Preliminary rigging for NEC's Jordan Hall

01/12/2015

We designed and have installed the first phase of rigging for three permanently installed Fulcrum Acoustic AH65 speakers in New England Conservatory’s historic Jordan Hall. The image below shows the electric chain hoist in position above the hole in the proscenium arch. The hole has a temporary cosmetic cover over it until the speakers are installed in March. As this is a historic concert hall, putting a large slot in the ceiling was extremely demanding.

The new steel support beam had to be threaded through a lot of old steel and a Servoreeler installation.
