As FORSCINK Inc. celebrates its 41st year, the company is entering a new era - one defined by ambition, innovation,and an uncompromising pursuit of audio excellence.
For more than four decades, Forscink has been a formidable force in the Philippine technical production industry. Under the progressive leadership of its President, Philip Santos, the company has built a reputation for delivering world-class technical expertise and production solutions for some of the country's most demanding large-scale live events.
Now, that legacy is reaching another significant milestone with the arrival of the d&b audiotechnik GSL System, making Forscink the first company in the Philippines to add the flagship GSL system to its professional audio inventory.
The acquisition represents far more than an expansion of Forscink's rental inventory. It is a bold statement about where the Philippine live sound industry is heading—and Forscink's determination to be at the forefront of that evolution.
Completing the d&b Family
The significance of the GSL arrival was highlighted by Amos Jen, Sales Director APAC at d&b audiotechnik, who described the system as a critical addition to the country's professional rental market.
“This is the first GSL system in the Philippines and fills the gap that we had before when we only had the KSL system. Now, with the GSL, we complete the d&b family and are able to address larger international projects.”
With the GSL joining Forscink's existing inventory, the company is now positioned to tackle productions requiring even greater scale, output, precision, and consistency—opening the door to major international touring productions and high-profile events.
For a market increasingly demanding international standards of production, the arrival of the GSL could prove to be a significant turning point.
Raising the Bar for Premium Sound
For Forscink President Philip Santos, the decision to invest in the GSL is rooted in a much broader vision for the company's role in the industry.
“I'm really happy that we have the two best loudspeaker brands in the world, which can fulfill any sound requirement. Having both d&b GSL and L-Acoustics K2 systems in the Philippines has set a new benchmark in the industry.”
Santos believes Forscink's history of introducing new technologies and raising production standards gives the company a unique perspective on what the Philippine market needs next.
“It's a game-changer because we started a lot of things in the Philippines, and now with the GSL System, we have raised the threshold for premium-quality sound reinforcement in the country.”
The statement reflects a philosophy that has been central to Forscink's development over the past 41 years: don't simplyfollow where the industry is going but also help define where it goes next.
First Look at MusikManila Expo 2026
The first glimpse of Forscink's new GSL System was unveiled at thecompany's stand during the recent MusikManila Expo, giving industry professionals an opportunity to see the new addition ahead of its deployment into the Philippine live-event market.
Supporting the introduction was 808 International Trading Incorporated, d&b audiotechnik's sales partner in the Philippines.
The unveiling generated considerable interest among industry professionals, with the arrival of the GSL representing a major expansion of the technical capabilities available to Philippine event producers, touring companies, and rental partners.
A Powerful Endorsement for d&b
For d&b audiotechnik, having a company of Forscink's stature invest in the GSL is equally significant. Amos Jen added: “Forscink, being one of the biggest rental houses in the Philippines, is well known and well established.
For them to endorse d&b is a great statement for us.” That endorsement carries considerable weight in an industrywhere equipment investment is ultimately about performance, reliability, scalability, and the ability to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of international productions.
A New Benchmark Begins
Forscink's acquisition of the d&b GSL System represents another defining chapter in the company's four-decade journey. More importantly, it signals a changing landscape for professional sound reinforcement in the Philippines. With its combination of advanced
technology, extensive production experience, and a rental inventory built around leading loudspeaker platforms, Forscink is positioning itself to deliver the scale and sonic performance expected by today's global touring and live-event industry. After 41 years of pushing boundaries, Forscink is clearly not looking back. With the debut ofthe d&b GSL System, the next chapter of Philippines live sound has arrived, and Forscink intends to be at thefront of it.
