FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XTA SPEAKER CONTROL IS THE PERFECT
CHOICE FOR
THE NEW RIVER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
— XTA DP202 and DP226 processors are brought in
as the “ultimate speaker processing choice” —
111th AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, November 30, 2001 —
The River Center, a massive three-section new performing arts center
connected with the University of Georgia and slated to open in the Spring
of 2002, will feature complete speaker control and processing using
XTA DP202 and DP226 systems. A total of 21 XTA DP Series systems —
11 DP202 2 X 2 units and 10 DP226 2 X 6 units — will be used as
the main speaker processing systems for all of the speaker systems in
each of the new River Center’s three separate component buildings.
The use of the XTA DP Series systems, brought in to replace the matched
control systems of the speakers, further underscores the high degree
of compatibility, flexibility and reliability that have defined the
XTA processing systems for years.
The River Center is made up of three distinct performance
spaces: a main stage theater, a smaller recital hall, and a unique experimental
theater hall designed without proscenium or other traditional theater
elements. Each of the three areas has its own specific audio characteristics
to which the sound system needed to be adapted and optimized.
“You could easily say that the DP202 and DP226 are
the ultimate speaker processing choice in this and many other installations,”
observes Anthony Nittoli, Senior Design Consultant of Electro-Acoustics
for Jaffe Holden Acoustics, Inc., the Norwalk, Connecticut-based firm
which created the sound system design for the entire River Center complex.
“We chose the DP Series systems as the front-end processing device
for all of the speakers in all of the theaters throughout the complex.
This was a decision based on quality, flexibility, price, ease of use,
and reliability. Only the XTA DP Series systems met our criteria, and
were the only ones we believe exceeded the performance of the speaker
manufacturer’s own controller, yet offered complete compatibility
with the speakers. That’s why we have specified XTA DP Series
controllers on various projects we have in progress — there just
isn’t a better choice to be made when it comes to speaker processing
and control.”
