Stage Electrics equips Stamford theatre group
- Details
Requiring a new wireless comms system ahead of their 2018 season, the Stamford Shakespeare Company enlisted Stage Electrics for guidance. “The client approached us with an idea of what they wanted. We discussed several different comms systems but settled on Altair’s WBS-202HD dual channel wireless intercom system,” comments Jonty Gray of Stage Electrics.
The WBS-202HD offers a secure communication between the base station operator and a maximum of eight wireless beltpacks. “The client specified that they needed the ability to allow the backstage crew and lighting technicians to communicate via different channels. This communication system allows for two operating modes.
“Either they can have all beltpacks on one radio wave or four on one and four on the other. Simply, allowing the two different teams to communicate individually,” Jonty reports. “Regarding the actual beltpack itself Altair’s WBP-210HD and WBP-212HD were the clear solution as they have both been specifically designed to offer outstanding performance in outdoor applications.”
The Stamford Shakespeare Company has recently opened the doors for their 2018 string of summer performances. “We are pleased with our investment; this wireless comms system is easy to use and offers great cross-platform compatibility,” reflects Grant Witton of the Stamford Shakespeare Company. “We regularly buy from Stage Electrics; Jonty and his team are very informative. We’re looking forward to this summer season of performances with the aid of our new equipment.”
