A projected 70-plus million attendees are expected to visit the $61 million, 60,000-square-foot glass-walled pavilion over a six-month period, with musical performances staged in four separate spaces serving as a key draw. The artist roster includes the Philadelphia Orchestra, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Herbie Hancock, among others.
The audio gear, installed and integrated by Electrosonic, includes JBL PRX512M powered monitors, VRX932LAP powered 2-way line arrays and VRX918SP 18" powered subwoofers.
