Comprising a fleet of d&b's new Ci installation range loudspeakers, the system was powered by d&b's innovative E-PAC amplifiers and driven by Soundcraft's 48-channel MH3 mixing desk. To maximize flexibility, Orbital supplied BSS's Soundweb for control, which can be operated remotely from any point in the theatre via a PC laptop. Drawmer compressors and gates were supplied for processing. A host of ancillary equipment was also provided, including Yamaha's SPX reverb/effects units, multi-core systems and a fleet of microphones from beyerdynamic, Crown and Sennheiser.
Michael Donoghue commented: "Orbital's experience in theatre sound, coupled with their close working relationship with d&b, made them our first and only choice. Most of the touring shows that we host are supplied by Orbital in the first instance, which underlines their position as the preferred choice to up-grade our sound."
