In Reply to: School Gymnaisum: Speaker, amps, etc... posted by NaftaliG on January 1, 2005 at 19:05:27:
I now feel very dumb, I am a senior in high-school and spent this past summer working for a commercial sound installation company. I did a number of jobs installing systems in auditoriums, churches, and other large rooms.I will repost my question in the coming weeks when I get a better idea from the administration of budget and necessary equipment; and yes I will bring dimensions.
Thanks,

Unfortunately a large percentage of commercial sound system installation companies don't have professionally trained audio/acoustical engineers on staff who know how to design a system that actually sounds good. If the customer is MacDonalds or the like and all that's desired is background music it matters little, but if fidelity is the goal then just slapping up some speakers and running some wire is not going to do. The largest part of the job is often acoustic correction, especially in gymnasiums and other large public rooms, most of which should be right at the top of the list of how not to build a room for good sound reproduction. Second on that list is the average nightclub. Ask any roadie.
Your knowledge is always soothing, any sources for me to read about acoustic correction for gymnasiums and the like.

If you don't do an acoustical analysis of the room and your design, expect the possibility of having a lot of trial and error.

I'd head over to the tweaks section and see if anyone there has advise on that. Perhaps Jon Risch. He's really into basstraps and such.
