Located in the bottom of a lushly green valley, Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, is America’s largest free-admission theme park, with over 60 rides, food, games, and gift shops. Built in 1926, Knoebels was in need of extensive audio upgrades to best serve the thousands of visitors it receives annually. The first step of this process was to replace the park’s aging 70-volt system with a new solution to provide more comprehensive coverage and an open platform, enabling expansion for years to come.
They selected Biamp’s Community E SERIES column-format line source and point source loudspeaker systems. The coverage pattern of E SERIES meant audio power wasn’t being wasted up in the air, allowing for a broad scope with fewer units. The first phase of Knoebels’ upgrade comprised fifty-four Community ENT203 loudspeakers, seventy-four ENT206, eight ENT212, and two R SERIES R.35COAX.
