Theater Systems

Integrated Audio Systems Theater Sound Systems begin with our on site acoustics measurements to determine optimum loudspeaker selection and location.  While on site our designers meet with client representatives to determine functional requirements and acceptable performance parameters for the new system.  Upon returning to our office we utilize three dimensional computer aided room modeling to assure the optimum loudspeakers can be chosen for the acoustics of the space.  Our designs utilize Ray Tracing and Early Reflection models, Sound pressure level calculations for direct and reverberant field conditions over a seven-octave range, Gain before feedback and Articulation Loss of Consonants (ALCons).  Complete documentation, system tuning, and operations classes and on site warranty are provided.

The unique requirements of theater sound systems include the requirement for high quality speech intelligibility, source orientation across the stage area, stereo capability in Left, Center, Right configuration.  Full range, wide bandwidth speakers capable of moderate to high sound pressure levels are also important for this type of application.  Sources generally involve multiple wireless microphones, orchestra pit instrument inputs, downstage microphone inputs, overhead recording microphone inputs and cassette, CD or broadcast cart inputs. Monitor speakers and in-ear-monitors are normally used for all actors in lead roles.  System outputs are often matrix mixed to different seating zones, based on the requirement of the mix.
