Canada\u2019s highest music honors took place at Vancouver\u2019s Rogers Arena and the sound quality assured that the nation\u2019s finest singers and musicians came through loud and clear in the house<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VANCOUVER, British Columbia \u2013 May 2025 \u2013<\/strong> Each year, the Juno Awards celebrates Canada\u2019s top singers and musical artists in a televised event broadcast live on CBC. This year\u2019s three-plus-hour ceremony took place on March 30 at the cavernous Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Hosted by local native Michael Bubl\u00e9, the 54th annual show featured performances by Bubl\u00e9 himself, Josh Ross, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Aqyila, and Tia Wood, among others. Anne Murray was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and the band Sum 41 was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, playing its last-ever farewell performance, capping off the group\u2019s nearly 30-year run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Juno Awards is a fast-paced production with numerous moving elements and no room for error \u2013 or poor sound \u2013 which is why KiAN Sound brought in L-Acoustics L Series and K Series loudspeaker systems to ensure that not a note was missed throughout the 19,000-capacity venue. This was one of the first deployments of KiAN\u2019s newly-acquired L-Acoustics L2 and L2D enclosures. The L Series delivers exceptional sonic performance with superior clarity, precise coverage, and remarkable low-frequency extension while maintaining the unmistakable L-Acoustics signature sound. These eco-conscious systems require 56% less paint, 30% less wood, and 60% less steel than traditional line arrays, highlighting L-Acoustics\u2019 commitment to sustainability. It was, says KiAN GM Derek Mahaffey, a winning outing as it was also the company\u2019s first-ever Juno Awards ceremony show, after over a decade of providing live sound for many of the event\u2019s peripheral shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Junos sounded wonderful this year,\u201d raves Mahaffey. \u201cMany of the Canadian music industry\u2019s leading artists and execs were in the audience, and we deployed an L-Acoustics sound system that let everyone hear the music perfectly in every seat. The system\u2019s coverage was extremely consistent; there were no dead spots. When it comes to sound reinforcement systems, KiAN\u2019s owner, Mark Reimann, always goes the extra distance to ensure every single component is perfect, right down to the cables and connectors. With a production of this importance, we needed the very best system in place, and that was L Series.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system brought in by KiAN (pronounced \u201ccayenne,\u201d like the pepper) for this year\u2019s Juno Awards was specifically designed to address the 270\u00b0 seating configuration. It consisted of six L2<\/a> and two L2D<\/a> in total for the left and right main arrays. Two hangs of 12 K2<\/a> per side served as side-fills, with another set of 12 K2 used for the rear out-fills. Cardioid-configured KS28<\/a> subs were flown eight per side, with eight more ground-stacked to anchor the LFE. Delay coverage was delivered by two hangs of 12 Kara II<\/a> per side, while six X8 front-fills were built into stage and buttressed by four A15 side front-fills. The performers who preferred traditional monitor wedges enjoyed a dozen available X15<\/a> at their feet, plus a pair of A15 as side-fill monitors and an SB18<\/a> sub for the low notes. Eight LA7.16<\/a> and 31 LA12X<\/a> amplified controllers powered the entire setup, with system management achieved via a pair of P1<\/a> Milan-AVB processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Juno Awards sought the Holy Grail of all awards shows: top-flight musical reproduction combined with crystal-clear speech intelligibility. \u201cRogers Arena is a pretty good venue, sound-wise, but it\u2019s an arena, so it can get a little boomy in the back,\u201d Mahaffey adds. \u201cBut every element of our L-Acoustics system combined to create a single experience. The transition in coverage between L2 to K2 was seamless, and the front to back of the system was virtually flawless as well. Rear rejection off the PA was also excellent, with almost no bleed onto the stage. Out in the house, when I walked the entire arena \u2013 from the lower bowl on the floor to the upper bowl \u2013 everything sounded just spectacular everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved working on the L2 system,\u201d enthuses Juno Awards Head of Sound Mark Vreeken, who also mixed front-of-house sound for the production. \u201cIt had great coverage and more consistent throw than any other rig I\u2019ve used. Also, I have never heard that kind of rejection on stage, so the vocal tone and clarity was really nice. We were very well supported by Patricia Carr from L-Acoustics, who brought in Andr\u00e9 Pichette and Phil Hornung to help tune and set up with the KiAN crew. We also had our longtime trusted Systems Engineer Fran\u00e7ois Hall\u00e9 and Audio Crew Chief Alex Bibeau there from Solotech, who provided the control package. Tal Ophir and the guys from KiAN had the PA flown in record time and did a great job as they always do. We were in good hands!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInsight Productions sends a huge \u2018thank you\u2019 to Patricia Carr and the L-Acoustics team for their partnership and collaboration,\u201d says Lindsay Cox, Co-Chief Content Officer and Executive Producer for Insight Productions, which produced the show. \u201cWe were thrilled to be working with such an incredible group of professionals who focus so carefully on the artists as they bring their sound to life. As showrunner of The Juno Awards, I\u2019m tasked with delivering the best possible live and broadcast experience to the artists, and I have great appreciation for L-Acoustics\u2019 attention to detail and client care. They planned for months how to provide the best possible experience for our arena Juno audience with a unique focus on each artists\u2019 style and genre. We are additionally grateful to KiAN Sound, which made certain that all of the live audio requirements for a show of this magnitude were met. We could not be more appreciative of the team from KiAN and L-Acoustics for bringing our show to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
