Board awards auditorium sound upgrade to Luxe ABL for about $119,256
Summary
After hearing technical explanations about active vs. passive systems and 3D modeling benefits, the board approved Luxe ABL's option 2 passive sound-system bid for $119,256.53, citing better tuning and a longer warranty.
The board approved a bid to upgrade the high‑school auditorium sound system, selecting Luxe ABL Incorporated’s option 2 at a price staff presented as $119,256.53.
Technical consultant Roni explained the recommended option is a passive system with 3‑D modeling capabilities that allow tuning left‑to‑right and front‑to‑back for more consistent sound across seats. "The option 2 was for a passive system...it gives you more tuning capabilities," Roni said, adding that option 2 carried a longer warranty than option 1 and includes calibration and tuning services in the price.
Staff noted the current auditorium system's amps and speakers are roughly 25–30 years old and that the recommended system includes updated speaker arrays and improved intercoms for backstage-to-booth communication. The board moved and approved awarding the bid to Luxe ABL for the recommended option.
Why this matters: the upgrade is intended to improve audio quality for concerts, theater and assemblies and reduce maintenance down the road; funding was discussed in the context of a broader auditorium improvement project previously approved by the board.
