Germany - The Stadttheater Am Hagen, as the municipal theatre in Straubing is known, is an affiliate of the Landestheater Niederbayern (Lower Bavarian State Theatre). In 2003, the theatre was thoroughly renovated and now seats 330. To make it possible to stage lavish musicals and other musical productions in future, it was necessary to reequip the auditorium with new sound equipment. TRE Professionelle Audiotechnik, which is based in Parkstetten, was entrusted with the installation. It was supported in this task by Thomas Sterling, PI sales manager at Bosch Communications Systems' Support Centre (South).

The centrepiece of the theatre's new sound system comprises - for the first time in Europe, Africa and the Middle East - the new Electro-Voice Expandable Vertical Array (EVA) system. This system, which was specially designed for fixed installation. The full-range, passive system was installed in the theatre to the left and right of the stage opening with each rig comprising three EVA-2082S/906 enclosures and one EVA-2081S/1220.

"The system convinced us straight away with its even coverage and full-range reproduction across the entire frequency range, for which no additional subwoofers are needed," says TRE Professionelle Audiotechnik's Robert Ernst. "In the area of signal processing (Electro-Voice Dx38), nothing more was needed than a high-pass filter in the sub-bass region and a low-pass filter at 16kHz to afford the system optimal protection against extremely low and extremely high frequencies."

The installation is driven by a DSA 8805 from Dynacord. The new multi-channel amplifier is equipped with an RCM-810 module, which makes control via IRIS-Net possible.
