The show's sound designer, Bobby Aitken, chose the CSC Software after an extensive evaluation between other solutions and is using the product to replay sound effects and music tracks. The system is controlled from the production's main console and outputs to multiple speaker zones including an onstage "gramophone" for realistic "rehearsal scenes".
CSC is gaining rapid adoption within the theatre community due to it's powerful, yet easy to use interface, says Orbital. It has recently been deployed on a variety of productions including, It's a Fine Life(Queen's Theatre Hornchurch) and The Last 5 Years (Menier Chocolate Factory), as well as continuing its success on the Little Britain UK Tour and is lined up to handle the audio playback of a dozen Christmas shows around the country in December.
