L-Acoustics Caps Off BottleRock\u2019s Main Stage<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Bottlerock Napa is a phrase synonymous with the beautiful vineyards of the California wine country. Celebrated for its picturesque views, fantastic cuisine, and spectacular wine offerings, Napa is home to Napa Valley Expo\u2019s annual BottleRock music festival, which marked its seventh anniversary in 2019. In addition to its eclectic lineup of more than 80 top artists performing on five stages, it was affectionately called the \u201cthe fancy Coachella\u201d by Bruno Mars during his headlining set; an appropriate nod to the festival\u2019s upscale amenities such as many food and beverage choices, celebrity chef demos, on-site spa, and other Bottlerock VIP facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like most multi-stage music festivals, noise reduction to nearby properties, other stages, and backstage hospitality was an obstacle. Over the previous years, inconsistent results for the main stage drove the desire to make a significant change. BottleRock festival promoter, C3 Presents, were facing difficulties providing coverage and meeting intelligibility requirements for this fancy Coachella\u2019s extended Bottlerock VIP areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using\u202fSoundvision\u202fto model the main stage and the \u201cproblem areas,\u201d\u202fDelicate Productions\u202fworked with L-Acoustics to develop optimal coverage. The main\u202fJaM\u202fCellars Stage was outfitted with left and right arrays comprised of K1 and K2, with SB28 subs ground-stacked below, and two delay towers positioned out in the audience area. Utilizing the full range of L-Acoustics short, medium, and long-throw products, Delicate was able to elevate the sonic experience in all the areas of the event: VIP rest area, the Platinum entrance; Aflac activation section, press room, and in the Platinum Lounge (a backstage Bottlerock VIP compound). Soundvision continued to provide invaluable insights when last-minute changes were needed on-site, after heavy rains leading up to the festival created the need for structural modifications. Elements of the deployment had to be reconfigured on location with\u202fSoundvision\u202fmaking it possible for the team to test solutions on-the-fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was the first time, Delicate deployed L-Acoustics on the main stage, and \u201cit was a complete success,\u201d according to Delicate Productions President, Jason Alt. Although the main stage audience area is 700 feet deep from the main hang to the back-fence line, and 500 feet wide, Alt notes that the L-Acoustics sound system delivered beautifully blanketed coverage across the venue space. C3 commented on how much better the coverage was and how few noise complaints they received from the neighbors, despite the right side of the main stage being less than 300 feet from the surrounding neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three things that I love about L-Acoustics for BottleRock: the global acceptance of K1\/K2 by the artists, how fast the system goes up, and how Soundvision rapidly and accurately guides us to accommodate last-minute changes to the design when needed. Add to that the excellent service and support from the manufacturer, and we couldn\u2019t be happier. We are truly proud to be part of the L-Acoustics family!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
