LAS VEGAS – R2W designed and installed a JBL loudspeaker system at Fine Entertainment's 1,100-capacity PBR Rock Bar in the Miracle Mile complex at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Hotel. The sound system is being used for background restaurant music, televised sporting events and live rock concerts.
PBR Rock Bar combines a rock ‘n' roll atmosphere with a nightclub, American grill, more than 100 HD televisions and a mechanical bull. PBR Rock Bar's main dining hall also transforms into a stage for live performances at night.
R2W installed 21 JBL AM7212/95 12-inch full-range 2-way loudspeakers, five ASB6125 high-power dual subwoofers, eight AC28/26 2-way loudspeakers and four Control 24CT 2-way ceiling speakers for the 13,000 square-foot dining/bar area. In addition, there are 15 JBL Control 28T-60 2-high-output speakers for the 3,000-square foot outdoor patio area.
The PBR Rock Bar, which is licensed under the Professional Bullriders Association, also features BSS Soundweb London BLU-160, BLU-120 and BLU-8 for multi-zone control and signal distribution.
David Starck, system engineer for R2W, cited "the excellent cost-to-performance ratio" as a key factor for choosing the JBL gear. Combining multiple series of loudspeakers from JBL, R2W supplied the Rock Bar with a system that "easily transforms from the restaurant setting to a live sound hot spot," he added.
"We needed really high SPL levels for this install and the JBL speakers were perfect," said Kevin Ruschmann, project manager, R2W. "We chose the high-powered JBL system and it turned out very nicely. Everything sounds great."
