Audio Capabilities The sound system at the Spokane Arena is a high powered, computer controlled voice and music system capable of multiple pre-programmed system configurations.

The system can be programmed for hockey, basketball, trade shows, concerts, emergencies, or any other uses, and the saved configurations can be recalled at any time. The system is driven by Community RS880 speakers in the Arena bowl, and are accompanied by Altec Lansing satellite speakers for coverage of the upper seating areas. The concourse, dressing rooms, and backstage hallways are covered with Bose speakers throughout and the whole system is powered by Crown Amplifiers. This has proven to be an outstanding combination for sound reinforcement needs in the Spokane Arena.

The Spokane Arena is equipped with an Allen & Heath GL 4000 audio console in the main control room that can also be utilized as a front of house or monitor console. The Arena also has two BIAMP Columbia 32 channel consoles, eight Community CSX 57 front of house speakers that can combine with the Community RS 880 Arena system, 6 EV FM1202 monitor wedges, EV 1202 side fill speakers, and various outboard gear and microphones to help your event sound great!

Audio, video, theatrical lights, Cyberlights, house lights, and message centers are operated from the A/V Control room located above seating section 122.

This system has proven to be very versatile and is one of the best Arena sound systems around!

Video Capabilities The Spokane Arena Video System features a state-of-the-art Viacom Sports 12mm LED Display. It demonstrates exceptional color reproduction and the best off-angle viewing available for any LED format. The modular display is 15' x 20' and may be separated into two working units. The display may be moved forward approximately 100' and down to approximately 20' off the arena floor.
