[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 27397, member: 67"] Re: Let's graduate AGAIN! Wow, Jay, that's too bad. Wish you were here to give this a listen. The university Performance Facilities director is very concerned with intelligibility which is why he does not allow use of the installed arena system or any portions thereof. If your schools vendors have been tying in to existing gear I can almost guarantee clarity problems unless they have time & experience to align everything. The city high schools that use this arena don't hire us (it's budget again) and it shows. Last year one high school had Defense Secretary Robert Gates (an alumnus) as speaker and he could not be understood. The rude audience was part of it, but the combination of a small vendor system and use of the delay ring and portions of under-scoreboard system created time issues that undermined any hope of understanding Secretary Gates presentation. I felt bad for him, but for some reason the school staff didn't recognize the problems. This rig rocks, too. The recessional for 3 of the university colleges is the Grand March from Aida (a looping edit). The 4880s provide some visceral impact to the low brass and bass drum that we've not had in the arena until we began providing this system a couple of years ago. Subs on aux, for playback only... Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
