The SSCAC appointed Theatre Projects Consultants as the Audio Technical Consultant. The British firm worked in close collaboration with Rightway Audio Consultants (L-Acoustics' representative for China) and Yavatop Technology for the integration of the L-Acoustics sound system of the Grand Theatre and the Dinner Theatre. With an ultimate goal to obtain unity and similar signature for both halls, a comprehensive acoustics and electro-acoustics solution was engineered, taking into account theatre design, owner requirements and the architectural character of the building.
The architecture of the whole sound system was based on the new LA4 and LA8 controlled amplifiers for optimisation of performance and system protection. Electro-acoustic and mechanical simulations were conducted with the 3D Soundvision software.
