Overview

The Great Southern Bank Arena, formerly known as JQH Arena, home to the Missouri State Bears basketball teams, opened in 2008 with a seating capacity of 11,000 and 22 suites. The $67M arena has become a premier venue for basketball, hosting NCAA postseason games, high school and college events, and concerts.

Paragon has been the turn-key audio partner since its opening. The arena’s audio system features ten line array speakers, with a secondary system for events using a stage. The system is motorized for easy maintenance, cobra-net based, and controlled by QSC processing and amplification, with custom presets. Additional localized systems cover suites, concourses, and other auxiliary spaces.
