Clair Brothers C8 reinforces Santander Centre
- Details
David Farrar, general manager for the venue was well aware of the fact that his 2,000-seat theatre was special and would require a custom approach to achieve a consistently powerful sound that show-goers would never forget. Says Farrar, “Clair Brothers provided more than I could have expected with their specifically-customised C8-TrueFit sound system.”
Beyond overcoming unique architectural nuances of an historic venue, the new Clair Brothers C8-TrueFit system had to bring out the best for a wide range of performances, from children's shows and comedians to orchestral performances and heavy metal bands. There was no question that Santander would require a truly tailor-made sound system. After much investigation, consultation and measurement, the C8-TrueFit system, with its ability to minimize architectural reflection and anomalies, was the unanimous choice as the best way to go.
An added bonus and special feature of the new C8 sound system at Santander is that the majority of the system is portable, including its main PA, amp racks, cabling and motors. In this way, it’s much akin to a road system, where portability makes the unit much more flexible for any venue and its customers.
“My staff and I are big fans of the Clair Brothers C8-TrueFit system,” explains Farrar. “Compared to the one-hundred-plus shows that have brought in all different kinds of systems, I have not heard the room sound better than it does right now. We all love it.”
