Behind the Scenes: Delivering Massive Sound for Matt Rife at Laughlin Event Center

When one of the biggest names in comedy hits the stage, every punchline needs to land flawlessly. For Matt Rife’s recent stop on the Stay Golden Tour at the Laughlin Event Center, AV Vegas was on-site to provide full production. Outdoor venues of this scale, complete with sprawling crowds and distant grandstand seating, demand serious audio engineering and technical precision. Our team was ready to ensure every single fan heard every joke loud and clear.

Powering the Stage and Control Center

On stage, the performers need just as much clarity as the audience. For monitors, we deployed JBL M22s. These wedges sound absolutely brilliant on a large stage, cutting through the atmospheric noise with total ease. We also utilized the Shure Axient AD PSM wireless system to give the talent highly reliable, crystal-clear in-ear mixes.

At the control center, our engineers worked on industry-leading consoles to manage the complex mix. Out at Front of House, we ran the show on a DiGiCo Quantum 338, giving us immense processing power and tactile control over the massive system. Over in monitor world, the team relied on an Avid S6L-24C to keep the stage mix perfectly dialed in throughout the high-energy evening.

From the sweeping lighting rigs to the precision audio arrays, pulling off a major outdoor event requires exceptional gear and dedicated expertise. AV Vegas is proud to be the team behind the curtain, ensuring flawless technical execution from load-in to load-out. At the end of the day, our mission is always focused on delivering a premium audience experience.
