Having completed its debut run in Florida at the end of 2007, and having had a stellar preview run on Broadway in August this year, A Tale of Two Cities ...the musical moved to its new home at the Al Hirschfield Theatre, where it opened on 18 September with Warren Carlyle directing. Sound Associates' Carl Casella and Domonic Sack are sound designers for the show; Wallace Flores (Sound Associates) is associate sound designer. Ty Lackey is mixing the production.
Sound Associates' Wallace Flores has been part of the XL8's development since the beginning, working with the Midas Digital Design team to help realise the system's capabilities in real-world applications. He comments, "The XL8 offers a range of unique features to design show sound in ways that streamline operations and hardware logistics while offering the very highest audio quality and signal processing flexibility.
"Most importantly, the audience loves how the show sounds; the inherent Midas sound quality makes sure of that. There's very little EQ needed - the warm mic preamps and the compression we're using all sound so sweet."
