In this edition (Listen to part one), SVC contributing editor Bennett Liles continues his chat with Paul Parrie, associate vice president of technology at the National World War II Museum. In this part, Paul explores the audio system in the high-tech Solomon Victory Theater and tells the story of how the technical show elements were originally conceived, installed, and tweaked during weeks of show rehearsals and technical testing. He also discusses the substantial routine maintenance procedures that are used to keep the intricate mechanisms, moving stage units, sound, lighting, and projection working in sync to provide the maximum experience in the World War II multimedia presentation Beyond All Boundaries.
