Direct Pro Audio has recently completed a sound system at the Kaneko Bow Truss Room.
In 2007, Omaha philanthropist Dick Holland agreed to support the transformation of the truck garage at 1111 Jones Street in Omaha Nebraska into the Bow Truss Room. The Bow Truss Room is a flexible use space for various public events - concerts, art displays, lectures, and others. The internal steel girders, called bow trusses, rest on the exterior walls which support the curved roof leaving the interior space free from any columns or interior walls so the 9,200 square foot space is entirely free from obstruction.
In May 2008, nearly 500 people attended the first public use of this space, a lecture by internationally renowned National Geographic World Explorer Wade Davis. Since then the space has been used for many public programs, conferences, meetings, and performances related to creativity.
In 2010, guided by design from Threshold Acoustics of Chicago, Illinois, Direct Pro Audio installed a system consisting of four Renkus-Heinz PN series active loudspeakers. Each speaker is equipped with onboard RHAON software and amplification. Input wall jacks on each side of the room allow a production company to plug in their equipment and have seamless audio coverage for the entire room.
The project was completed on time and within budget.
