The Venue at Thunder Valley once again relies on L-Acoustics technology

With a Kudo SB28 system L-Acoustics installed in its nine-hundred-seat hall for twelve years, The Venue at Thunder Valley has trusted this manufacturer again to equip its concert space, with capacity for 4.500 personas, with K series enclosures, A and X.

The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort It is a new entertainment complex, which has a concert hall with capacity for 4.500 seating, inaugurated just a month ago in the Californian city of Lincoln (EU) and that is already demonstrating the value it offers in its shows, through whose stage the band has passed Eagles, Bruno Mars, Santana and more.

One of the attractions for world-renowned artists like those mentioned is the acoustics offered by the room and the new technologies they have installed., since they are key elements that further enrich their performances.

In this sense and after using a system for nearly twelve years Kudo/SB28 of L-Acoustics in your space Pano Hall, with capacity for nine hundred seats, The owners of The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort have once again trusted this manufacturer's technology to equip their new concert hall with the venues of the series K, A and X.

The L-Acoustics applications team and Acoustic, consultant who specified the audio design of the new room, together with the installer CTM Sound to deploy the sound system that suited the requirements of The Venue at Thunder Valley.

The two main systems are made up of fourteen K2 per side, and reinforced with two other flown arrays of siete subwoofers K1-SB on each side, providing enough power to cover practically the entire seating area, including its rear and mid-level balcony, with full-range, fully coherent sound.

Besides, The system features more low-end power from a dozen subwoofers KS28 covering the end of the room with a central flown group.

The first rows are covered by eight Kiva II speakers on the edge of the stage, while four arrays of three speakers have been installed in the upper part of the two balconies A15i each, two Focus and one Wide, to provide complete coverage of that area. The artists have twenty L-Acoustics monitor wedges on stage X15.

The system is fed with twenty-three LA12X amplified controllers and one LA4X, with a couple of system processors P1 a FOH, allowing guest consoles or EQ. Audio transport is done through a Milan AVB network, managed by a dozen LS10 network switches located throughout the space, including FOH, video control and amplification room.

“The combination of K2 and A15i for the upper balcony meant that we didn't have to open the main arrays as much to reach the upper seats,” he explains. Chris Miller, engineer and owner of CTM Sound-. We found all the tools we needed at L-Acoustics to fit this project perfectly.

The result of this design “is not only high quality sound, but there is very little difference in SPL from the front to the back of the room, with uniform and consistent coverage at all times”, assures Miller.

This is not Thunder Valley Casino Resort's first L-Acoustics sound system. They are Pano Hall counts from year 2011 with a Kudo system, composed of two arrays of twelve speakers each. Some of them have been reused as side filling for the new room, together with several SB28 subwoofers. “It is a classic speaker model from this manufacturer, and they sound very good”, Miller adds..

Scott Prentice, Production Manager at The Venue at Thunder Valley, remember the presentation of Eagles in the new installation: “When a band like this arrives, accustomed to top-notch sound technology, Having a system like K2 makes a difference, in addition to saving time and labor costs for touring artists”.

L-Acoustics technicians adjusted the system K2 of the room, this person in charge points out. “Other spaces tend to be multipurpose rooms, some of which turn out to be concerts. But The Venue at Thunder Valley is a theater designed specifically for music and has a public address system that makes it the best in our market.”.
