Follow on Google News | YMCA Gala Relies on AmpliVox Portable Sound SystemsAmpliVox equipment fills cavernous event venue with crystal-clear sound to support charity auction.
By: AmpliVox Sound Systems As a Northbrook-based company, AmpliVox has deep roots in the community and has supported the Y for many years. AmpliVox has provided a wide assortment of sound equipment to fit the Y's needs, from megaphones for sports and swimming events to portable systems and lecterns for programs. The Strong Kids Dinner raises particular challenges due to the size of the venue and the volubility of the audience. "Intelligible sound is absolutely crucial to the success of this event," notes Don Roth, CEO of AmpliVox and a past YMCA board member. "The Y needs everyone to be able to hear well in order to participate in the auction and engage in the other fundraising activities. There's a great deal of background noise to overcome and a lot of space to cover." AmpliVox came through for the Y with a sound design plan that met the challenges of the noisy space. AmpliVox technicians laid out connected coverage zones that included powerful, unobtrusive units in strategic locations. The plan used SW915 Digital Audio Travel Partner systems, augmented by S1297 Wireless Powered Dual Speakers and SC800 Titan Wireless Powered Companion Speakers. Additional speakers carried sound to separate rooms, including the silent auction gallery and the crowded bar area. Presenters spoke from an AmpliVox SN3500 wood and acrylic lectern on the stage, and used wireless AmpliVox microphones to move freely and interact with the audience. In execution, the AmpliVox equipment exceeded expectations. Audience members in all areas of the room participated enthusiastically in the event's auctions, games, and raffles, raising over $225,000 to make Y programs available to families in financial need. "We are always happy support groups like the YMCA, who do such important work in our community," noted Roth. "It's exciting to see a challenge like this and know that we have the equipment to deliver great results. With the right planning, portable sound systems can enhance virtually any venue."
