HOUSE SOUND SYSTEM
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ENTIRE INVENTORY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PRODUCTION. PLEASE CONFIRM INVENTORY WITH THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT.
Overview
The system consists of EAW Left/Right stacks and Center Cluster, with delayed fills for stage lip, box seats, under mezzanine, under balcony, and over balcony, plus lobby and backstage feeds. All of this can be configured via the house patch bay to be fed from one line or individual lines. Basic speaker management and processing is done with XTA DP226 and DP202 units, located in the control room along with the patch bay, Aphex limiters, Oxmoor distribution amps, and Crest amplifiers. House mixing is done from the 12’x 8’ mix position in about the center of the orchestra level seating or in the enclosed sound control booth behind orchestra level seating. RiverCenter for the Performing Arts asks that all performances adhere to a maximium SPL level of 96dB A at mix position . Variances from this policy can be obtained by prior approval of the Technical Director. Regardless of SPL measurement we would ask that all performances be responsive to the reactions of our patrons and staff , and conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the type of performance taking place.
If you have any questions about audio, you can email the audio department at audio@rivercenter.org.
