The PN Series cabinets - each an easy one-man lift with the mid high boxes designed for portability via pole mounting on the subwoof- ers - feature the company’s Complex Conic waveguides to deliver tight directivity and high power from compact boxes. These cover a variety of the theatre’s areas from front fi lls, balconies to the foyer and other spaces. “It means we can maintain identical sound quality throughout the theatre,” said Lukasz, “as Renkus-Heinz applies the same acoustic techniques and qualities to each type of cabinet it designs, whether large or small, active or passive.” Audio distribution is headed by Focusrite RedNet A-D/D-A inter- face equipment for its audio networking system, while M.Ostrowski provided the Dante-MADI conversion. The company also provided a comprehensive Riedel digital intercom matrix / stage management system using Artist 5000 and 2100 series intercom panels. The networking set-up also allows for console positioning at the stage or back of house for maximum fl exibility. The control end is entirely Yamaha based, with a pair of CL5 digital consoles - and a pair of iPads - feeding three Rio 3224-D and two Rio 1608-D digital stageboxes, a DME64N digital mixing processor, a Klark Teknik DN9652 dual network bridge, as well as 14 Yamaha P5000S and P7000S power amplifi ers for the passive loudspeakers. Unusually, the main control position is on-stage, although there is a more conventional back-of-house position with an openable window for greater sonic clarity. Lukasz’s partner in the audio installation, Marcin Łabdzki, noted the

rack room is the heart of the distribution of audio, visual and power amplifi ers too. “We have two stage racks for the Yamaha amplifi ers, and dual Dante converters as it’s a redundant network; and there’s the separate one CobraNet set-up for loudspeaker distribution. It’s combined with the intercom video distribution and video amplifi ers.” The microphone complement is from Shure - eight UR4D wireless dual channel diversity receivers, 12 UR1M bodypack transmitters and four Shure UR2 handheld transmitters.


Marcin commented: “After the new system was installed we had an actors’ song interpretation festival here. A comment from one of the top sound engineers was that the FOH loudspeakers are really good; they didn’t need any other equipment or any other extra loudspeakers for shows right up to rock concert levels; there were also some other sound engineers from all over the world who said that our system has been set up to world standards - needless to say, we were rather pleased about that.”


“While we coordinated all the elements our partners from Warsaw, LTT and Promont, dealt specifi cally with the lighting and stage machinery integration, and supplied the stage machinery from TrekW- erk,” said Lukasz. “The whole rig is designed for maximum versatility.” The lighting control is Compulite based with a Vector Blue in place as the main console, a Vector Green as back-up, and two Ultra-Vi- olets for the auditorium and foyer. Dimmers emanate from the same company and include three CompuRACKs with 24 channels allowing 0.5kW of power per channel, one CompuRACK equipped with 12
