Background/Discussion
The sound system at the Mid-America Center was twenty years old and several repairs were necessary. The main controller for the system was no longer working and in need of replacement. Without the permanent building system controller, the built-in speakers for the building could not be utilized without the risk of damage. Since there was no sound controller, a complete sound system was being rented for each event. The temporary systems were installed and removed each time they were needed.
The project included the replacement of the non-functioning sound system controller with a new controller for both the arena and the convention center, program software to operate the system, and additional components needed to integrate the new controllers into the system. This has provided independent operation of the convention center and arena portions of the building and provides redundancy in the system to allow the system to be operated from either the convention center side or the arena side in the event of a component failure.
