CAL is a self-powered loudspeaker system designed for high performance applications in reverberant environments where a very low architectural profile is desired. CAL systems are uniquely capable of providing extremely high intelligibility with precise coverage.
In 2012, the Memorial Stadium at UC Berkeley installed 40 CAL loudspeakers as part of its two-year, $321 million upgrade project. Acoustical consultants for the project were Dallas-basedWrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc. with installation by Parsons Technologies of Minneapolis, Minn.
SFJAZZ features a Meyer Sound's MINA line array loudspeaker system installed by BBI Engineering. The sound system and acoustics design was handled by SIA Acoustics.
Opened in 2012, Comal has received national press coverage for its pioneering use of Constellation and Libra. The system allows restaurant management to dynamically control the sonic ambience of the space and maintain the desired level of energized "buzz" while still allowing intimate conversations. BugID of San Francisco installed the system, while Abueg Morris Architects was project architect.
