The 468-seat theatre now benefits from twin horizontal arrays each comprised of two ARCS enclosures flown above the left and right sides of the stage accompanied by a single dV-SUB enclosure per side down on the deck. L-Acoustics LA Series amplifiers power each of the loudspeakers.
According to Michael J Graphix, production manager and technical director for Kanbar Hall, "We've wanted to upgrade our system since we opened in 2004. We present many European and Israeli performing artists, and L-Acoustics equipment is usually their first request on the tech riders."
In addition to the new ARCS/dV-SUB system, Kanbar Hall has also utilised L-Acoustics' 112XT monitors and LA Series amplification with great success--and compliments from performing artists--since the venue's second year of operation.
Recent guests to use the room's new system have included Phoebe Snow, Michael Feinstein, Bebe Neuwirth, John Sebastian and David Grisman, Alberto Mizrahi, Ricky Jay, Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel, Knesiat Hasechel (Israel's Church of Reason), and the Klezmer Conservatory Band.
