Featured within this floating resort's 1,300-seat Spectacular Show Lounge is the new musical performance, The Beat. Using an Aviom Pro64 digital snake, the production crew was able to take full advantage of the Cat 5 connectivity and user flexibility the system offers as well as its robust performance in the challenging cruise ship environment.
"We have enjoyed a great experience over the years with Aviom," says James Keaton, audio supervisor for Carnival Cruise Lines. "We currently have 22 ships in the fleet and we have been using the Aviom Pro16 system for monitoring and communications in our show productions on every one of them.
"The Carnival Splendor is the newest in our fleet and features a fabulous show called The Beat. Because of the unique needs of this production, considering the size and scope of the show, we decided to install a 32-channel Aviom Pro64 system which offers enhanced capabilities. We also have plans to upgrade all of the Carnival fleet to Pro64."
