The Temple for Performing Arts Updated with d&b System

Monday, February 8th, 2010

DES MOINES, IA – The Temple for Performing Arts (TPA), originally built in 1911, fell on hard times. Restoration began in 2002, and the building, recognized by the National Historical Register, now offers three performance areas, all equipped with gear from d b. The three performance spaces include the Grand Hall, the Recital Hall and the Temple Theater.
Like the opulent Grand Hall, the Temple Theater has a seating capacity of about 300 people and a nice natural acoustic, according to Jason Kartak from Audio Logic Systems.

Are We Living in “Groundhog Day?”

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For those of you who watched the Grammy Awards on Sunday night (and apparently there were more of you this year than any year since 2004), you may have had a feeling of déjà vu when you saw virtually the same group of stars that clustered together in 2009, 2008, etc. Does this perhaps remind you — at least a little — of the 1993 film Groundhog Day? You know, like Bill Murray’s character hearing “I Got You Babe” every morning?

Now, if you happen to want to hear the same song at the same time every day, that’s fine with us. But sometimes it’s fun to let the needle find a new groove.
