Drexelbrook's 15000sq.ft Corporate Events Centre, opened in 2000, is the largest facility of its kind in the region, and offers state-of-the-art audio and video systems including an elaborate distributed sound system using Community CLOUD6 ceiling speakers.
Brian Latocha of Aston, PA-based Toner Sound reports: "The old system was underpowered to begin with, and with the room's 25ft ceilings, it had been pushed to its limits for years, and was showing signs of age. We installed a distributed system of 60 CLOUD6 loudspeakers, powered by three Crown CTS-Series amps, and the new system can easily reach up to 95 or 100 dB for larger corporate events." Lectrosonics DSP covers room combining tasks.
"The biggest challenge was scheduling the job around Drexelbrook's packed events calendar," says Latocha. "Community gives you everything you need for a smooth install, right in the box. We completed the entire project in three days."
"The new audio system enhances our impressive list of amenities we offer to our corporate, association and private markets," remarks Drexelbrook CEO and general manager Domenick Savino. "The sound clarity is quite noticeable, and the first clients to use the system offered many positive comments. Simply having them ask 'Did you get a new sound system?' in itself justifies the investment. And Toner Sound did a great job installing the system."
