Sound
Audio plays the most crucial role in any performance or production. Our workers ensure that the audio is not only of the highest quality during the live performance, but in post-production as well. At our Junior High facilities, students work off both a Yamaha M7CL-48, and a Midas M-32. Our 2 line arrays employ 8 of JBL's award-winning VRX900 Series line array speakers with 2 JBL VRX918sp 18” flying subwoofers. Filling out our sound design, we have 10 active and passive 15” wedge monitors for professional quality audio to both the audience and performers on stage. Our CNS facility features a DiGiCo SD-10 console with an L-Acoustics Kiva II line array system employing 8 L-Acoustics subwoofers and 5 front fill speakers. This system employs state of the art audio, comparable to a broadway-level production.
Incorporating the industry leading audio networking technology, Dante by Audinate, our team is able to record up to 64 channels of audio, capturing every aspect of the show. Our team records to an iMac Pro using Fender Studio Pro to make spot-on audio tracks.
Our sound crew goes far beyond the basics of audio mixing. Workers spend five years learning about advanced audio concepts that are used by professionals, including proper gain structure, eq, compression, phase, reverb, frequencies and microphone pickup patterns.
Each member of our crew is constantly learning new concepts and developing skills that are used to ensure the next show sounds great for both the live performance and post production. As any good sound mixer knows, you can have the best equipment out there, but if you don’t know how to use it, it is useless. We combine clever design with the knowledge to get the job done right.
