Overseeing the design and installation was Elton Halley who, having assessed the room's audio requirements and unique architectural design, including beams nearly 2 feet thick and 74 ft. long, opted for a system based around a centre cluster of five M2D compact curvilinear array loudspeakers, flown using QuickFly rigging hardware. Halley filled out the system with two USW-1P compact subwoofers and an LD-3 compensating line driver.
The building's intricate craftsmanship and its place on the National Register of Historic Places made implementation of the sound system somewhat challenging. Halley, who has worked extensively on Broadway, comments, "I wanted to supply a system that would be really good for the theatre. They were not only investing in a new sound system; they were investing in me."
