Harman supports Vietnam National Drama Theatre
- Details
The theatre, which was built in the 1950s, was recently redeveloped and Ba Sao Investment upgraded the audio system with a complete Harman audio solution.
Nguyen Khac Anh, CEO of Ba Sao Investment, says: “Vietnam National Drama Theatre asked us to install a modern audio system with perfect coverage at every seat in the house. The new Harman system delivers clarity, depth and intelligibility across the entire 620sq.ft theatre, with no audible delay. Management is very pleased with the solution, especially because it offers the flexibility to easily integrate new components in the future.”
The system comprises JBL VRX900 Series line arrays, JBL PRX700 Series powered speakers, Crown Macro-Tech I Series amplifiers, a BSS Minidrive loudspeaker management system and a Soundcraft Si Expression series digital mixing console.
The JBL VRX928LA compact two-way line array speaker’s amplitude shading feature makes it easy to adjust each speaker’s high-frequency output for a consistent response in the theatre. JBL VRX915S bass-reflex subwoofers offer powerful bass frequencies in a compact footprint. PRX712 two-way powered speakers provide front-fill coverage for the first few rows.
The system is powered by Crown MA 5000i amplifiers, offering powerful performance and unmatched reliability. The speakers are tuned using a BSS FDS-334T Minidrive loudspeaker management system, which combines limiting, EQ, crossovers and input/output delay in a single comprehensive unit. Finally, a Soundcraft Si Expression 3 digital audio console provides the versatility and complexity needed to mix modern theatrical productions.
“We are proud to see our solutions support the arts in the historic Vietnam National Drama Theatre,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. “Thanks to Ba Sao Investment’s expertise and attention to detail, audiences will be thrilled by performances at the National Drama Theatre for many years to come.”
