Shuffield Music Company, in collaboration with their sister company AV Arkadelphia, recently completed an audio upgrade that brings Technomad’s renowned clarity and rugged reliability to Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. The project centered on replacing an aging system with two Technomad Berlin loudspeakers, delivering the power and pristine sound quality the venue commands.
Upgraded Components for a Modern System
The installation involved far more than simply swapping speakers. The team:
-
Upgraded and re-routed existing wiring, ensuring a clean signal path and long-term durability.
-
Added a Bluetooth receiver with a 30-meter reception range, providing easy wireless connectivity for music playback and announcements.
-
Re-tuned and balanced the system to achieve optimal coverage and performance for the room.
Comprehensive Signal Chain
The Berlin loudspeakers are the heart of the system, but they’re supported by professional-grade gear throughout the signal chain:
-
PowerChilton Amplifier for robust, dependable power.
-
PowerChilton Breakout Box for flexible signal distribution.
-
Sennheiser EW 500-935 wireless handheld microphone system for clear, reliable vocals.
-
Belden cabling and Neutrik connectors, ensuring top-tier reliability and audio fidelity.
Built to Last
As with every Technomad installation, durability was a key factor. Berlin loudspeakers are fully weatherproof and engineered to deliver years of consistent, high-output performance—indoors or out—without compromising sound quality.
The Result
The upgraded system provides a powerful, full-range soundscape ready for live performances, announcements, and background music alike. Visitors immediately notice the difference: clearer highs, solid low-end response, and seamless wireless control.
