The show has run for nine months in the Rotterdam Nieuwe Luxor theater, now moved to Amsterdam's 1,800-seat Royal Carré Theater, a return to the capital's theatre after 17 years, and from here to the Stadsschouwburg in Antwerpen, so Jeroen's design - with equipment supplied by Peter Scheunhage at Dutch rental company Focus Showequipment - has to take variations in size and configuration of the venues into account.
"We have a total of three hangs of six LR14 ultra-compact line-arrays (RBN401 pro-ribbon HF + 2x 6.5" LF) per side for theatres where we have three levels or two balconies," explains ten Brinke. "But usually, with one balcony, we use the top and bottom cluster only, which are two arrays of six LR14s on each side.
"For front-fills, we use eight low profile SR9s (RBN401 pro-ribbon HF +2x 5" LF) and the centre clusters comprises two hangs of 12 LR16 left and right (RBN601 pro-ribbon + 2x 8" LF) and subs are BF302s (2x 15"). The complete system powered and controlled by the Alcons 2x 2kW ALC's."
In the final implementation phase, ten Brinke was joined by West-End sound designer Nick Lidster from Autograph London.
