The Centene Center Performing Arts Theatre in Farmington, Missouri, stands as a premier multipurpose community venue, offering an exceptional space for a diverse range of events. From concerts, dance performances, and theatrical productions to church services, business seminars, and even wedding ceremonies, this venue has long been a vital hub for live entertainment and community engagement. Given the sheer variety of events hosted at the Centene Center, having a superior sound system that can adapt to different needs while providing clear, dynamic, and evenly distributed audio was of utmost importance. This project allowed us the opportunity to display our expert pro audio solutions and beyond.
Understanding these requirements, TSI Global stepped in to design and install a state-of-the-art Bose sound system that enhances every event held at the theatre. The system is meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, powerful coverage, and user-friendly operation, ensuring an optimal audio experience for both event organizers and audiences alike.
At the core of this cutting-edge installation are two speaker arrays, each featuring six Bose ShowMatch DeltaQ Modules. These advanced speaker modules provide precise coverage and customizable directivity, ensuring that every seat in the theatre benefits from a superior listening experience. To further enhance the uniformity of sound distribution, TSI Global added two additional Bose ShowMatch DeltaQ Modules in a center-hung array. This configuration ensures that sound is evenly dispersed across the entire venue, eliminating dead spots and maintaining consistent audio quality throughout the space.
To complement the full-range sound, TSI Global integrated two Bose RoomMatch RMS218 VLF Subwoofers into the system. These subwoofers are specifically designed to produce deep, resonant bass that enhances live music, theatrical performances, and cinematic presentations. Whether it’s the dramatic crescendo of an orchestral piece, the thundering beats of a rock concert, or the low-frequency effects in a film screening, the subwoofers ensure that every note is felt as much as it is heard.
Driving this high-powered sound system are eight networked Bose PowerMatch PM8500N Amplifiers. These amplifiers offer flexible power distribution and high-efficiency performance, ensuring that the system operates seamlessly while delivering consistent and powerful audio output. The networked design of these amplifiers allows for easy scalability and integration, making the system highly adaptable to future upgrades or modifications.
To maintain optimal sound control and precision tuning, the installation includes a Bose ControlSpace ESP Engineered Sound Processor. This processor enables fine adjustments to match different event types and acoustic needs within the venue. Whether the space is being used for a spoken-word seminar, a musical concert, or a dramatic stage production, the processor ensures that the audio is always tuned for maximum clarity and balance.
A key component of this system’s user-friendly design is the Bose ControlSpace CC-64 programmable networked controller. This intuitive interface provides venue staff and event organizers with easy-to-use controls for adjusting volume levels, selecting sound presets, and managing other system functions. With this technology, non-technical users can operate the system effortlessly, ensuring smooth transitions between events without the need for specialized audio engineering expertise.
The result of TSI Global’s expertise and cutting-edge installation is a fully integrated sound system that enhances the Centene Center Performing Arts Theatre’s ability to host world-class events. The venue now delivers an immersive, high-fidelity audio experience that elevates every performance, speech, and gathering. Whether it’s the soaring vocals of a choir, the delicate dialogue of a theatrical production, or the electrifying energy of a live band, audiences can expect crystal-clear sound that captures every nuance.
Moreover, the combination of powerful technology and seamless usability ensures that event coordinators can efficiently manage the sound system, reducing technical barriers and allowing them to focus on creating unforgettable experiences. With TSI Global’s expertise and Bose’s superior audio solutions, the Centene Center is now equipped to provide an unparalleled auditory experience that meets the highest standards of performance venues.
By investing in this advanced sound system, the Centene Center Performing Arts Theatre has solidified its reputation as a top-tier venue, capable of supporting a broad spectrum of events with exceptional sound quality. Whether hosting local talent, national touring acts, or community gatherings, this upgraded audio infrastructure ensures that every event resonates with clarity, depth, and power, leaving a lasting impact on all who attend.
