The Baby Grand is the smaller of two venues at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. The historic Grand first opened in 1871 and the Baby Grand debuted next to the Grand in September 2000. The 300-seat Baby Grand is an intimate venue, which hosts a variety of different performances and features many small independent musical acts. Its stage stretches 56ft, and has a proscenium arch opening that measures approximately 36ft wide by 17ft high. The Baby Grand and The Grand combine to draw approximately 100,000 people to their shows each year.

The installation team set out to cover the entire Baby Grand with quality sound. They used two i2W8 loudspeakers from Community Professional as stage-rail fill speakers. Two clusters, with two iHP-3594 three-way loudspeakers apiece, were hung on the left and right side of the proscenium to service the main audience area.
