“The goal was to create a smooth, consistent sonic field across a very large, open lawn,” explains Bryan A. Edens,
@solotech_inc senior business development representative. He notes that fitting the system into the site’s unique layout and technical footprint called for careful design—a challenge the team embraced. “Architecturally, the entire system has to coexist with #frankgehry building and the massive projection wall without cluttering sightlines,” he explains. “We also had to work within the existing infrastructure from the 2011 installation, and we had a hard summer deadline because everything needed to be online and tuned ahead of the first WALLCAST® of the season.”
The upgrade also reinforces New World Symphony’s role as a civic and cultural resource. SoundScape Park is funded and owned by the City of Miami Beach, ensuring that world-class orchestral performance remains freely accessible as a shared public experience.
“The new system gives the park a huge leap in clarity, coverage, and dynamic impact,” says Edens. “But maybe the most meaningful improvement is the sense of community the sound now supports. WALLCAST® concerts bring people together, and with this upgrade, the audio finally matches the scale of that community energy. It feels like the performance isn’t just being broadcast—it’s truly happening in the park, with the audience as part of the experience.”
“At the end of the day, the audience doesn’t think in terms of arrays or horns—they think in terms of how it feels,” he concludes. “The music feels closer, clearer, and more alive than it ever has outdoors.”
