The authors have recently completed the production of the 15552 channel PbSc Electromagnetic calorimeter for the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The design features a single 4 tower module which is repeated throughout and which was produced with a number of QC steps designed to achieve consistent, large light yield in all channels. They present results on uniformity of the calorimeter, accuracy of a cosmic muon based precalibration scheme and test beam performance.
