I thought maybe some of you audio buffs would like to see the sound specs of a theater where I work as a volunteer for about five shows a month. Pretty impressive I think!
A. SOUND REINFORCEMENT
The House Sound Console is located on the House Right side of the auditorium in an open box, immediately in front of the Mezzanine. Most of the audio system hardware, amplifiers, etc. are in an audio equipment room located behind the Mezzanine. Audio and intercom lines terminate with XLR-3 connectors and video with BNC connectors.
B. SIGNAL ROUTING/CONSOLES
The Sound System is configured with BSS Soundweb which provides distribution of signals to House Right, House Left speaker arrays, House Center cluster, and delayed 4 1/2" ceiling speakers distributed in all Balcony and under-balcony areas. House program also feeds desired Lobby, Front of House, and selected backstage areas. A Stage Manager Audio Routing Panel routes Show Mic, Board Mix, Aux Program, and Paging to twelve (12) backstage zones.
An automatic mixer (8x1) is provided for talk-back (VOG) communication from control booths to House Center Cluster and the stage.
Distributed 4 1/2" speakers are mounted in the vertical lip of the stage and provide front fill. A portable JBL Custom shop system is also available for front fill.
