INDIANAPOLIS – ATK Audiotek, which supported the Super Bowl Halftime Show for the 15th year straight, once again deployed its custom-designed cart system with Harman’s JBL VerTec line arrays. It was the most-watched Super Bowl in history, seen by an estimated 111.3 million people.
Along with audio support for Halftime performers Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo and MIA, ATK Audiotek’s system was used for Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton’s rendition of “America the Beautiful,” Kelly Clarkson’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the Post Game Show, which included the presentation of the Lombardi Trophy to the New York Giants.
For Super Bowl XLVI, ATK Audiotek deployed its custom-designed cart system, which allows for easy setup between events and quick transport of the VerTec loudspeakers on and off the field. Each of the 18 carts included four JBL VerTec VT4889 fullsize line array elements and two VT4880A fullsize arrayable subwoofers.
In addition to its cart system, ATK also utilized the JBL VerTec and VLA line arrays that comprise the house PA system at Lucas Oil Stadium. ESCO Communications installed the system, which was designed by WJHW, for Lucas Oil Stadium’s opening in 2008.
“The VerTec line arrays provide an optimal combination of light weight, fidelity and output power capability, making them ideal for our cart system,” said Brett Valasek, general manager, ATK Audiotek. “The in-house PA system at Lucas Oil Stadium also sounds terrific and helped us deliver high-quality audio to the crowd of approximately 70,000 people.”
