User manual ELECTRO-VOICE XLC PANTAGES BROCHURE

[. . . ] Since all three are part of the Telex Pro Audio Group, product teams maintain close contact, engineering and testing products together. This creates a synergy across the brands that, in the case of the Pantages, was a major contributor to making a large, complicated sound system come together without compatibility concerns and on a very tight schedule. X LC LINE ARRAYS PUT EVERY SEAT IN THE HOUSE FRONT ROW CENTER. The Pantages is a small gem of a theater. [. . . ] At the rear of the facility, Electro-Voice X-ArrayTM Xi-1082 speakers are cleverly concealed to provide the under-balcony fill. XLC compact linear arrays open exciting new possibilities for sound system designers and contractors working in venues such as theaters, churches, and nightclubs. When intelligibility and performance are the most important factors governing an installation, linear arrays from Electro-Voice offer a no-compromise solution. They let contractors install front-and-center quality sound in every application. THE INSTALLED SYSTEM DIGITAL INNOVATIONS. THAT'S GOOD TO GO. The Pantages front-of-house system has one capability not often found in fixed installations: It's easy to move. The Pantages is one of three historical theaters in downtown Minneapolis that share staff and equipment. So if the Orpheum Theater three blocks down the street needs the Pantages sound system, everything can be moved in a couple of hours. Portability is one reason why XLC linear arrays were chosen for the Pantages. Not only do they offer they quick, one-person rigging, provide the high SPLs needed to fill the 2600-seat Orpheum. When the Pantages opened in 1916, it was the first theater in Minneapolis to offer air conditioning -- using blocks of ice -- and one of the first anywhere with a second-floor mezzanine. That spirit of innovation is alive today in the signal processing and amplification sections of the Pantages sound system. For equalization, the Pantages systems uses the remarkable new Klark Teknik DN9340 Helix digital equalizer. It combines common EQ functions (such as a 31-band graphic EQ, 12-band parametric EQ, filters, and delays) with "T-DEQ" advanced real-time dynamic controls into a 2RU dual-channel device. Not only does the Helix allow stacking its different processing functions together, it can also talk to the Midas Heritage console to provide an "auto-solo" function. [. . . ] The EV microphone selection at the Pantages starts with its 12-channel, frequency-agile RE-1 wireless mic system, employing six handheld and six bodypack transmitters. For wired mics, Pantages has a full complement of N/DYM Series microphones, including the superb N/D767a vocal mic and the indispensable N/D868 kick drum mic.
