elmore theatre audio/video system refresh
Savannah State University
Savannah State College in Savannah, Georgia partnered with S&L Integrated to modernize the Elmore Theatre through a comprehensive audiovisual and theatrical lighting refresh. The space is used for teaching theatrical classes as well as live presentations and events, so the upgrade needed to support both instruction and performance. Key goals included improving speech clarity, enhancing visual performance, and simplifying system operation for staff and presenters. S&L designed and installed a fully integrated audio, video, lighting, and control solution tailored to the theatre environment.
The challenge
The existing system lacked the flexibility and performance needed for current event demands, classroom instruction, and hybrid workflows. Outdated technology limited both in-room experience and streaming capabilities, while control complexity created operational challenges.
-
Inconsistent audio clarity throughout the theatre.
-
Limited video quality and outdated projection system.
-
No integrated streaming or recording capability.
-
Complicated controls for non-technical users.
-
Existing infrastructure limited future expansion.
