AVR and Sennheiser Chosen by Xavier College for Presentation ”Fiddler on the Roof"PHOENIX – December 1, 2010: Nearly 10 years ago, the Xavier College Preparatory high school invested in a brand new, 1,000-seat auditorium for its frequent musical productions, assemblies, concerts and fundraisers. Since the beginning, the all-female Catholic high school has relied on Sennheiser for the auditorium’s wireless audio infrastructure.

The school originally installed 24 channels of Sennheiser’s ew 100 series wireless transmitters andreceivers. More recently, and in light of the 700 MHz spectrum reallocation mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Xavier took advantage of Sennheiser’s attractive rebate offers and upgraded its entire wireless audio infrastruc-ture to Sennheiser’s evolution wireless G3 series.

Since then, Xavier has installed 32 channels of Sennheiser’s evolution wireless G3 systems, 12 of which were provided by Chris Henley of Phoenix-based Audio Video Resources. The installation was completed just in time for the school to present its rendi-tion of the classic musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” which included a 16-piece professional orchestra. Impressively, Xavier students operated the entire production, including front of house, stage direction, acting and everything in between. 

In addition to a dozen channels of Sennheiser ew 300 G3 microphone units, Audio Video Resources also recommended that Xavier acquire 12 SKM 300-835 G3 handheld transmitters as well as three active splitter kits (G3 DIR KIT 8). The splitter kits enabled Xavier to combine and split its antenna system, which allowed the racks to be stored in a dedicated machine room above the theatre rather than the main production area.
