LEVITT PAVILION DENVER
from MONDO-DR 32.5
IN BRIEF
Meyer Sound PANTHER marks global install debut at Levitt Pavilion Denver.
The Levitt Pavilion Denver holds the distinction of being the first venue across the world to showcase Meyer Sound’s new PANTHER linear line array loudspeakers after they were installed in May. The system comprises main left and right hangs of eight-each PANTHER loudspeakers, with six narrower “L” pattern cabinets on top and two “W” wide cabinets underneath. Side hangs are eight each LINA very compact linear line array loudspeakers, with three more LINA loudspeakers for centre fill. Deep bass is driven by 12 1100-LFC low frequency control elements, with system drive and optimisation supplied by one GALAXY 816 and two GALAXY 408 Network Platforms. Each PANTHER cabinet connects directly to the GALAXY processor via an AVB network using the Milan protocol. The system was provided by Denver-based Production Services International (PSI), and company owner Alan Hart was on hand to evaluate the new investment. “PANTHER is far better than anything I’ve been able to bring in here before,” he said. “The sound is big and full, and the way the 1100 subs work with the PANTHER arrays is just phenomenal. The sound was strong and clear everywhere until I got to the top of the rise where the noise limit applies, and it quickly dropped off.” System design and tuning was performed by Meyer Sound’s Director of System Optimisation Bob McCarthy and Senior Technical Support Specialist Josh Dorn-Fehrmann. “As a music venue and a community asset, sound mitigation and remaining compliant with our noise ordinances are top priorities. So much of controlling our sound is based on the responsiveness of our PA,” said Andy Thomas, interim Executive Director for Levitt Pavilion Denver. “The Meyer Sound system allows us complete clarity and control of our audio. It allows us to put on a sonically exciting show within the venue while at the same time, controlling the output at the top. PANTHER checks all of the boxes for us and we couldn’t be more excited.”
