d&b SL-Series Completes Brown Note Production's "Mission" at Denver Performance Venue The Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado is a scalable, state-of-the-art concert venue that opened in late July. The 60,000-sq.-ft. ballroom features a moving stage that provides flexible capacity from 2,200 to 3,950 guests and unrivaled sightlines via tiered rows. With a permanently installed d&b audiotechnik KSL system providing an exceptional listening experience, Mission Ballroom serves not only as a premiere concert facility, but also as a unique special event space for corporate meetings, award shows, and more. The newest Denver venue for AEG, with recent live events including opening night with Chevy Metal and Wynonna, followed by concerts from The Lumineers, the Trey Anastasio Band, Ben Harper, and the Steve Miller Band, to name a few. "We have been deploying d&b GSL systems at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, and Don Strasburg, co-president and senior talent buyer for the Red Rocks' AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, had really developed a liking for the system after hearing different artists and different genres of music through it," states Ryan Knutson, president of AVL integrator Brown Note Productions (Thornton, Colorado). Strasburg and Sherwood Webber (director of production at AEG Presents Rocky Mountains) had a chance to catch a demo of the KSL system early this year and heard the same type of voice and pattern control, taking interest in this system as a good fit for the venue." KSL, the "little sibling" of the d&b SL-Series, achieves full bandwidth constant directivity pattern control, significant headroom down to the lowest frequencies, and enhanced high frequency resolution in a comparatively small packageMission clean and powerful response of the KSL installed at the Mission Ballroom," states Webber. "We knew we needed to take the next step in evolution, as was philosophy of the venue from the start. Artists and fans agree that the present and future are realized with d&b at the Mission Ballroom." The d&b front of house system consists of 24 KSL (10 KSL8, two KSL12 per side), 11 SL-GSUB, six Yi10P used for front fills, two Yi7P for outfills, six 10S-D used for under balcony fills, eight D80 amplifiers, two D20 amplifiers, one 30D amplifier, and one DS10. The monitor system includes 12 M4 monitors, one AL90 and two V-GSUB for drum fill, one V7P, four AL90 and four V-GSUB for side fills, and four D20 amplifiers.
