Hollywood's iconic venue, The Viper Room, intensifies its sound system with dBTechnologies equipment.

The iconic Viper Room on Sunset Strip has recently undergone a significant upgrade, replacing its sound system with dBTechnologies VIO C12 2-way active line-source loudspeakers. This change has been met with widespread acclaim, with performing artists, front-of-house engineers, and fans in the audience all praising the phenomenal sound quality.

General Manager Tommy Black for The Viper Room has commented on the ease of use and reliability of the new system, stating that it's a winning combination for the venue. The unique acoustics of the Viper Room were addressed during the installation by contouring the response of each individual VIO C12 box using dBTechnologies Aurora Net software.

The result of fine-tuning the EQ and amplification power settings on each loudspeaker was a seamless sound field with no boominess or harsh reflections. This consistency and great sound have helped alleviate concerns about the sound system during high-pressure performances, allowing the venue to continue hosting a diverse range of acts.

Over the years, The Viper Room has been graced by the presence of A-list acts such as the Jonas Brothers, the Kid Laroi, Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day, OTTTO and Bastardane, as well as musical legends like Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Weezer, Maroon 5, Iggy Pop, and Sheryl Crow.

The Viper Room's reputation as the go-to venue on the Sunset Strip for intimate performances by established acts and record label and talent agency showcases for the best new talent has been further solidified with the upgrade to the VIO C12 system.

Professional audio engineer Don Bish, known for his successful use of dBTechnologies VIO C12 speakers in live music events and installations, suggested the VIO C12s after his positive experiences with them at outdoor festivals. Tommy Black also praised dBTechnologies for their customer service, which played a deciding role in the upgrade.

Managers and agencies frequently ask to spotlight their artists at the Viper Room due to its great sound provided by the dBTechnologies VIO C12 system. The Viper Room remains loyal to the dBTechnologies brand, believing that their recent upgrade has further secured their status as one of the best sounding rooms on the West Coast.

The installation of the VIO C12s at The Viper Room was seamless, resulting in improved sound quality that has been enjoyed by both the artists and the audience. With its consistent, great sound, The Viper Room continues to set the standard for intimate live music experiences on the Sunset Strip, nearly 30 years after its opening.
