D.A.S. Audio reinforces Daily’s Place
- Details
Florida Sound Engineering Co, also of Jacksonville, FL, provides AV design, installation, and service of commercial audio and video systems for churches, theatres, ballrooms, stadiums, and other facilities. The company was contracted to install the new sound reinforcement system at Daily’s Place. Neil Cooper, senior project manager, handles system design and engineering, sales, project management, and serves as a technician for Florida Sound Engineering. He discussed the project and his experience with D.A.S. loudspeakers.
“The sound reinforcement setup at Daily’s Place is a large distributed system,” Cooper explained. “We used a combination of 24 D.A.S. Artec 315.96 2-way, passive enclosures along with HQ-218CX high power sub bass enclosures. The Artec loudspeakers are spaced evenly throughout the area and are mounted to the facility’s structural supports at a height of about 80 feet. Similarly, the HQ series subwoofers are evenly spread out around the area and mounted up high as well. For the actual loudspeaker positioning, we had custom mounting brackets made to affix the loudspeakers to the main roof support beams of the flex field facility.”
When asked about those D.A.S. loudspeaker attributes that made them so well suited to this project, Cooper offered the following thoughts. “The loudspeakers were actually chosen by our client,” he reports. “Once we had them installed and tuned, I was very impressed. Both speech intelligibility and music reproduction characteristics are very good and natural sounding. Frequency response from the system is very even and, from a construction standpoint, the D.A.S. equipment is very solid and well made. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with the outcome of this system.”
