5 System Design Constraints Meeting SPL governed the project 105dB in the last row Ensure good speech recognition Low ALCONS Speakers make up a vast majority of budget Meet the seating requirement After SPL met, remaining money distributed Based on need and functionality

6 Loudspeaker Selection, Placement, and Rigging First JBL VerTec 4889-DA cluster of ten by stage Second Cluster mounted around 100 feet forward Both are mounted using the JBL VerTec 4889-AF Supported by JBL VerTec 4889-RIG Kits

7 EASE Simulation Results

8 Power Amplifier Requirements and Selection Speakers have built in amplifier Power required at speakers Sensitivity: 99 db LF, 102dB MF, 116 HF LF Power Cluster 1: 10^(42/10)=3162W LF Power Cluster 2: 10^(42/10)=3162W SPL required at Source Cluster 2: log(30)=135 db Cluster 1: log(30)=135 db

9 Signal Processing Requirements and Selection Yamaha PM5D Will function as both the mixer and DSP Reduces equipment cost and volume
