Terre Haute Casino Resort Opens with 1 SOUND for the Game Floor Bar

The Terre Haute Casino Resort, in Indiana, just celebrated its grand opening with integrated 1 SOUND loudspeakers. NV5, consulting and engineering firm, and American Sound and Electronics Inc. worked together to design and install various audiovisual aspects in the resort. The 56,000 square-foot gaming floor has 1,000 slot machines, 50 table games, poker rooms, and a TwinSpires Sportsbook area. For the central bar on the gaming floor, American Sound installed a 360º, dual-sided, LED video wall above the bar. Both teams together implemented 1 SOUND loudspeakers for this bar where they would expect live music, live sporting event audio, and background music.

For this central bar, two of 1 SOUND’s Contour CT28s were deployed in the ceiling paired with SUB310s. These 3-way, constant directivity, horn-loaded, point sources provided the SPL and energy needed for the space. Two other locations that called for more SPL incorporated Cannon C8s and WSUB45s mounted to ceiling with their dedicated C-Clamp accessories.

“The CT28 speakers served as an ideal match for the space, delivering an uncompressed range of sound. This enabled patrons to engage in fluid conversation without having to compete with the system, while still ensuring energetic music levels were maintained,” explained Greg Martin, Associate Principal, Technology & Acoustics, NV5

“1 SOUND was easy to install and configure. After we applied the FIR presets from the manufacturer into the DSP/AMP, the process for commissioning the system went super quick! Any correction applied was for delay offset between the CT28s and the SUB310s as well as to counteract room anomalies only. Accounting for any box discrepancies wasn’t needed at all. The system sounds great! The other two spaces with the Cannon C8 and wall subwoofer WSUB45 combo sound were just as impressive. Our consultants, colleagues, and most importantly, the customer, were impressed with the fidelity of the performance systems spaces within the casino facility. Clean mixes at higher SPL kicked off the opening day and weekend!” said Daniel Martin, Senior Design Engineer, American Sound and Electronics Inc.
