Production Stories |
Hillcrest Jewish Center-Audio restoration Before and after photos of a Synagogue that I did audio work for. It was a fun project as I was restoring an old system and also because they were very nice people. The audio system for this client included a ballroom attached to the Sanctuary with a collapsible wooden wall between, an upper and lower balcony section, and the lobby. It had seen 20 yrs of wear and [literally] tear and, as usual, they have no budget. Restoration included repairing ceiling and wall cable runs, replacing torn speakers, re hanging the mains in the Sanctuary to fulfill their very objective, and drawing them an instruction booklet that showed then the optimal settings and how to achieve the multiple configurations they desired. I was able to complete the job for them under their budget constraints without having to cut my rates or sell them junk. Everybody was happy! This is the Sanctuary, before
This is the Sanctuary, after
Mains, before........and.........Mains, after
Mains were originally nailed to the decorative wall spine to the left of the main (above left). I needed to turn them out and slightly down to achieve the objectives. The stabilizing panel is Poplar-distressed and painted to match the wall. The hanger/hinge gave it form and function. A wire safety hides behind. The cover was a gratis finishing touch I added to say thanks to Temple members Steven and Ruth Rosenhaus who referred the bid opportunity to me. |
