Harman solution for Vietnam’s Central Circus
- Details
In order to enhance the facility’s sound quality and provide a more immersive performances experience for audiences, the theatre hired Ba Sao Investment to update the facility’s aging audio system with a cutting-edge integrated audio solution. Ba Sao Investment selected a Harman audio solution made up of JBL speakers, Crown amps, dbx signal processors and Soundcraft digital mixing consoles.
“One key requirement of the audio system was that it needed to be powerful enough to cover our theatre’s needs, and portable enough to suit our touring needs,” said Mr.Lê Quang Tuyến, vice president of Central Circus Theatre. “Ba Sao Investment worked closely with Harman to provide us with a customised solution that includes a combination of passive and active JBL speakers. The Harman system offers us a lot of flexibility, and is a huge improvement over the previous system in terms of overall sound quality.”
The system in the Central Circus Theatre consists of 12 JBL STX825 two-way speakers, six JBL STX828 dual 18-inch subwoofers, 18 JBL PRX715 two-way portable powered speakers, Crown MA5000 power amplifiers, Soundcraft Si Performer 2 digital mixing consoles and dbx DriveRack 260 speaker management systems.
“The Central Circus Theatre is thrilled with the Harman system we installed,” said Nguyen Khac Anh, CEO, Ba Sao Investment. “The JBL speakers provide excellent clarity and coverage, and the dbx DriveRack 260 ensures the system is optimised for every performance. The small-format Soundcraft Si Performer 2 can handle any live mix situation, and its built-in DMX lighting controller makes it easy for one technician to control audio and lighting from one console.”
“We are honoured that our solutions are incorporated in Vietnam’s oldest circus,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. “The proud tradition of the Central Circus Theatre is in line with Harman’s tradition of providing premium technical solutions.”
