three phase, and cam-lock connections.” The next decision that needed to be made was the choice of audio equipment. Titus called upon a company he had worked with before on previous projects, Miami based Beachsound, headed up by owner Andre Serafini. There were a number of possibilities for the audio system. Andre and his Project Manager, Paolo Mangones, presented all the options to Titus, and after consideration he opted for a sound system from Adamson. Titus said: “Jesse Adamson (Adamson’s Director of Marketing and Sales) came down to Miami, met with us and took a look at the venue. After seeing the place he offered to fly one of his systems over so we could hear it for ourselves. Once the Adamson rig arrived, combined with the expertise of Ewan McDonald, Adamson’s Applications Engineer, we were utterly blown away! “The Metrix rig was compact, yet had a full huge sound that maintained crystal clear fidelity at exceptionally high SPLs. I
absolutely fell in love with the footprint / rigging cohesive coverage and incredible sound.” Ewan described how his Adamson design for the final PA system at Grand Central was the right choice for this application. He said: “There were a couple of deciding factors. The first being that the Metrix line array system is small enough to be unobtrusive but has exceptionally power handling capability. The PA system at Grand Central needed to be able to handle extreme SPLs as Miami clubs like it loud. Other compact line array systems simply can’t handle the SPLs while remaining distortion free. The Kevlar driver is the key component here. The other deciding factor was the T21 sub. We used a combination of T21 and Metrix Subs, but the T21 can provide that earth shaking bottom end that other subs simply can’t keep up with.” The system consists of a stereo Metrix line array system, with each array consisting of four Metrix and one Metrix W (wide angle
