Choosing and Setting Up Your Commercial Theater Speakers 

Several factors come into play when selecting commercial theater speakers for your performing art center. Though each speaker installation is different, these are the primary ones: 

• Sound Quality: For precise reproduction, look for speakers with a wide frequency range, high sensitivity, and low distortion. For performing art centers, you need speakers that excel at reproducing both soft vocals for theatrical performances and powerful, encompassing sound for concerts. 
• Power & Amplification: Your speakers must be certified for commercial use and handle high powered output from amplifiers. Based on the size of your space, a professional will help you determine your power needs. 
• Acoustic Considerations: Your room size and shape will affect speaker types and the need for acoustic treatments, like panels or diffusers, that could eliminate echoes while bolstering your overall sound. 
• Speaker Types: We will first figure out your ideal speaker configuration based on your space’s size and general uses. That’ll help us determine how many speakers and subwoofers are needed. Aesthetics will then determine whether we use floor-standing, ceiling, pendant or in-wall models. 

Integrating Your Speakers Into Your Distributed AV System 

In a performing art center, commercial theater speakers are just one component of a larger AV system. Alongside the speakers, key audio components include mixers, amplifiers, signal processors, and audio sources, such as microphones or playback devices. A professional knows which components are compatible and will take care of all necessary wiring and programming to bring them together. 

As part of the installation, ease of use is also paramount. A well-designed system with intuitive controls and streamlined operation allows technicians and performers to focus on their craft rather than wrestling with complicated setups. We even integrate control of audio within the same platform you use for lighting and video to streamline your performances.
