Sound System

Kal Tire Place features a state of the art sound system designed and installed by PJS Systems Inc. No facility of comparable size in the Pacific Northwest has the audio quality and performance Kal Tire Place can offer.

Kal Tire Place

The heart of the sound is found in the audio closet located in the Media Booth. Powered by a rack of ten Crest Power Amplifiers, users can be assured that they will have the flexibility to ensure their needs are met. The amplifiers drive eleven Community R2 Loudspeakers covering the seating area, two Community R1 Loudspeakers and Community R2 Loudspeakers covering the ice/floor surface, and the entrance/foyer speakers encircling the rink. The R2 speakers provide unparalleled vocal and music clarity. As a consequence of the delay sequencing and system control, audio coverage is even, clear and undistorted to levels in excess of 100db, with minimal overlap and echoing. Regardless of the users needs for in house sound, they can be assured it will be one less thing to worry about.

A Peavey X-Frame, the systems digital processor, one function of which provides the delay sequencing allowing the maximization of the system, controls the sound system. The user can input cassette or compact disc through existing Denon cassette and compact disc players or bring their own sources which can be patched in through the Allen & Heath XONE 464 mixing board also located in the Media booth. Additionally, the facility features 360 Systems’ Instant Replay System, which places instant access to an entire audio library of your own creation, whether it be music, sound effects, or spoken word, at your disposal. This feature also has audio editing tools, so it’s easy to isolate sound effects, or make continuous loops.
