3G Productions Provides Creative Audio For Jabbawockeez At Luxor

Las Vegas, NV––When popular hip-hop dance crew Jabbawockeez show Prism opened the new 850-seat theater at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, 3G Productions was the first choice to design and install the audio system.

Winners of the first season of America’s First Dance Crew, Jabbawockeez has appeared in commercials for Pepsi and Gatorade and performed on Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Live with Regis and Kelly. The dynamic and highly visual eight-man dance crew toured with New Kids on the Block and Jesse McCartney, launched their own clothing line and performed at the Gator Bowl, with Shaquille O’Neal at the NBA All-Star game and Taylor Swift at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, just to name a few recent appearances.

Because a Jabbawockeez performance is so visually intense by nature, providing audio for Prism presented special challenges from the outset. As 3G’s Marketing Director Keith Conrad points out, “Given the nature of a dance entertainment show and the need to have the full stage clear and viewable for the audience, we couldn’t have any front fills or subs on stage or in front of stage where they would normally go.”

Employing a d&b audioteknik system that included 12 Q-Subs, 6 V12s a side and eight E8s for the 5.1 surround, 3G applied a particularly unique, problem-solving approach to the system design.

“The client wanted the most SPL possible, but we had to put the subs underneath the stage in a very limited area,” he continues. “The Q subs fit perfectly and were easily able to meet the SPL output requirements for the show.

“Without the ability to have front fills on stage or blocking any portion of the stage, we had to get creative with the arrays. The V12 is rigged at a 15 degree angle on the bottom of array to cover the front seats and the horizontal dispersion of 120 degrees allows for the coverage of a fairly wide room with only 6 boxes a side.

“The client also wanted a surround sound system but didn’t have points or places to hang the boxes in the rear of theater,” Keith concludes. “The d&b E8 was a perfect enclosure for coverage and size, could be mounted directly to the wall and be out of the way, but still provide necessary SPLs for the show.”

Asked about 3G’s role in the show, Jabbawockeez Production Manager Fabian Herrera said, “We had some unique challenges with the theater based on the exaggerated width of the room and the need to keep the stage clear for the dancers. We brought in 3G Productions based on their strong reputation as a service-focused provider and extensive high-end inventory in the Vegas market. They designed a top of the line d&b audiotechnik V-series with Q sub system that blew us away, both in terms of SPL output and coverage and the ability to see the show without any obstructions.”
