"The call system is a major priority at New Theatre and we needed to replace the old system which was becoming troublesome and unreliable," said Mark. Marquee’s Scott Wakelin provided recommendations for a Backstage and FOH system, with priority facilities for the house manager to voice access the auditorium in the event of emergency. He proposed that this be achieved via a pair of Soundweb 9088ii/LL digital matrix devices, with a 9010 Jellyfish sited backstage.
As the power source, Marquee also supplied a pair of MC2’s new T-Line chassis units, plugged with multiples of their T500 (250W per channel) transformer amplifiers, in an aesthetically attractive package. Mark Gibbins adds that the next phase of the theatre’s audio upgrade will be to link the front-of-house PA system into the Soundwebs.
