Facility - Tech Specs

STAGE
The stage is 25’ x 12’ and is raised approximately 19” off the floor. Due to headroom issues, TCAN does not provide or accommodate any risers.

NOTE: No PA or lighting equipment maybe be used as a substitute, or supplement, to TCAN house systems without the prior express approval of venue management. Questions related to audio equipment should be referred to TCAN's house sound engineer, Joe Idzal at joeidzal@natickarts.org.
 

SOUND SYSTEM
The installed sound system at TCAN was designed to deliver state-of-the-art sound to the listener in any seat and excellent monitoring for the performer. The sound system is maintained by a house sound engineer. TCAN can provide a professional audio engineer to mix FOH/monitors or performers are invited to bring their own audio engineer, if desired, who will be supported by TCAN staff.
