D.A.S. reinforces Inferno: The Fire Spectacular
- Details
Las Vegas-based AG Production Services was contracted by Darrell Clulow, director of technical operations for Caesars Entertainment, to design and deploy the new sound system at the Paris Theatre. Ricky ‘Bongos’ Galecki, project manager and head of audio services, oversees all of the audio design and implementation for AG Production Services.
After consulting with the theatres management staff responsible for show production to determine their requirements, the decision was made to deploy D.A.S. Aero 20A powered, compact line array elements, augmented by LX-118A powered, arrayable powered subwoofers, and Aero 12A powered, two-way, mid-high line array modules.
According to Galecki, “With seating for 1,200 people, the Paris Theatre is a spectacular mid-size room. For a space this size, it was critical that the new sound system provide even coverage throughout the space while delivering crisp, articulate speech intelligibility and natural sounding music reproduction characteristics. We’ve had excellent results with D.A.S. equipment on other installations, so it made sense to deploy the company’s loudspeakers here as well.”
The set-up includes 10 D.A.S. Aero 20A line arrays - flown five elements per side over the right and left edges of the stage area. Each of these loudspeaker clusters is augmented with a single LX-118A powered subwoofer that resides at the top of each hang. Completing the setup is a centre flown loudspeaker cluster that consists of four Aero 12A powered line arrays that serves as the system’s centre-fill.
