    PROJECT PROFILE Chesapeake Energy Arena Designed by Jerrold Stevens of Marsh/PMK Installed by Ford AV Project Details Location Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Category Sports (arena) Project Type 18,200-seat indoor arena Fulcrum Products (32) CS121 21 inch Subcardioid Subwoofers Supporting Products EAW Anya Speaker Modules Lab.gruppen Power Amplifiers The Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City’s premier venue for large events and QSC Q-SYS Core DSP entertainment, is primarily known as the home of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder. Renkus-Heinz STX Series Speakers The Arena modernized its sound system prior to the Thunder’s 2016-17 season with the Yamaha CL3 Digital Mixing Console first large scale deployment of Fulcrum’s CS121 passive cardioid subwoofers and the NBA’s first permanent installation of EAW’s Anya adaptive-array system. Designed by Marsh/ PMK’s Jerrold Stevens and installed by Ford AV, the advanced technology audio solution gives the Oklahoma City Thunder a sound to match their name. Challenges “The sound system needed excellent intelligibility, fidelity, output and bandwidth to enhance the overall fan experience and become more competitive with other NBA arenas, ” Stevens explains. Solution “Cardioid was a huge factor in the arena design,” Stevens says. “Vertical subwoofer arrays are ideal for providing smooth coverage to the seating bowl and keeping sound energy off the floor. However, the large centrally located scoreboard precluded any loudspeakers directly over center court. Forced to hang subwoofer arrays around the scoreboard’s perimeter, I knew cardioid patterns were necessary to minimize interference between arrays.” Stevens was familiar with Fulcrum’s passive cardioid line array modules and their ability to eliminate excessive rear low frequency radiation without requiring additional drivers, amplifiers or signal processing channels.

    SandRidge Energy, Inc. Sends Letter To Stockholders Recommends Stockholders Support Current Highly Qualified Board and Reject the TPG-Axon Group's Nominees and Proposals OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SandRidge Energy, Inc. (the "Company" or "SandRidge") (NYSE: SD) today sent a letter urging stockholders to support the Company's highly qualified Board and reject the TPG-Axon Group's nominees by signing, dating and returning SandRidge's WHITE consent revocation card. Included below is the full text of the letter to SandRidge stockholders: February 20, 2013 Dear Fellow Stockholder: PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN SANDRIDGE ENERGY PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE WHITE CONSENT REVOCATION CARD TODAY Your support of SandRidge Energy and its Board is critical to the continued execution of our strategy to capitalize on SandRidge's leading position in the Mississippian Lime and deliver long-term value for our stockholders. New York-based hedge fund TPG-Axon has engaged in a false and misleading campaign in an attempt to replace your experienced Board. If successful, TPG-Axon's proposals would turn control of your Company over to a new Board of Directors nominated exclusively by TPG-Axon without providing you with any control premium for your shares. TPG-Axon has yet to put forth a thoughtful plan to create value for stockholders. Giving their nominees control would place your investment at risk by disrupting the execution of our strategic plan. Don't let TPG-Axon remove SandRidge's independent and highly qualified directors who are focused on serving all of the Company's stockholders. We urge you to take no action with respect to TPG-Axon's consent solicitation other than to sign, date and return the enclosed WHITE consent revocation card.
