Alcatraz, The Rock,
San Francisco (415)705-1042
Everyone knows Alcatraz. It is now part of the Golden Gate National
Recreation Area of the National Park Service. Tours everyday, hours vary
according to season. Spectacular views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Great Park rangers. Averages 2000-4000 visitors a day.
The rangers said they wanted a voice system that didn't sound like a
tin can and had enough level to cut through boats & helicopters. They
also said they wanted a quality sound system as most of their visitors are
used to hearing good audio. A Community R.5 really did the job. It justs
sounds so clear and natural. The system still suprises me how good it sounds
every time I hear it. Community R.5, Carver PM600 power, Rane DMS22 Mic
Pre, Monster AC power conditioner.

Very nice small theater
with Community SLS 920's as
stereo mains. Community SBS22's are "flown" under the stage from
rubber isolators. Community MVP28's are used as stage monitors. Each loudspeaker
has its own amp channel, QSC CX1102's for mains and subs and a QSC ISA750
for monitors. Each amp has its own 20 amp circuit, run off a Furman ASD120
distro-sequencer. There are two mixers: a Rane MLM82A for using the system
locally, and a Mackie 1604VLZPRO for larger productions. We installed a
28 pair snake and many custom
outlets and patch panels, all from Rapco. The mics are Shure and Crown,
CD and cassettes are Tascam. Monitor eq's are from Rane and system control
is a Community DSC52, which does all eq, limiting, delay and crossovers.
The system sounds wonderful. This school is very lucky to have Rich Bice
as their musical director. He was the head of Palto Alto Jazz Records and
leader & trumpeter of the Full Faith & Credit big band. A really
neat guy! see Application Note
We recently upgraded the Music Room there, too. A pair of Bose 802's
had never sounded very good until the addition of a QSC CX502 with the nifty
QSC DSP-3 plug-in module (eight bands of parametric eq per channel). A few
minutes with the laptop and that system never sounded this good!

a high quality voice system
with good intelligibilty and projection. Using a single Community SLS920
it was easy. Other equipment includes a Rane DMS22 dual mic pre (very cool),
Shure UC wireless and a Crown CL1 power amplifier. It sounds great!
