L-Acoustics for Wells Fargo Center
Wells Fargo Center, located in Philadelphia, is a multi-purpose indoor arena that has been home to the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) since its opening in 1996. In addition to hosting hockey games, the arena also hosts concerts, basketball games, and other events. However, despite its popularity as a venue, the arena's sound quality had been lacking for years, leading to complaints from visitors and performers alike. In response, the Wells Fargo Center underwent a massive $265 million upgrade initiative to enhance the visitor experience, including providing concert-grade sound quality to every seat in the house. The upgrade initiative resulted in an unparalleled audio experience for visitors, demonstrating the venue's commitment to providing the best possible experience for all types of performances. The upgrade included the installation of a state-of-the-art sound system from L-Acoustics, a leading provider of professional sound equipment. The K2/K1-SB system was chosen for its powerful and precise coverage capabilities, which ensure that every seat in the arena receives the same high-quality sound experience. The system was flown on custom rigging with motorized hoists to maintain sightlines, ensuring that the sound system did not interfere with the view of the stage or the game. The L-Acoustics system is capable of producing a wide range of sound, from clear and crisp highs to deep and immersive bass. This means that no matter what type of event is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center, visitors can expect to hear every note and every word with crystal-clear clarity. |
Overall, the upgrade initiative at the Wells Fargo Center was a massive success, greatly enhancing the visitor experience and cementing the arena's status as one of the premier venues in the United States. With its new state-of-the-art sound system, the Wells Fargo Center is now able to provide concert-grade sound quality to every seat in the house, ensuring that every visitor has an unforgettable experience, no matter what type of event they are attending. The state-of-the-art K2 System has been a game-changer for the Wells Fargo Center. Attendees have been raving about the world-class sound quality and the electrifying atmosphere it creates during games and events. Furthermore, the audio engineers at the arena appreciate how adaptable and user-friendly the K2 System is, making it a perfect fit for a variety of events. Justo Gutierrez, the Director of AV and Sound, Sports and Live Events at Diversified, echoes this sentiment, stating that the L-Acoustics K2 System is the perfect concert sound system that venue operators are seeking nowadays.
