House of Blues has standardized on Adamson Systems Engineering line arrays throughout all its venues, together with its Chicago location, which has 14 CS10 clever line array cupboards per aspect and a dozen CS119 subwoofers under.

House of Blues live performance halls have all the time served up enjoyable reveals, and with almost a dozen venues throughout the U.S., the Live Nation-owned chain hosts a jaw-dropping 2,200 performances a yr. Each location is totally different, nevertheless, with capacities starting from 850 to 2,500, and till not too long ago, the lighting and audio techniques diversified dramatically as effectively. That’s now altering, as HOB is almost midway by way of a three-year program to replace and unify the home manufacturing parts throughout 10 venues.

David Helberg, Director of Production at Live Nation, recalled, “Our COO walked right into a House and stated, ‘This isn’t a fantastic expertise for the artists or the followers; how a lot would it not value to redo each House of Blues?’ Be cautious what you want for, although—we requested for a bunch of capital and all of the sudden we needed to handle installations inside an lively calendar.”

Helberg used it as a chance to reinforce the HOB model identification by way of constant lighting, audio and assisted listening techniques, and opted to work with K2 for design; Clair Global’s Eighth Day Sound for system buying, prep and set up; and its personal native crews to deliver every new system to life. HOBs in Orlando, New Orleans, Houston and Chicago had new techniques put in in 2022, however seeking to make a direct, chain-wide influence, Helberg additionally changed each HOB console the primary yr, standardizing on Midas Pro2 desks and XTA MX36 console switching techniques. “Consoles are so small nowadays that everybody brings their very own,” he stated. “The XTA can change between three consoles with a button-push, as a result of while you’re in the midst of a seven-band heavy steel night time, if you need to do something greater than that, you’re screwed.”

When selecting the brand new HOB P.A., Helberg went with Adamson Systems Engineering, which handles manufacturing in its residence base of Port Perry, Ontario. “When COVID hit, they had been the one ones who may come to the desk with assured delivery dates,” he stated. “Not that everyone else wouldn’t have tried, however they had been those that stepped up and stated, ‘Yep, we will do that within the time allotted within the RFP.’” That stated, for Helberg, it was Adamson’s response to the Houston venue’s design that sealed the deal: “We had been seeking to get some LF into the balconies and requested if they might break up an array and put subs in the midst of it; they figured it out. Everybody else had a prescribed technique to inform us methods to use their gear, however for our utility, given the cut-off dates, Adamson listened with open ears.”

Nonetheless, the techniques are, by necessity, distinctive to every venue.

Chicago’s HOB, the fourth set up of 2022, was tackled in December. “We have a really small, very tall, horseshoe-shaped venue modeled on an opera home in Prague,” stated Neil Gustafson, Production Manager for the positioning. “Front-of-house is 31 toes from the downstage edge and it’s three balconies that go straight up, all opera bins, to an space affectionately often known as Nosebleed.” While the primary hangs are every 14 CS10s and there’s a dozen CS119 subwoofers on the ground, the highest balcony is roofed by an extra half-dozen flown CS119s and 4 extra CS10s. He laughed, “In some other membership, it’d be sufficient for a full rig, however that’s my balcony fill!”

Each set up has taken three days from tear-out to first present, with producer, set up and home manufacturing groups current all through. This yr will see the method repeat at Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Cleveland HOBs, however again in Chicago, Gustafson is already thrilled with the long-awaited new system.

“Walking across the room, it feels nice and I’m going to place that on the set up group as a result of they knew the place we wanted protection,” he stated. “Everyone’s digging it; nobody’s pooh-poohing an Adamson rig, saying, ‘No, this isn’t my rider.’ They deliver up a fader, pull the observe they use to shoot the room and say, ‘All proper, it’s all there.’ It’s crushing out entrance each night time.”
