array of Audio and Video equipment to help deliver your performance or message more effectively. Please view our equipment and specifications below:

Remarkably one of the most versatile and impressive sound systems compared to venue size in Atlanta, GA! The first feature you may notice when powering on the system with our simple one touch control is the ability to have a theatre L.C.R. (Left, Center, Right) configuration or 5.1 surround sound all at the touch of a button through the BSS London Blue 10 control interface.

Not only is the sound & video equipment at Red Clay Theatre & Arts Center set-up for the most demanding theater group, the system may be switched to allow for impressive surround sound during movies when the Vu-Tec 10 foot high by 16 foot wide movie screen is lowered into place by the wireless control system.

Digital Projection’s TitanHD 5000 Lumen D.L.P. Projector delivers the stunning images for movies shown on screen and for business presentations. When in movie mode DVD control and surround sound processing is by Denon.

At the heart of the system is the Soundcraft MH2 48 Channel Audio Console – Accompanied by a Pro-Co CATALYST digital audio snake delivering 24 channels from a Cat-5 stage box and 6 channels of overhead microphones with two additional inputs located stage right.
