audio equipment, and from the vast choice available to them they opted for eight stacks of Martin Audio W8C and twelve LE12JB floor monitors (to expand their existing LE400 fleet).

To show off the potential of the new system, PFL took on no fewer than 30 open air festivals this summer.
Two months after their first job with Praga Kahn, Dominic said he was convinced the company had made the correct decision in choosing Martin Audio.

He is now predicting a further expansion of the company’s Martin Audio inventory in the near future.
