“In fact, I was told that Steven Tyler said from the stage that the room sounds amazing.” “After the fantastic success of the opening Aerosmith concert, the owners were immediately confident they had a world-class system,” continues Starck. It really takes the sound to another level. We probably could have done the whole system with LYON, but the extra headroom of LEO gives that in-your-face sound with zero distortion. “They wanted to fully support ‘A-level’ acts without bringing in rental systems, and we were confident from the beginning that a LEO-based system would handle anything they would throw at it. “The owners asked us for a sound system that would compete with the best venues in the area, including those in nearby Dallas,” says David Starck of Coherent Design. LEO Family loudspeakers were chosen for the 3,000-capacity venue by the Las Vegas-based consulting firm Coherent Design, which was charged with design and specification. Everyone has been thrilled with the performance of the system.” “What impresses me most is that we can get full, in-your-face concert sound and still stay within our preferred level limit, which we cap at 100 dB. “Listening to LEO is really like listening to a very high quality stereo system, with that level of imaging and detail,” reports Doug Ebey, audio–video manager for the theatre. Since opening with a sellout show by Aerosmith, the Grand Theater has hosted acts such as Kiss, Kid Rock, Boyz II Men, and Kenny Rogers. Aiming to become a regional destination for concert entertainment as well as gaming, Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma has opened the Grand Theater, a multi-purpose venue featuring one of the largest Meyer Sound LEO Family line array system installations in North America.
