University of Rhode Island’s Ryan Center Gets a Smarter System with Q-Sys
Kingston, RI (March 23, 2011) -- The Ryan Center, a $54 million, 7,500 seat multi-purpose arena on the grounds of the University of Rhode Island, is home to a variety of events including family entertainment, concerts, sports competitions, conventions and a host of other community affairs. Recently, Ryan graduated to a much more intelligent sound system with the help of QSC Audio.

For Flammia, the challenge was two-fold; he needed to implement a system that…
