Petal High School Installs RCF Line Array in Performing Arts Center

Christian Wissmuller • Supplier Scene • July 26, 2018

Petal High School in Mississippi recently upgraded its high school performing arts center with a RCF Line Array.

For audio-visual needs, the district relies on C&M Music, a local retailer with stores serving the Mississippi/Louisiana region. The district maintains a confidence in the support from C&M, as they also provide the majority of their band and music department supplies. As an arm of C&M Music, Hattiesburg store manager Brian McLelland operates MAX MultiMedia Solutions providing installation solutions and support further strengthening the relationship.

When called in to analyze the 600-seat auditorium, and in discussions with the school district, it was decided a line array system would be the best solution. With projection screens on either side of the stage, McLelland had to find a solution that would provide a small footprint inside the proscenium so as not to impede sight lines or impact theatrical sets.

After discussion with a few people familiar with the RCF brand, the HDL10-A active dual 8” two-way line array system with selection. The system is designed in such a way that McLelland was able to add an active 15” subwoofer as part of the array for full frequency response.

“RCF documentation made EASE modelling simple,” notes McLelland, “and conversations with the RCF engineering team gave us complete confidence in the choice.” As an integrator, McLelland goes on to comment on the ease of installation based on RCF’s hardware and cabinet design and ability to shape the array configuration. The end result – “The clarity is great, and we have plenty of headroom,” says McLelland.
