Franklin Music Hall

Bauder Audio is proud to have installed a brand-new L-Acoustics K2 rig in the historic Franklin Music Hall in August of 2022 upholding the venue’s reputation as a premiere destination for touring artists.

“K2 was the natural option to replace V-DOSC for a venue that hosts a lot of rock, rap, and DJ performances,” explains Bauder Audio Production Manager Brian Naab. “It’s got plenty of power and is the most rider-friendly box out there. Plus, it’s compact enough for a venue like this.” He’s referring to the room’s acoustical intricacies, which the main K2 can primarily address, thanks to their adjustable L-Fins, with the 90-degree asymmetric model used on the K2 enclosures nearest the side wall to keep the energy away from its reflective surface. “A combination of the L-Fins and the acoustical treatments keeps the sound squarely on the audience,” says Naab. “It’s a great rock sound system for a great rock room and nicely carries on the club’s legacy for providing the very best sound.”

“As Franklin Music Hall’s General Manager for the past four years, Toni Bourgeois has her finger on the pulse of what artists and engineers are looking for, and she says K2 perfectly fits the bill: “Touring bands and their production teams that have played here on and off for years have all raved about how much better the room sounds, and so have our local friends and patrons. We’re thrilled that we were able to upgrade to our new K2 rig, and we’re looking forward to hosting even more amazing-sounding shows for our guests here at Franklin Music Hall.”
