Hamilton AV Design designed new audio, video, and lighting systems to replace the original system for the Boyne City High School Auditorium which was installed more than twenty years ago. Hamilton AV Design selected Fulcrum Acoustic loudspeakers to deliver high fidelity audio for performances. Tim Hamilton from Hamilton AV Design selected two arrays of seven FL283T Dual 8″ Subcardioid Line Array Modules from Fulcrum Acoustic for the main loudspeakers. Division 16 installed the line arrays on both sides of the stage to provide uniform coverage throughout the auditorium without visual interference. “The FL283T delivers the consistent coverage and ‘in‐your‐face’ sound without the need for delay speakers,” says Hamilton. “This was essential to the project as the administrators did not want loudspeakers to interfere with the lighting or distract from the stage.” Fulcrum Acoustic’s low profile CS218L Dual 18″ Subcardioid Subwoofers were installed sideways to minimize the visual impact. “I’m happy Fulcrum Acoustic incorporated their Passive Cardioid technology into their low profile subwoofers,” says Hamilton. “It was a good fit for this project.” The FL283Ts and CS218L subwoofers both incorporate Fulcrum Acoustic’s patented Passive Cardioid Technology to reduce rear low frequency radiation from the enclosure.
