Bob said attenuation has. It will absorb sound. The room does not have a <br /> specially designed audio system. If the Committee wants that, he needs <br /> some parameters for it' s design. <br /> Peter said this is a community building, if people are not comfortable in <br /> the room, they won't use it. <br /> Paul said there are two issue for that room: a. sound issues within the <br /> room and b. a communication system. <br /> Mike Pietrowski will have to talk with the SMMA staff. Maybe the general <br /> public address system can be taped in to. <br /> Mr. Cavanaugh said they are assisting with the entire acoustical <br /> environment, with an extra system for the auditorium. <br /> (Bill Martiros joint the meeting) <br /> Steve discussed putting a conduit in the slab vs. an infra red system. <br /> Maybe the system can go totally wireless, for the cost advantage. <br /> Paul said a conduit is not expensive but he agrees technology should try to <br /> be wireless. <br /> Mr. Cavanaugh said wireless systems have become very advanced in the last <br /> decade, it is just a matter of money. <br /> Merry Sue said acoustics of the TV studio across for the band room have to <br /> be looked at. Can they go on simultaneously? . <br /> Mr. Cavanaugh said that is his charge - isolating sound with petitions, <br /> doors, etc. <br /> Bob said all the spaces will be looked at. Some may need special materials, <br /> that is why Mr.Cavanaugh 's firm was hired . <br /> Paul asked, when they get to the nuts and bolts of the design , please come <br /> back to the Committee with their recommendations. He does not want to be <br /> too far into the design and find out the Committee is not happy. <br /> Bob suggested Mike Pietrowski , Mike Pare, Steve Greelish , SMMA's electrical <br /> representative and Mr. Cavanaugh meet to decide the parameters of the <br /> systems, present it to the Committee and go from there. <br /> Mike Pietrowski suggested the Committee look into getting a 2 year warranty <br /> rather than only a 1 year -depending on the cost. <br /> Paul said an extended warranty is probably not a lot of money. <br /> Bill Hauck said if the auditorium itself is not designed right, forget <br /> about everything else. He has seen auditoriums completely re-done. <br /> Paul said it is Cavanaugh's responsibility that it works. <br /> Joe asked for examples of auditoriums or cafeterias he has done, that are <br /> comparable in size to Mashpee's? <br /> Mr. Cavanaugh said Nauset is about the same size as this auditorium. They <br /> are happy with it. <br /> He has been consulting for over 40 years and involved with hundreds of <br /> auditoriums, all over the country. They did the house system for Great <br /> Woods Center for the Performing Arts, Mechanics Hall in Worcester. <br /> Mike Pietrowski asked if they did any work for George Lucas? <br /> Mr. Cavanaugh said one of his staff works for George Lucus now. <br /> Bill Jones suggested they look at the Matachesse auditorium.
