ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Fla. has upgraded its sound reinforcement system, including the installation of two wirelessly controlled Dolby Lake processors to manage the venue’s new flown multi-zoned L-ACOUSTIC speaker setup. Recently taking to the ice to check out the new audio system were (l-r) Charlie Lawson, audio director, Audio Visual Innovations (AVI); Michael Cooley, sound engineer, St. Pete Times Forum; Dan Palmer, national sales manager, L-ACOUSTIC; and Michael Reeves, sales director, Dolby Laboratories’ Live Sound Group. The Dolby Lake processors provide equalization, delay and other digital processing of the zoned speaker system, which is installed in six high frequency/mid-range arrays with separate low frequency hangs supplemented by down fill speakers suspended below the scoreboard. Tampa-based AVI provided system integration.
The St. Pete Times Forum, which originally opened in 1996, hosts home games for the National Hockey League's Tampa Bay Lightning, winners of the 2004 Stanley Cup, as well as the Tampa Bay Storm, five-time winners of the American Football League’s Arena Bowl. The multipurpose arena is also a regular venue for concerts by music artists and other sports and entertainment events.
