Consultant: Audio Integration Services
Installation: AMT Systems, Inc.

Decription of project

The Peters Auditorium is home to the Beverly Hills High School drama and music programs which have a reputation for presentation quality of staging and performance representing the school’s ties to the entire Los Angeles and Hollywood entertainment community.

The school district hired consultant Audio Integration Services to analyze the existing room environment and acoustics and make recommendations for a new sound system capable of meeting the varied requirements of the music and drama departments of the school, and of community organizations who also utilize the auditorium throughout the year. Initial budgets were approximately 20% high, so AMT Systems created a value-engineered proposal that kept to the performance specifications while meeting the original budget.

The result is a three- channel line array system using the L-Acoustics dv-DOSC cabinets to form a large center line array and ARSC left and right arrays, combined with subwoofers and stage lip front fill, under balcony fill speakers and balcony delay speakers, all powered by L-Acoustics own LA-series power amplifiers. An Allen and Heath M4000-48 mix console provides access to input panels throughout the stage area equipped with Mass connectors for mic and line level snakes reaching all areas of the main stage. The orchestra pit is similarly equipped for microphone, line and monitor level signals. Signal processing and routing is accomplished through Soundweb DSP and Ashly digital equalizers.

Combined with wired and wireless production intercom, moveable effects speakers, an varied collection of microphones and outboard playback and effects processing equipment, the system provides an outstanding sonic enhancement to the excellent musical and dramatic performances.
