Buffalo RiverWorks is a 60,000-square-foot multipurpose venue that brings big-time events—ranging from hockey tournaments to roller derby to the Music Is Art festival—to 5,000 fans in Upstate New York. To bring even bigger sound to those events, now-Philadelphia-based Buffalo Pro Audio Group installed a new L-Acoustics K3 sound reinforcement system this past December. The audio equipment was purchased through Las Vegas-based L-Acoustics Certified Provider 3G Productions, which also provided design services.
“K3 is the perfect solution for our music venue,” said Marc Vitagliano, Buffalo RiverWorks’ general manager and entertainment director, who adds that the venue has had experience with L-Acoustics sound systems since it was expanded in 2016, with concert and event promoters like MNM Presents and After Dark Entertainment renting a Kara II system locally. As the number of concerts steadily increased over the next several years, Vitagliano says it became clear that it was worth investing in a house-owned sound system. Based on the venue’s experience and comments from visiting tour-sound professionals, as well as advice from Buffalo Pro Audio Group and 3G Productions, L-Acoustics was the clear choice.
