Graycraft Signs of Warsaw has worked closely for several years with Sweetwater Sound, Inc. in Fort Wayne, IN on various sign projects. Sweetwater Sound opened 40 years ago in Fort Wayne, and it's become the country's most respected dealer of high-tech equipment for musicians, recording studios and broadcasters.
ELECTRONIC LEDs: Graycraft conducted numerous drive-bys, fly-bys and computer mock-ups to cultivate a final design. A supersized, dynamic-digital sign would provide an effective marketing tool and information source. Watchfire Signs (Danville, IL) was chosen and two, 12mm-pixel EMCs, each measuring 15 ft. 6 in. high x 28 ft. wide and weighing 7,500 lbs. Installation of the DS display required two and a half days. Message centers were put in place with a Central Crane 40-ton, hydaulic crane. The two message centers utilize 1.4 million LEDs. The color spectrum is 73.7 quintillion colors and is 370 in on the diagonal.
CHANNEL LETTERS: To identify the property and complement the supersized display, Graycraft Signs produced 4 ft tall channel letters, which comprised of hand-fabricated aluminum forms and acrylic faces, and are halo-lit with SloanLED white modules.
