The Orange PeeL

The Orange Peel Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a very popular destination for indie bands as well as mainstream acts in Asheville, North Carolina has permanently installed an Adamson Y18 Line Source Array system.

The venue, which holds 942 people is relatively problem free, straight-forward, and sized for “intimate” shows. No side or down fills were needed - 4 Y18’s were flown per side.

Since the install, acts such as Jurassic 5, Bob Dylan, Ben Harper, The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire have graced the Orange Peel stage. Dan Cochran, the house FOH engineer commented: “People are always glad to come back and play here because they love the rig” and added: “It’s a great sounding rig that takes a lot of punishment when needed and still delivers for all types of performances.”

The Adamson Y18’s came highly recommended by Simon Fraser from Kingston Audio in New Orleans who also did the design for the venue. The final decision on Adamson was made based on power and price. This was the first permanent Install at The Orange Peel: “And I can tell you, I was here during the install and everyone has been impressed with the rig since it came off the truck!” Dan Cochran concluded.
