THE AUSSIE FILES
SYDNEY/MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA ASIA/PACIFIC/OCEANIA
DOLTONE HOUSE Located in a prestigious area of Sydney’s central business district with stunning views of Hyde Park is a multi-purpose event space that has been finished to the highest standard. Doltone House is situated on level three of the Tattersalls Club, which guests arrive at via a sweeping staircase of double stitched black leather, gold mirrors and detailed tiling, which creates a luxurious ambiance ahead of the fusion of modern and old-world glamour in The Hyde Park Ballroom, the main event space at Doltone House. The ballroom benefits from heritage features such as grand arched windows and three beautiful sandstone fireplaces. It can be used as one large function space or can be divided into as many as four sections - via moveable walls - as required. Aside from the main ballroom there are also the Manhattan and Avenue rooms, which are generally used for smaller conferences and meetings or as a pre-function room. With in-house audiovisual partnerships already in place at Doltone House in Jones Bay Wharf and Darling Island Wharf, Microhire was also asked to tender for the new space and successfully won the contract. The brief was to install a flown system so that floor space was not reduced and to select a PA that would be adaptable to a large number of applications. Projection screens were also needed in every available spot, as well as a selection of intelligent lighting for

events. General Manager for Mircohire, Thomas Armati said: “I initially spoke to Jands, which I typically engage for audio products. The company put me onto another contact, which was Fredon. The design in terms of CAD work was carried out by Fredon, in conjunction with Jands specifying the lighting bars and then Show Technology advised me on the lighting products that would work best in the space.” There are 16 JBL PRX412M two-way monitor loudspeakers installed around the main ballroom for front of house. The cabinets have been split into eight pairs, each of which flank a Panasonic PT-DZ6710U projector and a Screen Technics 150-inch 16:9 motorised screen. “Added to that are 44 JBL Control 47LP in ceiling speakers for background music typically used for weddings. There are also provisions for powered subwoofers if required with four of them on site. It can certainly kick along quite well,” said Nick Orsatti, General Manager at Fredon. There are eight Shure ULXD4Q digital quad wireless receivers that are used for radio microphones throughout the venue, they have been coupled with an antennae distribution system meaning any one of them can be turned on in any space and it’ll route to the desired room. Nick continued: “I’m really stoked with the Shure ULXD4Qs. They’re a really simple system to use and you get heaps of channels which is important when there’s not much spectrum available. They’re a really nice package and I expect to see a lot more hire companies start using them. We’re putting heaps of them in everywhere.” For system processing and power, Thomas and Nick selected two
