It's not an exaggeration to say that Nashville's Lower Broadway is legendary for its nightlife. The city's short stretch of only a few blocks is home to dozens of nightclubs and pubs, most with multiple stages and musical acts to fuel even the most voracious pub crawlers. It takes a very special kind of establishment to stand out in such a competitive market, and Barstool Nashville is definitely up to the task.

Part of the Barstool Sports portfolio, Barstool Nashville opened its doors in the summer of 2023 in a landmark brick building overlooking the Cumberland River, and immediately established itself as a nexus for the city's trendsetters and influencers. The multi-level, multimedia club features high-end video throughout, along with a cutting edge sound system featuring a mix of DAS Audio and E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio loudspeakers and amplification.

For system designer Salvatore Accardi of Accardi Designs, a primary focus was on choosing a system that could provide the flexibility to address the wide range of artists from across different genres who play each night in the legendary Music City. The system centers around a VANTEC curved array covering the main stage, with a pair of three VANTEC-20A 12" active two-way systems flown with VANTEC-118A 18" direct firing active subwoofers on either side of the stage. Three UX-218 subs are installed onstage, with a fourth UX-218 on the other side of the bar for extra punch.

The venue's massive main area is covered by a total of 40 speakers from the E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio series. The ES-10 high-powered two-way point source speakers provided perfect coverage for the entire space, the company says, based on simulation software provided by the DAS Audio engineering team. Six Quantum Series Q-10 10" compact subwoofers and three more ARTEC-322S compact dual 12" bass reflex subs keep the dance floor pumping. And outside on the deck, six WR-8826-DX dual 6" weather resistant boxes keep the music going. The system is powered by eight E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio EP-6K4 four-channel 1200W amps and one EP-22K4 four-channel 4,600W amp.
