Sound Systems
The main loudspeaker system contains a 32-channel Crest console with 8x2x1 subgroups feeding six (6) EAW MQ 1364 house speakers in a left, right, and center channel configuration and two JBL subwoofers with double 18” speakers powered by Crown Macrotec amplifiers and Brooke Sirens processors. The center channel also feeds a time delayed mid house cluster for the upper balcony fills. Additional speaker systems include eight EV stage monitors, a 6-channel 12-speaker Renkus Heinz surround sound system, and four Renkus Heinz speakers covering the Choral Balcony. All speakers are powered by Crown amplification adequate for the facility.
