ERM Stage

FOH Mixer

The Joseph Anzalone Theater. This is the cleanest it's been in years. Just after the strike from SING 2000	The House. 1,049 capacity.
The facing of the stage had to be replaced. Revealed, we see the cement block construction. Would we love to put a pit there!
Click on Booth for the sound booth. I've shown TWO different setups here. On the house left side I have the speakers setup in a line. On the house right side, I've moved the mid speaker to the wall and the rear fill speaker a bit closer to the stage. The system would be run on a left-center-right scheme. This is a simple ground plan of the seating area. The number of rows is estimated. The orchestra is most often located at the base of the DSR steps in front of the house left seating area. The rear seating areas are rarely sold. The theater entrance is below the booth. Pic points can be located almost anywhere as the ceiling is fully accessible.

The person above the ceiling is standing on a catwalk in the cove. The proscenium opening height is 14'8". The person on stage is standing at the edge of the apron. This also shows both examples of speaker setup. The speaker furthest to the right (covering the rear balcony) and the next one to it's left are both for the balcony. The one further is angled up a bit to cover the same area.

As you can see via the key at the bottom of the drawing, the triangles are for passive speakers. The five sided polygons represent speakers that have an amplifier in, or located near, them. All of the passive speakers are hung from the ceiling. The powered speakers are at the stage. Two will be sub-woofers located under the stage. Two more will be for stage monitors so that the performers can hear both themselves and the orchestra. The last bunch will be 10 small speakers at the edge of the stage. These will be pointed towards the audience to act as fill for those sitting in the front rows. (The speakers hanging will send sound over these folks.) The red lines running from the booth represent speaker wires. The three sets of speakers near the stage will each get two pairs of wires. One for the bigger speaker (low frequencies) and the other for the smaller, high frequency horn speaker. The cable we'll use for these will have two pairs (four wires) inside. The other speakers will all have a single pair running to them. We'll use the speaker's crossover for these.
Sound Wiring We have two empty conduits running from the booth to the stage area. One is 1" and the other is 3/4". According to the conduit capacity sheet at Belden Cable's site, the 1" can hold 24 runs and the 3/4" can hold 14 runs of single pair mic cables. The map on the right shows the runs. The 1" runs from the booth to the middle of the catwalk. Then it splits to the left & right of the stage. The 3/4" runs to the backstage right wall. It used to have signal lines to the former stage manager's station back stage. I'm thinking about running all the mic cables in the 1" with XLR ends. The lines in the 3/4" may end with 1/4" jacks. Using these for both instrument sends and stage monitor returns.	.
