Lund, located in the southern most part of Sweden, is home to Lund's University that was established in 1666 and is now one of Scandinavia's largest institutions for education and research. Lund's City Theatre is the centre of the local performing arts life. Productions range from visiting avant-garde dramatic theatre to locally produced crowd-pleasers like the recently featured musical Sweeny Todd.
When it was time to redo the signal distribution system for their main venue, major considerations were ease and cost of installation, as well as the need to accommodate future expansions and new technologies such as Ethernet and RDM. The theatre is located downtown and co-existence with other neighbouring radio systems was an absolute requirement when it became obvious that a wireless system would represent the best technical and most cost efficient solution.
The technical staff identified LumenRadio's CRMX system as the most suitable technology that would meet all their practical requirements and also fit into their constrained budget. A wireless CRMX Nova DMX/RDM distribution system, comprising one dual universe transmitter and seven single universe receivers, was installed after consultations with leading Swedish entertainment technology provider Hofmann Teknik AB.
Hofmann Teknik, LumenRadio distributor in Sweden, reports that the CRMX technology is rapidly becoming a must-have for large and small venues alike. "We experience a growing and very strong interest in reliable and trustworthy wireless lighting controls from theatres and other venues here in Sweden. Feedback we receive from the many satisfied customers often include "why didn't we go wireless with LumenRadio CRMX earlier."
