Fire eaters, hula dancers, and South Pacific singers and performers on the main stage of the new venue are reinforced by a HiQnet system featuring 16 JBL Professional VRX line arrays configured in a circle above the stage, eight JBL Control 29 loudspeakers, 16 JBL Control 25 loudspeakers, and four self-powered JBL VP Series subwoofers. Three dbx 4800 processors are on the system along with AKG wireless microphones.
Harry Witz, general manager of Clair ShowCo Chicago designed and implemented the system. "With all the components on one system architect, HiQnet, I'm able to walk around with my laptop, dial in any zone and get the whole thing adjusted in one fell swoop," said Witz. "It all matches and works with each other."
