1. INTRODUCTION New Milford High School is in the process of upgrading its theater. Phase 1 of the project was the replacement of the main speakers to line arrays that were installed left and right of the proscenium. The next phase of the project will continue to fit the space with new speakers for audio improvements, as well as update connections to network connectivity and video capabilities. New Milford Public Schools (the “District”) is looking for the following: ● Data Drops — The venue requires data connection network drops at various locations around the stage to be able to plug in portable audio and video equipment wherever needed. Amount and locations to be decided on site visit. These cat6 cables must run from the booth to the stage. Currently, we have CAT6 cable that is being run through the catwalk and down the house wall, but we would like that cleaned up so it is not seen. We need all data drops that can then connect back to the booth for video/audio feeds in a clean, efficient way. ● Presentation Control System — The venue requires a simple user interface(s) for power sequencing and basic operation. These are of primary interest so the venue’s basic functions for meetings (microphones, lights, projector, etc.) can be run without the need of a technician in the booth. We would like 2 Shure microphones to work separately from our current sound system. We are also looking to update our presentation connection; the HDMI hookup we currently have often fails. We are interested in having that fixed (and replaced to the stage facade) as well as having a Bluetooth receiver so that presentations and music can easily be streamed to the projector and sound system, in addition to having an HDMI input as a backup. ● Backstage Audio Monitors (2)— The backstage areas (stage right and stage left) require audio monitors that will allow people offstage in the wings to hear what is happening on stage. The speaker brand we are using in the house is JBL. ● Portable Audio Monitors (4)— We are looking for at least four new portable audio monitors and cables that can be used as needed to hook into Allen and Heath Stageboxes that can then be connected to our soundboard through a Cat6 cable. The speaker brand we are using in the house is JBL.
