Meyer Sound's Panther has provided a futureproof audio system for ‘The Theatre’ at Toronto’s Great Canadian Casino Resort.
Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto is Canada’s newest and largest casino resort. In May 2024, the casino celebrated its Official Grand Opening Weekend with back-to-back concerts featuring Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, unveiling the first Meyer Sound Panther large-format linear line array loudspeaker system permanently installed in Canada.
Located 10 minutes from Pearson International Airport, The Theatre will serve up a wide range of performances and entertainment experiences including fights, live music, and comedy to feed the demand of locals and visitors alike.
In all, the main hangs are comprised of eight Panther-L loudspeakers and four Panther-W loudspeakers. Low frequency support is provided by 22 Meyer Sound 900-LFC compact low-frequency control elements — six flown beside, and five flown slightly behind the mains on each side. Coverage for the balcony is handled by two arrays of 12 Leopard loudspeakers hung from the high steel above the FOH mixing position. Other Meyer elements include Ultra-X20 compact wide coverage loudspeakers as stage lip fills and under-balcony support, UPQ full-size loudspeakers as out-fills for the main hangs, and Ultra-X40 compact loudspeakers for loge areas. For fight nights, six UPQ-D3s are hung in a circle in the center of the room, where a boxing ring or octagon would be placed to provide 360-degree coverage and localize announcements from the ring.
