Global Audio Systems of NY, NY was the AV design-build firm contracted to handle the installation of the D.A.S. Audio SoundForce loudspeaker system at WildPitch Music Hall, with local support from Platinum Sound Atlanta. Owner Jason Ojeda, ultimately installed a system consisting of several prominent models from the SoundForce Series line. He discussed the project and his reasons for choosing D.A.S. Audio.
"The room at WildPitch is rather long and narrow, so to provide efficient coverage, we went with two flown SF-20A cabinets per side, which couple together in a short throw line array configuration," Ojeda explained. "We also wanted to ensure patrons were engulfed in clean stereo sound, so we placed two SF-10 enclosures - positioned left and right - on the opposite side of the room to serve as a back-fill / delay setup.
"To make certain we had enough LF support for the preferred music format, we deployed two SF-30A powered subwoofers, ground stacked left and right of the main dance floor. With its 30-inch high density polyethylene cone and supporting technology, this sub performs well at low volumes in addition to normal, or full volume. This way, the bass can be felt down the street."
Rounding out the club's new SoundForce setup, the Global Audio Systems team also positioned an SF-10A enclosure in the centre of room and one SF-1521A subwoofer along the right side in the room's mid-point. Ojeda used two SF-10A enclosures (flown one each per the left - right sides) plus a D.A.S. Audio Vantec 18A powered subwoofer (positioned on the floor) for the DJ booth. Signal processing tasks are handled by a D.A.S. DSP-4080 stereo / mono processor for the main system and the DJ booth along with a DSP-226 stereo / mono processor for the fills.
The completed sound system was first placed into service in October 2016 for an event featuring DJ / Music Producer Riva Starr. Since that time, the new sound system has been generating accolades from all who encounter it.
