Sound reinforcement in the temporary venue was installed by minos Sicherheitstechnik who opted for a Dynacord ProMatrix 4000 system complemented by Electro-Voice loudspeakers. Comprehensive 3D simulations were conducted using the programme Ulysses to ensure adequate intelligibility in all the requisite areas.
Thomas Sterling of EVI Audio comments: "To create our 3D model, we had to enter not only the room's dimensions, but also the nature of every material in the room, from the tarpaulin that forms the walls and ceilings of the marquees to the upholstery of the chairs in the stalls. Our simulations are incredibly detailed in order to ensure that our loudspeaker configurations can deliver the desired effect."
The new system at the Deutsches Theater uses truss-mounted Electro-Voice Sx300PIX speakers in the 1,700-seat main marquee, and truss-mounted EV EVID 4.2T speakers in the ancillary marquees. The system also provides coverage in the walkways and open spaces between marquees as well as in the rest rooms, dressing rooms and stage and wardrobe areas. The entire system is powered by a 2,000-watt amp rack.
