Audio and Lighting Installations by WHB

Together or separately, WHB’s Bill Blaine and John Coretto have designed and installed scores of industry-leading audio and lighting systems. Here are three examples of what they’ve done:

Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, Hampton Beach, NH

Added to the casino in 1927, the Casino Ballroom continually draws some of the top names in entertainment. In order to sustain its reputation as one of the best venues in which to play and hear live music, the 2,200-seat ballroom received a major redesign of its audio and lighting systems, including the addition of a new loudspeaker system based on Meyer Sound's MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker. Audio industry veteran Bill Blaine and his company, WHB, handled the installation that comprises the following:

• Two arrays of eight MICA cabinets
• A pair of MSL-4 horn-loaded long-throw loudspeakers
• Six 700-HP ultrahigh-power subwoofers
• Ten MJF-212 high-power stage monitors
• A 600-HP compact high-power subwoofer
• A pair of CQ-2 narrow coverage main loudspeakers
• A Galileo loudspeaker management system that provides system processing and drive
• RMS remote monitoring system installed on a Windows-based computer at the FOH position
