THE RADY SHELL
from MONDO-DR 32.2
IN BRIEF
Vast Optocore Network Powers The Rady Shell, San Diego
Optocore North America has provided an extensive fibre optic audio network for The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, San Diego. Solotech supplied and integrated all the audio in the 10,000cap venue, under the watchful eye of Business Development Manager and Senior Engineer, Aaron Beck. 2GB Optocore networks – capable of up to 1,024 channels and 24 network nodes – were implemented. The facility has two Optocore rings running in parallel – one for the DiGiCo consoles and their SD racks at the stage inputs, and the other for Optocore units that carry the PA inputs and distribution. At the heart of each system is an Optocore AutoRouter that actively monitors each fibre connection. “The system sounds fantastic,” Beck reported. “Keeping everything at 96K was a must from the system design. The use of fibre optic cabling between buildings also helped overcome the large distances as the site is very spread out.”
