Sound System Description

1. Speaker systems The sound system in the Boston University Theatre features House Left and right speakers on the proscenium to cover the orchestra and mezzanine, and on the light bridge for the balcony. Center speakers to cover all 3 areas, and delayed fill speakers cover under the balcony overhang. There are two dual 15” subwoofers in a quasi-permanent location, and there are 4 single 18” subwoofers available for additional low end. There are 12 wide dispersion speakers for side and rear surrounds, and there are a variety of available speakers for onstage use. All speakers are EAW with the exception of some small speakers available for onstage practicals or front fills. Processing for crossovers and system tuning are provided through EAW UX8800 processors for the mains and delays and fixed subs, dbx Drive Rack for the moveable subs, and the LCS Matrix for the surrounds.

2. Main Control System: The system is based around a Level Control Systems’ (LCS) Matrix-3

system featuring 32 analog outputs, 16 analog inputs. A Cue Console system provides faders, transport, and editing controls. The entire system is networkable through a dedicated Ethernet infrastructure. An Ethernet line can be set up for the Designer to move soundfiles into the playback system if desired. Playback is accomplished through SFX 6 or LCS Wild Tracks hard disk playback systems.

3. Microphones: there is a small inventory of microphones. More information is supplied in the

complete list below. We have 3 Shure UHF-R Wireless systems for 6 channels of wireless Lavalier mic’s, with a variety of Sennheiser MKE-2, Countryman B3, E6 elements.

4. Mix Position: The Sound Run Position is in the back of the orchestra seating area, just house right of

the center right aisle. This puts the Mix Engineer in the seats that need the most reinforcement on shows where a live mix is necessary.
