    New Sound System: Advice/Recommendations/Rough Price Ranges

    I don't have access to the original design documents as far as I know (or the designer), so all I can say is it seems to have been designed with live performances like dramas/plays and acoustic bands (esp. bluegrass and country). Maybe "acoustically treated" isn't quite the right term (I'm a...

    New Sound System: Advice/Recommendations/Rough Price Ranges

    Hi all. I work for a community college in Western North Carolina as a computer technician. My job responsibilities also require me to operate, maintain, purchase/upgrade, etc., the A/V equipment in our small-medium size main auditorium (seats ~850, 1,001 max with temporary seating) and our...
