BSPAC’s New Sound System is Here

Share

Something special happened at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center this season—and you could hear it.


Thanks to the success of Turn UP the Sound, a two-night fundraiser co-hosted with the Borrego Springs Film Institute (BSFI), BSPAC has officially installed a state-of-the-art sound system that will elevate every concert, live performance, and film screening for years to come.


A Night to Remember


A standout moment of the event was the return of acclaimed filmmaker Pat Battistini, who screened several of his award-winning short films—including Ms. Rossi, Ms. Rossi Takes the Cake, and Mrs. Rossi Meets the Mob. His engaging Q&A sessions brought laughter, behind-the-scenes insight, and heartfelt appreciation from the audience. Battistini’s presence reminded us all just how powerful great storytelling—and great sound—can be.


What’s New in the Theater


This upgrade goes far beyond basic audio—it’s a full transformation of the theater’s acoustic experience. The new system includes:


  • 2 main speakers delivering full-stage coverage


  • 2 subwoofers for rich, deep sound


  • 2 delay speakers to ensure balanced sound throughout the space


  • 4 front-fill speakers to enhance audio in the first rows


  • 4 under-booth delay speakers to complete the immersive soundscape


  • All-new amplifiers and precision audio processing hardware


  • A custom-built amplifier rack and complete system tuning for optimal performance

Why It Matters


In a small town like Borrego Springs, BSPAC is more than a venue—it’s where the community comes together to celebrate art, culture, and connection. This audio upgrade ensures that every guest, including those using hearing assistance devices, can enjoy performances with crystal-clear sound from every seat in the house.


It’s a powerful investment in accessibility, quality, and the future of the arts in Borrego Springs.
