Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort Hits the Jackpot with EAW Adaptive Speaker System

Oaklawn Racing Casino in Hot Springs, Arkansas

When officials at Oaklawn Racing Casino greenlighted a multi-phased expansion project, one of the big ticket items they wanted to add to the resort was a versatile event space that could host conferences, concerts, and more. As the vision came to fruition, the recently opened 15,000-sq.-ft. event center features the latest in state-of-the-art technology, including an ADAPTive PA system comprising 20 Anna loudspeakers and 12 Otto subwoofers from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW). In addition, EAW monitors and side-fills were also employed on the project.

The task of equipping the 1,500-seat venue with the latest in AV technology, including a 1,900-sq.-ft. stage with a large video wall, was given to full-service AV integration firm TMG Systems. Designed by Jerrold Stevens of Marsh/PMK International LLC, this is the second project TMG Systems has worked on with Stevens in which EAW ADAPTive was the chosen solution.

"The system was configured as a left/right hang with eight Anna units and six Otto subs per side, complete with a four-box center cluster for downfill," says Mark LaBouff, national sales manager, TMG Systems. "The ability of the EAW ADAPTive line to be really targeted in the vertical domain was particularly important in this application, along with the ability to set numerous presets to provide optimal coverage when the room is set up in different configurations for various types of events."

In the new event space tuning was seamless, using EAW's Resolution software along with additional reference resources. For LaBouff and his team, the system's ease of use and simple set up, coupled with its outstanding sound-quality were the standout features of the ADAPTive system.
