ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – Aurora Sound and Light Design installed the sound system for Boardwalk Beer Garden, a new attraction at Caesars Atlantic City. It incorporates several JBL PRX615M powered monitor loudspeakers for a changing assortment of live, recorded and DJ music.
"The indoor portion of the Boardwalk Beer Garden was the site of a former club, and already had a traditional sound system in place, but when the owners (Dusk Management Group) decided to create the Boardwalk Beer Garden featuring an outdoor seating and performance area, they needed additional sound reinforcement," noted Ian Hoffer, who directed the installation for Aurora Sound and Light Design, which specializes in nightclub system design.
"The project requirements called for high-quality, powered, and most importantly, portable speakers," Hoffer continued. "I suggested that we use JBL PRX615M monitors to be evenly spaced along the beer garden, which is a long rectangular area outside of Caesars."
The PRX615M features a 15-inch Differential Drive dual-voice-coil woofer and neodymium compression driver mounted to a 90º by 50º horn, all driven by a built-in dual 500-watt (1,000 watts total) Crown Audio amplifier.
"The PRX615M was ideal for this application," Hoffer said. "It fit the size and sound coverage requirements, and since it's self-powered, compact and weighs less than 50 pounds, the speakers are easy to move in and out. We also installed AC power and XLR audio receptacles next to each speaker to facilitate easy setup and takedown by the bar staff."
"The speakers have performed great so far," Hoffer added. "They're easily portable, and durable, which was a primary consideration for this application, and most importantly, they sound fantastic."
