Bauder Audio Systems replaced a 25-year-old rig at Atlantic City\u2019s busy Event Center with an efficient, high-performance L2\/L2D-based professional sound system design<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey \u2013 September 2025 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThey wanted something rider friendly that could meet the needs of all their events, and they recognized L-Acoustics as a leader in rider requests,\u201d explains Brian Naab, production manager for Horsham, Pennsylvania-based Bauder Audio Systems, speaking about the Event Center at Atlantic City\u2019s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. \u201cThe Event Center is a multi-purpose space that hosts everything from Seinfeld to Def Leppard. It\u2019s comedians, it\u2019s corporate, it\u2019s luncheons, it can be full-blown rock and roll, and so they needed a versatile professional sound system that could handle everything equally well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borgata\u2019s Event Center offers a 175′ x 175′ multi-use ballroom with a hydraulic-lift stage at one end that can sit from floor level up to five feet high. The venue can be transformed into different configurations depending on the type of event being presented, and the speed and ease with which rigging can be moved and the space transformed is also a major plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The space hosts a wide variety of events, so \u201cthey needed a versatile loudspeaker system that could handle everything equally well,\u201d says Bauder Audio\u2019s Brian Naab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Naab, the L-Acoustics L Series system is ideal for the Event Center because it meets the venue\u2019s SPL requirements, and its more compact, slimmer profile improves sight lines, which Borgata\u2019s production team appreciates. \u201cThe cardioid and supercardioid options vastly improve rejection behind the PA,\u201d explains Naab. \u201cSo, for the corporate events, when they\u2019ve got a CEO walking around on a lav, they\u2019ll have far more gain-before-feedback, which is a great thing. On the other end of the spectrum, their rock and roll clients see the L-Acoustics name and immediately know that the system will provide the SPL and integrity that they\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He notes that he sees installations and tours increasingly making the switch to L2 and L2D because of their \u201cclarity, punch, directionality, size and weight, and incredible rigging speed.\u201d Gone are the concerns over pins and angles, as all vertical adjustments are now done via software, and with Soundvision, dispersion can be precisely tailored to tightly blanket audiences from the front to back row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast and Flexible Performer<\/strong>
\u201cIt was important to get something we can move pretty quickly,\u201d says Borgata Production Manager Scott Reagan. \u201cThe way the system\u2019s so tunable in the software was a big win for us. The thing that pushed it to L-Acoustics, for me, was the ease of use going up and down and how transparent the sound was. Sarah McLachlan\u2019s tour brought an L Series system here, and it was the best I\u2019d heard our room sound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the L-Acoustics upgrade, the Center\u2019s typical concert configuration features a 16-foot thrust stage that juts out downstage of the proscenium as an extension to the permanent stage. The PA is flown downstage of that extension, and it consists of a left-right setup of two L-Acoustics L2<\/a> over one L2D<\/a> per side, with six KS28<\/a> subwoofers per side flown behind the mains in a cardioid configuration. Eight Kiva II<\/a> enclosures spread out across the stage lip handle front-fill duties, while an X12<\/a> per side covers the gaps on the far edges. The system is fed via an L-Acoustics P1<\/a> processor and measurement platform that converts signals from a tour\u2019s consoles into a redundant Milan-AVB drive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For comedy performances, the stage thrust is omitted, and the PA flies just downstage of the proscenium with only one L2 over one L2D per side, while the subs are reduced to four per side. With the stage extension removed, the entire hang moves from 20 feet downstage to about four feet downstage of the proscenium. The subs also move offstage of the mains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system\u2019s flexibility shines with the venue\u2019s multiple configurations. The Event Center features removable bleachers, a two-thirds house soft curtain, and a half-house hard airwall. \u201cWe can fly the PA in one configuration but recall different settings appropriate for each room size,\u201d explains Borgata A1 David Frank. \u201cWhether we\u2019re running with airwalls closed, bleachers in or out, or different size configurations, we have two hang positions and can instantly optimize the sound. That\u2019s a real plus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good coverage is also of paramount importance. \u201cOur coverage has gotten a lot better thanks to the quality and tonality of the speakers,\u201d continues Frank. \u201cWe now have a complete system that handles everything\u2014no more renting or pulling gear from trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior Performance and Problem-Solving<\/strong>
Naab says that the room sounds \u201camazing\u201d now with consistent coverage everywhere in the space. \u201cWe\u2019ve found that L2 is really nailing that consistency throughout every project we\u2019ve deployed it on,\u201d he adds. He credits much of that success to L-Acoustics Soundvision acoustical modeling software. \u201cWe trust in it,\u201d he confirms. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to share our thoughts with the client through Soundvision, and be able to very accurately predict the SPL and coverage that they\u2019re going to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system also solved a persistent acoustic problem. Reagan notes that previously the venue had some slapback issues where sounds would bounce off the back wall when the airwall was in. \u201cWith Soundvision and L2, they just hit the button, and it stops the frequencies from bouncing off that wall,\u201d he says. \u201cYou get crystal clear audio without having to move anything or treat the walls or deal with anything else. Technology at its finest right there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd tours keep commenting on how much quieter the stage is,\u201d Reagan adds. \u201cOne engineer was amazed \u2013 he thought everything was off running through the front of house system because the stage was so clean. That\u2019s just how well the cardioid pattern controls directivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank says the system \u201chas a good response, and it sounds great,\u201d he remarks. \u201cIt meets our high expectations and the expectations of our headliners.\u201d He also feels that the Borgata audio team is constantly learning with the L2 system and all of its possibilities. \u201cWe host a lot of events here and regularly go back and forth between the concert and the comedy setups, so speed of switchover is of the essence. We\u2019re still in the process of learning how to best streamline the room\u2019s overall reconfiguration, but the L Series loudspeakers are already a big part of helping that go as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reagan and Frank offer major props to Bauder Audio, praising their quality service and how they packaged the system and set up its different configurations, as well as to Bauder A1\/Systems Engineer Craig \u201cJunior\u201d Kaufmann for being indispensable in understanding the new system and readily available to help with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
