Torrence Sound’s Comprehensive Audio Solution for The Huntington Center
Summary: The Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio, a multi-purpose arena with an 8,000-seat capacity, 22 private suites, and party suites, was completed in October 2009, replacing the former Toledo Sports Arena. For its state-of-the-art audio requirements, Torrence Sound of Perrysburg, Ohio, a specialist in sound and video systems, was entrusted with installing comprehensive sound systems throughout the facility. These systems were designed for public address, background and foreground music, and performance reinforcement. Torrence implemented a network audio platform for central control and monitoring, integrating conventional controls with a server-based graphical user interface for enhanced level control, zoning, and routing. The Huntington Center is the home of the Toledo Walleye, an ECHL ice hockey team, and has potential plans to host an NBA Developmental League team.
