1.01 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
  1. Sound Reinforcement System
    1. System for amplifying and controlling live sound using microphones connected to input jacks on the state and surrounding areas or by wireless microphones.
    2. System uses a central loudspeaker cluster for coverage of the main floor of the auditorium with delayed loudspeakers for coverage of the rear seating areas.
    3. System uses a 40-channel mixing console for control of input sources and processing equipment for equilization and signal control.
    4. System has electro-acoustically equalization controlled by digital signal processing units.
  2. Sound Playback System:
    1. System incorporates playback of pre-recorded music and other source material on cassette, CD or other user supplied sources through central loudspeaker cluster or through stereo loudspeaker clusters located on either side of the stage proscenium.
    2. System uses same 40-channel mixing console used above for control of input sources, uses dedicated processing equipment for equalization and signal control.
    3. System incorporates recording capability for production of cassette or DAT tapes of performances.
  3. Stage Monitor System
    1. System provides feeds sound from the sound reinforcement and playback systems to portable loudspeakers connected to jacks located on the stage for monitoring by performers.
  4. Monitor System
    1. System uses dedicated a directional microphone located in the lighting beam position (catwalk) for pick-up of sound occurring on-stage. System feeds loudspeakers located in the lobby, corridors, greenroom, dressing rooms and other support spaces.
  5. Assistive Listening System:
    1. The sound system incorporates a FM assistive listening system to provide feed to personal receivers for audience members with hearing difficulties. This system is feed from the monitor system.
  6. Theatical Intercom System:
    1. A party-line style intercom system is available for communication between the technical staff during show set-up and operation. This covers the lighting and sound booths, catwalks, follow spotlight position, riggin lock rail, stage manager's and house manager's postions, director's stations, greenroom, choir room, dressing rooms and ticket booth.
