084 VENUE
TEATRE VICTORIA Our final call of day is to a theatre in central Barcelona, on a street historically famed for its abundance of theatres, called Avinguda del Paral-lel. Victoria has successfully adapted to evolving demands for, and of, theatres since it officially opened in 1916. Other theatres on the same stretch have also enjoyed reinventions, whereas some have closed and not yet found their modern-day function. Javier Isequilla, who represents Woods Engineering from Madrid, designed the new audio configuration for the show 40 El Musical, which is produced by DRIVE Entertainment. It comprises 14-speaker Adamson Metrix arrays, made up of 10 Metrix-i speakers, two Metrix Wave-i speakers and two Metrix Sub-t bass units. More Metrix Sub-t bass units are positioned on the ground at either side of the stage front - two on either side - along with a single Adamson Point 12 point source speaker. Two Adamson T21 subs are hung above the centre of the stage for further bass reinforcement. Front of stage fill and under-balcony fill are handled by Adamson Point 8 enclosures.

Five XTA DP448’s manage digital signal processing and an Avid VENUE D-Show System is in place for mixing live sound. The sound system is powered by
Lab.gruppen amplifiers, which were already in place.
SeeSound prescribed a package of Furman equipment, as there had been some problems in similar venues due to AC being noisy and unstable. The PL8C E is capable of filtering the AC and limiting the high voltages. The inclusion of two LED lights facing downwards to light the rack makes it particularly user-friendly. “We are very pleased with the install for this particular musical,” en- thused Nacho. “The Metrix is a really compact system that gives that unprecedented clarity (mainly in the mid section) that every sound engineer wants to work with when using many microphones with ac- tors. Complemented with the 2 x 15-inch Metrix Sub-t bass units and a pair of 2 x 21-inch T21 subs, we get that extra octave down that makes everyone feel something different.”
