DLB Brings Stormy Spectacle to Nashville’s New Venue, Category 10


On November 1st, downtown Nashville introduced Category 10, a groundbreaking venue that’s quickly become a hotspot for immersive entertainment. The highlight of this unique space is the “Hurricane Project,” a daring and atmospheric installation designed to capture the fierce energy of a hurricane.

At the heart of the installation is DLB’s advanced Kinetic Bar technology. These specially designed, retractable bars simulate cascading rain with synchronized lighting effects, creating a visually powerful downpour that evokes the intensity of a storm. In an innovative twist, DLB’s Kinetic Bars respond to music, seamlessly synchronizing with the beat and tempo to create pulsing rain patterns and light shifts that draw guests into the stormy atmosphere. The bars can rise and fall in harmony with the music, producing an ever-changing ambiance that makes guests feel as if they’re dancing within the eye of a hurricane.

This synergy between music and lighting allows for an unforgettable experience. As the storm intensifies or softens with each beat, the dynamic lighting and synchronized movement transport guests, making them feel as though they are elegantly moving within the swirling chaos of a hurricane.

The Hurricane Project not only showcases the versatility of DLB’s Kinetic Bar technology but also illustrates the company’s dedication to creating immersive, interactive environments that captivate and transform. By blending lighting artistry with cutting-edge kinetic effects, DLB has set a new standard in experiential design, establishing Category 10 as a must-visit venue in Nashville’s entertainment scene.
