At Amway Center, the Orlando Magic home arena and host venue of the All-Star Game 2012, a Meyer Sound system with 66 MILO line array loudspeakers and a massive LED scoreboard give a new audio visual definition that is not available anywhere else for the fans and advertisers. In the featured video, Rick Price, assistant director of broadcast technology and services, and Todd Herrbach, lead audio engineer, discuss Amway’s AV requirements including “moments of exclusivity,” importance of intelligibility, system versatility, and more. Audio system design and installation was handled by Pro Sound and Video. Learn more about the Amway Center installation: www.meyersound.com Learn more about Amway Center: www.amwaycenter.com

This is video footage I shot of the old Orlando Arena, or Amway Arena, being imploded on the morning of March 25th, 2012. The building was demolished at 7:30 AM EST. The ‘O-Rena’ was opened to the public on January 29th, 1989, and was home to the Orlando Magic NBA basketball team, as well as a number of other sports teams. It served as Orlando’s main event venue for more than 20 years, eventually being replaced by the larger and more modern Amway Center in late 2010. The O-Rena was closed in September 2011 and sat empty for six months until it was finally demolished March 25. Personally, I visited the arena for many events, including several Orlando Magic basketball games, at least one Orlando Solar Bears hockey game, a Yanni concert, and the ‘Dew Tour’ extreme sports event. The last event I witnessed inside the O-Rena was my younger brother’s high school graduation ceremony in June of 2010. This video was shot on March 25th, 2012 at 7:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, using a Kodak EasyShare Z981 digital camera.
