Abstract

The acoustical challenges encountered in recent political conventions is reviewed. Examples are drawn from The 1992 Republican National Convention in the Astrodome in Houston, The 1996 Republican National Convention in the San Diego Convention Center, and the siting study prepared for The 2000 Republican National Convention scheduled for Philadelphia. The acoustical needs of the delegates and the broadcast audience are discussed. The technical performance requirements of convention sound reinforcement and media network broadcast feed are outlined. The necessary technical and performance tradeoffs are enumerated with respect to the physical constraints, schedule requirements, budget limitations, and planning committee expectations.
