Adamson At The Center Of Audio Upgrade At KFC Yum! Center In Louisville

Performance Audio of Salt Lake City deploys new arena-wide system utilizing IS10 line arrays, IS119 subwoofers as well as IS10p and IS7p point sound loudspeakers.

Originally opened in 2010 for the University of Louisville basketball teams, the 22,090-seat KFC Yum! Center arena recently updated its its extensive house sound reinforcement system headed up by Adamson IS Series loudspeakers in a project directed and managed by Salt Lake City-based Performance Audio.

Specifically, the new system incorporates 52 IS10 line array cabinets, 24 IS119 subwoofers, a dozen IS7p and four IS10p point source cabinets. “They look little but sound so much bigger than they are,” says Kendall Bowman, audio-visual engineer for Performance Audio. “The way they go together, the install boxes, everything was effortless to put together.”

“Adamson once again delivers big results while achieving the aesthetic and performance goals in the arena renovation,” adds Doug Woosley, a programming consultant of Sound Ideas, which provided locally-based support for the upgrade. “The IS10 allowed us to reach the necessary price point without compromising the quality of system.”

The arena last hosted the NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional in 2016 and 2019 and the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship in 2014. Going forward, the University of Louisville will host the 2023 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Regional and the KFC Yum! Center will host the Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship in 2024.

“The upgrades are part of a much larger capital improvement plan to allow the KFC Yum! Center to maintain the physical amenities that make us one of the best arenas in the nation,” says KFC Yum! Center general manager Eric Granger.
