Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, in Fairfax, Virginia, USA, is a majestic natural setting for over 75+ performances across all genres every summer. At the heart of the Wolf Trap is the Filene Center, a visually stunning 7,000+ seat venue for musical and theatrical performances. Solotech helped mark the 50th anniversary of the venue’s existence with an audiovisual technology update.

Musicians come from far and wide to play at Wolf Trap, including the renowned National Symphony Orchestra. This made the stakes particularly high when the team considered technology updates for this outstanding outdoor space. Achieving the highest quality sound coupled with seamless equipment installation were top priorities. In addition to selecting and installing an updated audio system, the team delivered a new back-of-house communications and paging system, as well as audio solutions for the venue’s adjacent green rooms and dressing rooms spaces.

“The Wolf Trap Foundation wanted an updated PA system that better met the needs of modern performance. Wolf Trap is a very unique performance space. Audience members could be sitting in anything from lawn seats to the balcony,” explains Kelly Prince, Chief Technology Officer at Solotech. “We collaborated with the Wolf Trap team to come up with a solution that includes a New Meyer Sound Lyon System with Spacemap Go Capability’s under the roof, so that concert goers could have great, clear sound no matter where they’re sitting.”

Meow Wolf is a renowned American arts and entertainment company headquartered in the United States. Their portfolio includes large-scale immersive art installations, streaming content, music videos, and arts and music festivals. As a trusted partner, Solotech supplies high-quality audio, lighting, truss, and install solutions for Meow Wolf’s creative projects.

Our audiovisual experts delivered a turnkey solution for Meow Wolf’s first commercial application, Omega Mart, an interactive art experience located in Las Vegas. This mind-bending experience allows participants to explore an extraordinary supermarket bursting into surreal worlds and unexpected landscapes.

“The client’s content is far from ordinary, so we knew that the audiovisual solutions we proposed had to support and heighten the experience,” explains Kelly Prince, senior Vice-President at Solotech. “From very early on in the project, we worked closely with their creative teams to determine which equipment configurations would work best to bring their artistic vision to life.”

Whether for video and show control, lighting, projections, or immersive, multiple-track audio, the team quickly understood that the equipment required to support this type of immersive commercial experience needed to be highly robust. The team proposed standardized parts from trusted partners, equipment they knew would not only withstand the crowds, but also withstand the test of time.

Liberty University was racing the clock. With football season fast approaching, construction teams were scrambling to complete a stadium renovation, including an upgrade of their broadcast capabilities.
The fact that no supplier could get them the cables they needed didn’t help.
Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech company, stepped in, manufacturing broadcast cables specifically for the project. They then installed those cables, even as the football season got underway. This required our team to work more dynamically, ensuring the system was always operational on gameday.
In the end, neither the season nor the other renovations were interrupted. And Liberty scored big with their broadcasts.

Gateway Church is all about people – 40,000 of them at their main Southlake campus alone.

They needed a way to unite these people with parishioners at five other locations throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, live and in the moment.

The team at Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech company, designed and built a comprehensive system of sound, advanced projection screens, and multiple cameras as well as a full-scale production facility. They then connected it via fiber to the church’s five satellite campuses – and the internet – where regular broadcasts carry sermons to the faithful around the world.

This success led the team to design and install AV for all of the other campuses along with integrated communication, control and security systems.

The second-largest convention center in the United States boasts 2.2 million square feet of space, with Highway 4 running through the middle of it. The owners wanted to upgrade their systems and unite the great expanse with one integrated media system configurable to any client’s needs.
The team at Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech company, met this challenge by replacing older IED and Peavey systems with a Q-SYS system that ran on a DSP platform. With the touch of a button, the entire center can function as one space, or break down into as many as 96 separate rooms on each side of the highway. The complexity of this challenge required the team to write its own software and interfaces and run a large amount of Ethernet cable.
This was all completed in phases while the center continued to operate.

The sprawling office space that comprises American Express’ new headquarters is designed to facilitate meetings of all sizes and scopes. Whether three people are huddled around a table, or a town hall is being broadcast around the globe, everything is anchored here. And it must perform in every situation.
Solotech designed and installed audio and video conferencing systems, full video walls, control systems and more than 400 televisions throughout the Gold LEED- certified facility.
When the job was completed, they had systems running in 300 separate rooms – in only four months.

When one of the top-10 most visited theaters in the world wanted a new, bigger sound for their smaller performance space, they called Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech company, to make it happen.
The team outfitted the Amaturo, a black-box style theater, with a smaller version of the same Meyer sound system and Yamaha mixers used in the main hall. This enabled staff to seamlessly operate either room without retraining on an additional system.
Designers also equipped the room, which books the venue’s more avant garde shows, with cabling, communications and the flexibility to stage nearly any kind of performance.
This empowers artists from around the world to share their visions with audiences more than 300 nights a year.

Suites in the Superdome are some of the most prized real estates outside of the Garden District. And they’re made better by the sound systems designed and installed by Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech Company engineers.
Using JBL and QSC technology, the team developed a completely new high-end sound system for the suite level and delivered on an extremely tight timeline.
This helps bring the action on the field right to the fans in the suites.

The State Farm Stadium is unlike any other in the United States. With a natural grass field that can be completely rolled away from the building, as well as a retractable roof and thousands of square feet of space, it’s a monster multi-use facility. It was also the first stadium in the country to leverage a full design-build approach to its audio and video system, something Pro Sound & Video, a Solotech Company, helped them with.

We enabled them to increase the quality of the in-stadium media experience while still coming in on time. For example, cables run under the field rather than around the building, eliminating the need for almost a million feet of wires. This also allowed the team to install more advanced cabling designed to accommodate technological advances over the next 20-30 years. The cabling came in handy when Solotech returned to upgrade the facility and make it the first NFL stadium with 4k video capabilities.
