Blitz chose the transmitters because of their size and weight - the SK 5012 weighs just 130g (including batteries). The transmitters operate continually for seven hours and a new antenna design provides an RF power output of typically 30mW. Additionally, the all-metal casing provides improved protection against moisture and humidity levels. Blitz also supplied 16 other members of the cast with slightly larger Sennheiser SK50 transmitters.
The company also installed a Cadac J-Type Live production console, which enables users to take original mono inputs alongside programmable dual input and stereo input channels, to get the precise routing and mix required for every cue. Additional equipment from Marquee Audio included Tannoy T40, 3836 and S300 loudspeakers, Meyer 650P subs and control via a substantial quantity of BSS FDS-366 controllers and XTA SIDD controllers.
The Full Monty, which has already been a huge success on Broadway, opened in London at the Prince of Wales theatre on March 12th. It is based on the British comedy film of the same name, which was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and is the most profitable British film ever released.
