“Overture Hall is a beautiful room and it sounds great, but it was never designed with future upgrades in mind,” he notes.
Keeping all those requirements in balance was Clearwing’s Mik Moore. Given the wide variety of events, our goal was to design and install a system capable of supporting all the acts’ needs, to provide perfect coverage and user experience, and to create whatever infrastructure is needed to save on labor time and costs.” “In addition, we host numerous concerts, children’s school shows, and various community events.

Such was definitely the case with Clearwing System Integration’s recent audio system retrofit of more than 100 L-Acoustics loudspeakers at the 2,255-seat Overture Hall, the largest of seven performing arts venues and five galleries that together make up Madison, Wisconsin’s Overture Center for the Arts.īuilt in 2004 with a $204 million donation from the creator of the American Girl doll line, Overture has grown to become the largest performing venue in the state and, according to Pollstar, one of the top venues in terms of ticket sales worldwide. For performance venues, success can be a double-edged sword if the space is constantly booked, carving out time to update technology can present a challenge.
