VUE Climbs Into Latest Fitness Craze

Founded by renowned Los Angeles personal trainer, Jason Walsh, Rise Nation is the latest entrant in the rapidly growing group fitness category. Centered around upright Versaclimb equipment, each Rise Nation is equal parts climbing gym and nightclub with geometric custom-lit ceiling installations and high-energy soundtracks. To ensure their clients keep climing, Rise Nation selected Denver-area-based Contour Audio & Acoustics (“Contour”) to outfit both of the brand’s Denver locations with all-VUE systems centered around the newly released, ultra-high-output architectural e-Class system.

AV Technik expands VUE al-Class inventory with full-day training

AV Technik, one of VUE’s busy rental partners, has a philosophy that “great event experiences are born from great partnerships”. It’s this approach to business that has contributed to AV Technik’s and VUE Audiotechnik’s continued success. AV Technik’s president, Daniel Willis, decided to expand his inventory of VUE products to include al-8 Acoustic Linearity Line array elements to add to the al-4 arrays already in his arsenal.

VUE’s al-Class & h-Class powers the Imperial Ball 2020 featuring Johnny Depp

The Imperial Ball 2020 Charity Concert was once again held during the weekend of the NAMM show. The concert benefits The Sweet Stuff Foundation that was founded in 2013 to provide assistance to career musicians and families struggling with illness and disability.

Past Imperial Ball performers have included Steven Tyler, Joe Walsh, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp and more. Over the last 3 years, VUE Audio has co-sponsored the Ball by providing sound reinforcement needs through our rental partners. Most notably, Neptune Productions provided their VUE al-Class line arrays and h-Class for monitors and side-fills.

VUE NAMM Demo and Party

For the 2019 Holiday Season, The Magic Of Christmas is taking place at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine and the 82 piece orchestra will be performing over a 3 week period. In the past, Daniel Willis of AV Technik reports having used Dynacord Cobra and Meyer fill speakers mounted in the auditorium. When asked why he switched to VUE Audio al-4 he stated “We have always used Dynacord Cobra for this event – we felt that for how detailed the VUE al-4 is, it would be perfect for a large orchestra and vocalists.” 

AV Technik’s system engineer, Nick Pires, utilized Ease Focus to spec out 12 al-4s per side and ensure the rig was deployed properly. After the first performance, Willis explained “The system has exceeded our expectations for this application…Sound Killer…Our client (PSO) is thrilled. The coverage in the 2200 seat auditorium including the balcony, was crystal clear to the last row.”
