TAKING A SHOT
L-Acoustics Takes on Event Venue's
Challenging Geometry Atlanta
The Challenge of the Venue
In the Reynoldstown neighborhood of Atlanta, The
Eastern is a state-of-the-art music and event venue.
One wall of The Eastern has an unusual turn, however.
This led to the installation of L-Acoustics Panflex
horizontal steering technology to get around it, as
well as to provide good SPLs throughout the area.
The 2,300-person-capacity venue boasts a
multi-tiered floorplan, complete with a rooftop
area offering sightlines.
Amenities of the venue also include a covered
performance space, a bar, a restaurant and openair
seating.
Nauman Lalani, director of special projects
for Music Matters Productions, an Atlanta-based
AVL integrator, said, " The main room is sharply
asymmetric, with the house-right wall at a full
45-degree angle to the stage. [This] was very
surprising for a purpose-built venue. It's really a
trapezoidal shape, which was very challenging for
the sound-system design. "

Selecting the L-Acoustics Technology
While exploring solutions to deliver full-range coverage for the
space, Lalani discovered L-Acoustics K2 technology was best
suited for the project.
" When we looked at a model of the venue and [considered]
the coverage pattern and SPL goals we wanted to hit - especially
at the low end for EDM shows - the K2 with its steerable fins
was ideally suited for the task. The alternative would have been
having to include a third speaker hang and all the motors, rigging,
cabling - and cost - that goes with that. L-Acoustics was the way
to go, " he said.
The K2 employs L-Acoustics Panflex, a unique horizontal steering
technology that combines mechanically adjustable fins with
DSP algorithms, effective from 300Hz.
Narrowing or widening the horizontal directivity serves many
purposes, which include adapting to the width of the listening
area, enabling consistent SPL distribution for long and short
distances, reducing or extending overlapping areas, and avoiding
reflecting surfaces.
The integrator outfitted the venue with an estimated $1.5 million
worth of sound, lighting and video systems all together.
