Originally built in 1926, the Aztec Theater is a premier destination in San Antonio’s restored RiverWalk section.
SDR Specialties were called upon for the renovation, and worked in tandem with architect Steven Durr Design and consultant Drury Southwest.
The project required exceptional awareness and sensitivity of the Theater’s historical status in terms of a compact, efficient and unobtrusive installation.
When it came to the equipment infrastructure, Steve Hennig of SDR chose Middle Atlantic Products.
Said Steve, “I chose Middle Atlantic because of their reputation for quality.
I’ve been using their products for years because they’re well made, always up to code, and all of the details are right, like the holes always line up perfectly, which can be very important. Their products are always right on the money.”
“The challenge for the Aztec Theater project was that every time we had to drill a hole or change anything, we had to make sure that we maintained the authentic look and preserved all of the wall treatments from the original theater, something the client was very particular about.”
The A/V system integrates well with the historic venue and includes Extron Video/Audio Distribution amps and Switchers, Yorkville Studio Monitors, a Crestron Control Processor, a Tascam Video Player and Sony cameras.
Summing up the project Hennig commented, “Bottom line, Middle Atlantic equipment was in integral part of our successful completion of this project.”
“The company offers broader and more diverse configuration of products, which distinguishes them from their competition. This project required a unique design and unique product set only they could offer.”
