A demonstration presented by Quest Marketing, has resulted in the Fuquay-Varina Performing Arts Center in North Carolina choosing Fulcrum Acoustic CX and DX series loudspeakers for its new sound system. ‘The new system provides remarkable clarity and fidelity,’ says theatre Technical Director, Dave Wright,. ‘The extended frequency response and seat-to-seat consistency gave me a great canvas to work with.’ The entire project was completed within one month of the demo.’
Provision AVS managing owner John Linden deployed two DX1595 Dual 15-inch Coaxial Loudspeakers for the main left and right coverage in the 294-seat venue. The coaxial transducer coupled with the traditional low-frequency transducer in the DX15 supplied the full frequency range Linden was looking for coming from the sides.
‘We liked how big and full it sounded,’ he says. ‘The coverage of the DX15s fit really well in the room. The DX15s, coupled with the CS Subwoofer, provided solid, extended bass for concerts and musical theatre.’
Linden flew a CCX1295 Coaxial Cardioid Loudspeaker in the centre above the stage, with a CX896 flown directly underneath the CCX12 and aimed down to provide down fill to the first few rows.
A single CS121 Subcardioid Subwoofer was also flown behind the CCX and CX loudspeakers in the centre of the stage. The centre CCX12 and CS121 Subwoofer incorporate Fulcrum Acoustic’s Passive Cardioid Technology, which reduces rear low frequency radiation that otherwise floods the stage, resulting in feedback and degrading clarity for the audience.
‘The new Fulcrum system provides remarkable clarity and fidelity,’ says Wright. ‘The extended frequency response and seat-to-seat consistency gave me a great canvas to work with. I’m confident I could hand this system to any touring engineer and they would have everything they need.
