Scope of Work Contractor shall provide a system that is left/right/sub/front fill/under balcony fill for the theater. The system shall utilize existing 'points' for flown deployment and must fit in the designated area without any alterations to historic areas of the theater. Speaker arrays shall be hung "permanently" with steel-braided cables and shackles, not hanging from motors. Motors will be left in place for maintenance needs. Front fills and ground subwoofers may be recessed in pit face as it is not an original, historic structure within the theater.
