The park required a similarly robust system for audio distribution, with the ability to direct feeds from various sources to multiple audio zones. We achieved this by using QSC’s Q-Sys Core and Q-Sys-enabled amplifiers, which allow for the routing of audio sources, via the network, directly to specific amp channels. The park’s audio is now subdivided into numerous zones; just within the LandShark Bar & Grill, for example, speakers are separated into four zones — Main Dining, Bar, Fireplace Dining, and Patio. In locations where amplification was already in place, we simply used QSC’s network I/O interfaces to deliver line-level audio to those amplifiers for distribution to speakers.
Margaritaville has a longstanding relationship with Klipsch, a manufacturer of speakers that have become part of the Margaritaville brand. Klipsch speakers are used extensively in all venues throughout the water park. The floating stage next to LandShark Bar & Grill is the lone exception. This unique performance space for live music employs Danley Sound Labs speakers and subwoofers, providing enough power and pristine audio to rock any crowd.
