RCF Powers Jelly Roll’s Six-Story Goodnight Nashville Venue

Goodnight Nashville is anything but ordinary. The six-story mass timber venue—launched by breakout country artist Jelly Roll—pushes the boundaries of modern entertainment architecture. Designed without structural steel, the building presented significant acoustic challenges that required precision, adaptability, and a rock-solid AV framework.

That’s where RCF and TT+ Audio came in.

Integration firm JAG Warner Productions, led by president Jake Warner, engineered a scalable and zoned audio solution centered around RCF’s consistent voicing and system-wide flexibility.

“The entire venue is designed for maximum flexibility,” says Warner. “With preset recall and Dante Domain Manager, they can deploy live bands, DJs or streamed content anywhere in the building—or in any of their other locations nationwide.”

The venue’s second-floor nightclub space is anchored by a TT+ Audio GTX 10 line array system, installed with three separate rigging positions and paired with a modular stage for fast reconfiguration. Amplification and DSP are managed by RCF XPS 16K amplifiers, with a Q-SYS platform providing system routing and control. Low-frequency extension is handled by GTS 29 subwoofers. Throughout the venue, more than 35 COMPACT M 08 loudspeakers ensure clear, consistent coverage in lounges, staircases, and upper balconies. 

Groundfloor stage features HDL 30-A line array and GTS 29 subwoofers. On the rooftop DJ deck, RCF COMPACT C 32 WP weatherproof speakers—originally developed based on Warner’s request—deliver reliable, high-output sound for outdoor use. RCF NX stage monitors and other RCF speakers are shared between stages.

Tying it all together is a 1,100-channel Dante® infrastructure, managed with Dante Domain Manager, allowing seamless content routing, zone recall, and full system control across four floors—and even to sister venues in other cities. From reflective wood to concrete floors and strict aesthetic constraints, Goodnight Nashville is a benchmark example of using RCF’s precision engineering to solve real-world integration challenges.
