The lighting package uses almost 200 ways of ETC Sensor dimming, controlled by an ETC Congo Junior desk. Amongst the 100-plus lanterns supplied were 12 Robe 575s, 24 JB LED A7s plus Selecon, ETC & Thomas units.
The d&B audio system is controlled by a Yamaha LS9 32 & DME64. This makes it possible to switch easily between FOH and Cinema mode at the touch of a button on the Crestron control system, which also provides complete AV & lighting control. The transformation to a digital cinema was enabled by the installation of a Christie Digital Roadstar HD12K.
Doughty Engineering bespoke 50 plus panels and 11 internally wired bars were used throughout to meet the quality requirements of the project. The need for high spec also demonstrated that cable management chain systems can be used in smaller venues to great effect.
Audio Light Systems also installed: Paging/ Show relay (audio & video); Ring intercom; Infra-red and induction loops; House & working lights; All specialist cabling; Plus another two performance spaces within the project.
