LAS VEGAS —The Pearl concert theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas recently opened with a performance by Gwen Stefani on April 21. SIA Acoustics designed the acoustics and sound system for the 2,500-seat arena; Audio Analysts installed the system, using the VerTec DP Series powered line arrays. FOH will take you inside the whole install in the June issue, until then here's a little info on the gear.
The heart of the system includes 40 JBL VERTEC VT4888DPAN powered enclosures (one line array on each side of the stage), with 20 VT4882DP arrayable subwoofers. Additionally, three groups of four VT4887DPAN powered line array elements (12 total) provide delay balcony fills. Rounding out the system at The Pearl are nearly 60 JBL Control 26C in-ceiling loudspeakers placed in various locations throughout the theater.
“A huge priority in choosing the loudspeaker system was to meet the riders of the world’s most demanding touring acts,” said Sam Berkow of SIA Acoustics. He further stated, “The VERTEC DP Series not only fit these requirements, but their combination of power and flexibility creates a scalable system that can be quickly and easily manipulated by The Pearl’s in-house production team to accommodate a variety of events.”
