Another example of the international scope of D.A.S. installations is the Norilsk Zapoliarny Theatre in Russia. BossMan, D.A.S.’s Russian distributor has installed a large number of different D.A.S. systems. The venue was built in 1941 and remodeled in 1985. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the theatre, a series of upgrades were undertaken, including new audio/visual systems which would provide both general sound reinforcement and surround sound for cinema applications. 24 Dynamics series DS-8s where installed in the theater for AV use. On stage, four DS-12s and four DS-15s provide stage monitoring for live events. The ultra-compact Factor-5s have been installed throughout the venue for general paging and emergency announcements.
