USA - The city of Niagara Falls stands adjacent to its famous namesake and is home to 50,000 residents. The city is rich in history, culture, outdoor life, shopping, and adventure, featuring hundreds of attractions and things to do year-round. It’s also home to 5 Day Productions.
5 Day Productions is an AV integrator in western New York that focuses on providing clients with purpose-built, high-performance audiovisual solutions. Led by CEO Nathan Gambino, 5 Day Productions has been involved in several installations in and around Niagara Falls, including Niagara Community Church, Sēvā Kitchen and Bar, and Niagara Falls High School.
Gambino regularly recommends LEA Professional’s Connect Series amplifiers to meet various AV requirements, from high intelligibility to ease of use to built-in DSP. The Connect Series of two-, four-, and eight-channel amplifiers are the most full-featured in the industry, making them the best choice for a variety of venues.
“Most amplifiers nowadays, you're looking at almost the same exact price,” said Gambino. “But then LEA adds in DSP capabilities, a control system [WebUI], and remote connectivity [LEA Cloud], essentially all for free. Those are a huge benefit and a lot of the reason LEA is pretty much the only amplifier I'm installing these days.”
Minutes away from the famed Niagara Falls lies Niagara Community Church. The church was established in 1981 and is home to a small but thriving congregation of approximately 100 members. The high-peaked sanctuary ceiling and other hard surfaces resulted in low speech intelligibility, making it difficult for churchgoers to understand the worship service as the congregation grew. As part of a new audio system, amplifiers from LEA Professional were installed in the church to improve intelligibility and enhance worship experiences for the congregation.
The audio system comprised two DAS Audio Quantum Series Q-43-T mains with two accompanying delay speakers. A compact Q-8 subwoofer rounded out the sanctuary system, while a series of 70-volt ceiling speakers were installed in the lobby and other rooms.
Gambino installed Connect Series 354 amplifiers to power the system. One amplifier powered the mains and delay speakers, while Gambino doubled the output on one channel on a second amplifier to power the subwoofer. He used the remaining channels to power the 70-volt ceiling speakers.
The Cadence is a stylish and modern hotel in Niagara Falls, Sēvā Kitchen and Bar is the culinary heart of the hotel. The previously installed amplifier wasn’t meeting the restaurant’s needs, so they turned to amplifiers from LEA Professional.
Gambino installed the Connect Series 354 to power the system. Two channels drive the low-impedance main speakers, while a third channel powers a subwoofer. The fourth channel powers 70-volt outdoor speakers covering the patio dining area. A Connect Series Touch handles the source selection, volume adjustments, and mute status for the indoor and outdoor areas. The controller is PoE-powered for easy installation and allows for group control of source, volume, and mute.
Niagara Falls High School, the sole high school within city limits, was looking to replace the gymnasium’s sound system due to degrading performance, and wanted to improve ease of use, so they turned to LEA Professional.
Gambino successfully installed the Connect Series 354 to power the system and provide the necessary DSP. Each channel drives a low-impedance speaker hung from the high ceiling. The integrated DSP effectively eliminated the need for unnecessary equipment in the rack, ensuring the overall job cost was kept to a minimum.
