Johannesburg, South Africa (March6, 2026)—Blue Array Productions now owns what’s believed to be South Africa’s first d&b audiotechnik SL-Series P.A. system, having purchased 28 KSL line array modules and accompanying D40 amplifiers from Stage Audio Works

The companies first worked together back in 2009, when Blue Array first purchased a Q-Series system from SAW, followed by a J-Series rig two years later. The new purchase, according to Blue Array, is to meet growing global and local demand for d&b systems
