📣 Big news! 📣
After being empty for ten years, the CityStage building is now home to the HOPE Center for the Arts, and we had the pleasure of installing stage lighting and a full 350-degree array of A Series L-Acoustics L-ISA Hyperreal Immersive speakers that deliver a consistent mix to every seat in the house.
😉 (If you want the tech details, scroll down…)
HOPE center is the ✨first✨ L-ISA venue install with 360-degree surrounds in New England, and it’s not just for seasoned performers (although Judy Collins, Blind Boys of Alabama, and Sweet Honey in the Rock have all graced the HOPE stage).
The center’s non-profit mission is focused on arts education for local youth, with afterschool programs that introduce kids to theater, music, technical arts, creative writing, and visual arts in a $15 million arts complex with 2 theaters, rehearsal rooms, dance studios, and media labs. We’re so excited to be a part of it!
Here are the details of our speaker install:
🔊 5x A Series Scene arrays
🔊 4x KS21i subs
🔊 26x coaxial X6i
🔊 LA7.16i and LA2Xi amplified controllers
🔊 L-ISA Processor II
🔊 Plus A10i out-fill arrays
🔊 …aaaaand a Yamaha DM7 console
We’re one of the only L’Acoustics Certified Providers in the area.
