ARCS® loudspeakers providing enhanced front-/side-fill coverage for legendary venue

NEW YORK CITY – December 2007 — Long revered as one of the Big Apple’s most renowned live performance venues, Radio City Music Hall offers its visitors the opportunity to enjoy a wide cross section of musical extravaganzas, including the world-famous Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring The Rockettes, which this year celebrates its milestone 75th anniversary.

As one can imagine, complex productions like the Christmas Spectacular require that intelligible, uniform audio be not only delivered to the audience, of course, but to the dozens of dancers gracefully executing their choreographed moves across the Great Stage. With this in mind, Radio City Music Hall’s production crew and owner, Madison Square Garden Entertainment, chose to ultimately update the on-stage monitoring system with a dozen L-ACOUSTICS ARCS® front- and side-fill cabinets supplied by Clair Brothers Systems. more
