The Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, Chicago is the home of the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and a state of the art sound reinforcement system from EV. And you can even find the site referenced on Wikipedia!
When deciding on the appropriate sound reinforcement loudspeaker for this project, they required a speaker system with a very transparent character for the orchestral programming, and one that also had the power handling and transient response demanded by the other musical presentations. Using the X-Array systems for the main hang and the Xi systems for the distributed portion met both the versatility and fidelity standards demanded by this venue.
The loudspeaker systems installed consist mostly of custom, weather-resistant versions of various EV X-Array models: the Xcn, Xf, Xb, Xcb, Xds and Xi-1123A/106F. These are systems with horn-loaded mids, a highly refined sound quality and high acoustic output ability. Their large-format mid-bass horns maintain directivity control to 800 Hz and below, helpful in keeping sound on the absorptive audience and away from reflective surfaces.
