Last year, LD used an Electro-Voice XLC rig to provide smooth, intelligible coverage at the 18,500-seat Thomas and Mack Centre on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas. This year the WNFR returned to the Thomas and Mack Centre, and so did LD Systems' XLC rig. But with the added precision and power of NetMax N8000 system controllers with FIR-Drive, and XLC127 loudspeakers with DVX woofer upgrades.
The system, comprising XLC127DVX cabinets and XLC215 subs in two-over-six combinations, was deployed in four arrays surrounding the arena's central scoreboard and video wall.
"Our clients and the show's FOH Engineer Derreld Yost were both amazed by the sound of this year's system in comparison to last year's," says Robert Ausmus, director of production services, LD Systems. "The combination of the DVX upgrade and NetMax with FIR-Drive is simply superb. It's absolutely dialed-in precise in every venue we bring it to."
