San Diego, CA - December 05, 2006
In the first field use of JBL Professional's new VerTec DP Series
compact powered line arrays, A/V rental company Meeting Services
provided technical production and A/V requirements for the 26th Annual
ESRI International User Conference at the San Diego Convention Center.
Systems used for the general assembly
conference, and opening and closing sessions included VT4887ADP-AN
loudspeakers and VT4881ADP-AN subwoofers. "When the client is a
technology-based organization and the audience comprises savvy, working
professionals, the bar for audio quality is raised significantly," says
Ken Freeman, technical sales manager for meeting services. "JBL's new
compact VerTec DP Series systems gave us a significant edge here."
A center array of four compact VT4887ADP
speakers with optional DPAN networked input modules was suspended
inline with the center axis of the room's seating area to handle
primary vocal reinforcement duties. A wireless link to an Ethernet
network switch positioned at the overhead speaker truss effected
remote-control and monitoring capabilities using Harman Professional's
System Architect software via the HiQnet system. Additional supporting
VT4888 mid-size arrays supported music playback.
"Being able to position this much
high-fidelity horsepower in a very compact array package has
significant benefits," Freeman adds. "Show planners want the sound
system to just disappear, while the tech guys are seeking consistent
high-resolution audio for every seat in the house. The JBL VT4887ADP
compact powered array elements let us reach both goals in this
application."
The ESRI Conference also featured the first deployment at a corporate presentation event of JBL's new VP (Venue
Performance) Series. VP7212/95DP two-way systems were used as utility
fill speakers to cover forward seating areas.
