PCE Integrations
The California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE) prides themselves on their state-of-the-art facilities. Working in such a pristine, impressive venue is a true privilege, and in 2023 PCE was honored to sell and install a brand new Yamaha Rivage PM5 audio console in the Center's main auditorium.
The Yamaha Rivage PM5 will serve CCAE for countless years to come. Audio engineers (whether in-house or touring) will have no trouble picking up on the console's intuitive controls, and there's nothing this robust workhorse can't handle. The PM5 provides 323 input channels. Three touch screens can be split up between multiple engineers, or used by one operator. Each bay has 12 faders and can manipulate any part of the system. This console will make the audio experience at CCAE delightful for engineers, performers, and guests alike.
In 2023, PCE helped San Clemente Presbyterian Church completely overhaul their entire audio system. The project included many components, chief among them replacing the church's point source speakers with brand new L-Acoustics line array speakers. Point source speakers deliver audio in a single direction, while line array speakers help distribute audio evenly throughout a large area. This gives everyone at San Clemente Presbyterian Church a uniform, satisfying, crystal-clear audio experience.
In addition to the speakers, PCE also conducted a general rewiring, complete with a new audio rack. To tie everything together, PCE ran the new system through a digital Allen & Heath audio console.
For many years, Fullerton College used incandescent house lighting at its Campus Theatre (the mainstage performance space of the entire college). While this system worked for many years, it came with its share of headaches. Namely, the incandescent bulbs needed constant attention. Lights would burn out, and replacing them was an expensive, high-touch process.
To update this system, Fullerton College enlisted PCE. We replaced the incandescent bulbs with Canto USA Retro-Passive fixtures. These LED lights fit into the existing dimmer system, but gave Fullerton College a much more reliable, lower-maintenance lighting system that will last for decades.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is integration?
Sometimes, you know you need to make new lighting, audio, video, or other equipment a permanent part of your facility, but you don't have the time or technical knowledge to identify and install these elements yourself. If you want to buy new gear and get professional help installing it, you can use PCE to help choose and then install your new equipment into your existing space. This is what we mean when we use the term "integration."
What integration expertise does PCE offer?
PCE has a seasoned team of experts on everything related to production: lighting, audio, video, staging, rigging, power, networking, and more. Our technology experts understand the market and can help identify and purchase the perfect equipment for your venue (often at a discounted rate). From there, our team can remove your old system (if needed), deliver the new one, install it, and train you on its use.
What kind of integrations does PCE perform?
PCE performs countless integration projects every year. Integrations range from the small (a new TV system at a sports bar) to the large (an immersive walkthrough experience at a museum) and everything in between. Some other common integration types include installing a new sound system in a house of worship, integrating an audio or lighting console in a theater, putting in new lights at a restaurant, etc.
