After using a Kudo\/SB28 system in its 900-seat Pano Hall for a dozen years, the property has now equipped its brand new 4,500-seat concert venue with K, A, and X Series enclosures<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINCOLN, California \u2013 March 2023 \u2013<\/strong> The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort is a new 4,500-seat entertainment space officially christened on Valentine\u2019s Day this year. Under the aegis of the United Auburn Indian Community Tribal Council, the $100 million, 150,000-square-foot entertainment complex in Lincoln, California, approximately 30 miles north of Sacramento, is already proving the value of its state-of-the-art approach to venue technology with the first run of shows. That started with the Eagles\u2019 \u201cHotel California 2023\u201d tour, followed by Bruno Mars, and then Santana with Bryan Adams, plus The Black Crowes, Frankie Valli, Ringo Starr, and many more in the wings, all using The Venue\u2019s newly installed L-Acoustics K2<\/a> sound system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touring artists like these are attracted to the venue for its controlled acoustics and leading-edge technologies, with the L-Acoustics K2 system as its audio flagship. \u201cWith a system like K2 in place, touring shows can leave all or most of their touring PA on the truck,\u201d observes Chris Miller, engineer and owner of Sacramento-based CTM Sound, the project\u2019s audio systems integrator and exclusive audio production vendor for Thunder Valley. \u201cWe were very comfortable taking on a room this size with K2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In consultation with the L-Acoustics applications team and Akustiks, the consultancy that ultimately specified the venue\u2019s audio design, CTM installed a system that perfectly addressed The Venue at Thunder Valley. For instance, the two main hangs of 14 K2 per side, buttressed with two flown hangs of seven K1-SB<\/a> subs per side, are powerful enough to cover virtually the entire seating area, including reaching nearly 200 feet to the rear of the venue and its middle-level balcony with full-range, fully coherent sound. More low-end power comes from a dozen KS28<\/a> subs, end-firing as a flown center cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front rows are covered by eight Kiva II<\/a> loudspeakers across the stage lip, while upstairs, the upper of the venue\u2019s two balconies covered by four hangs of three A15i<\/a> speakers each\u2014two Focus, one Wide<\/a>\u2014to provide complete coverage of that seating area. And performers onstage enjoy 20 L-Acoustics X15<\/a> monitor wedges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is powered by 23 LA12X and one LA4X amplified controllers and managed by a pair of P1<\/a> system processors matrixed at FOH, allowing for guest consoles or EQ. Audio transport is over a Milan AVB network, managed by a dozen LS10<\/a> network switches located throughout the venue, including at FOH, video control, and the amp room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe combination of K2 and A15i hangs for the upper balcony meant we didn\u2019t have to splay the main hangs as much to reach the upper seats,\u201d explains Miller. \u201cWe found every tool we needed in the L-Acoustics toolbox to fit this project perfectly. As a result, it not only sounds fantastic but there\u2019s very little difference in SPL from the front to the back of the house. The coverage is even and consistent throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t Thunder Valley Casino Resort\u2019s first L-Acoustics sound system. The property\u2019s 900-seat Pano Hall venue had an L-Acoustics Kudo system installed, consisting of two hangs of 12 loudspeakers each, in 2011. Some of those have been repurposed as side-fills for the new venue, along with several existing SB28 subs. \u201cThat\u2019s a classic L-Acoustics speaker model, and they still sound great,\u201d says Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he was overseeing the load-in for the facility\u2019s Eagles performance, Scott Prentice, production manager for The Venue at Thunder Valley, said, \u201cWhen you have a band like this coming in that\u2019s used to top-of-the-line sound technology, having a system like K2 makes all the difference. K1 and K2 are at the top of every rider I see, so it says something about the venue when they see L-Acoustics there.\u201d He adds that aside from symbolizing the venue\u2019s own dedication to sonic quality, K2 being installed can also save touring artists time and labor costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, he notes, The Venue at Thunder Valley\u2019s K2 system is specifically tuned for the room. \u201cL-Acoustics technicians came here to tune it for our space,\u201d he says. \u201cOther venues in the region tend to be multipurpose rooms, spaces that do a number of things, some of which happen to be concerts. But The Venue at Thunder Valley is a theater designed specifically for music, and it has a PA system that makes it the best in our market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gene Whitehouse, chairman of the United Auburn Indian Community, is quoted on the Thunder Valley Casino Resort website as proclaiming, \u201cThe United Auburn Indian Community is proud to have the ability to continue to position Thunder Valley as Northern California\u2019s premier entertainment destination,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Venue is the future of entertainment at Thunder Valley, and we look forward to attracting big-name performers year-round.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
