Live Sound

Formerly a silent movie venue when it was constructed in 1926, Shea's Buffalo Theatre just completed an extensive, 18-year, $20 million restoration project that included a comprehensive audio systems refurbishment. The main sound system -- and an additional lobby system where none existed before -- is now Dante-enabled with the use of unobtrusive Attero Tech audio wall plates and a BSS DSP. By using a single Cat5 cable, the theatre was able to eliminate a lot of wiring, termination, conduit, and labor, saving money in the process.

Finest Hotel Playa Mujeres is part of a resort chain that provides luxury accommodation, fine dining and other services that create perfect vacation experiences in the Mexican Caribbean.

Two of Sun Valley Community Church's five campuses in Gilbert, Arizona recently underwent extensive audio system upgrades to better serve their 8,000 regular attendees and the performers on stage.

Home to NBA's Miami Heat and more than 80 various live events annually, the versatile AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida has been at the forefront of state-of-the-art audio-visual technology for over 15 years. With the completion of the brand new Xfinity Plaza, a 23,000 square foot, outdoor entertainment venue on the east side of the AmericanAirlines Arena, the challenge of installing an AV system that provided the best possible directional sound coverage and quality under a very tight deadline was answered with Dante audio networking.

EL club Ministry of Sound (MoS) de Londres ha optimizado su red de distribución y herramientas Harman, incluida la actualización a una consola Vi3000 y al gestor de plug-ins Realtime Rack, ambos de Soundcraft y suministrados por Sound Technology.

"La consola Si2 nos ha prestado un gran servicio, pero llevamos tiempo pensando en actualizarnos a otra con una pantalla más grande, y una plataforma con la que los ingenieros que vienen de gira con los artistas se sientan más cómodos", afirma el director de producción de MoS, Chris Thoms. "La Vi3000 es una gran adquisición, por su tamaño, por sus prestaciones y, por supuesto, por su calidad de sonido; viene cargada de tecnología Studer, es alucinante".

Desde que ganó Eurovisión, uno de los eventos más vistos de Europa, Mans Zelmerlöw se encuentra de gira por Europa y fuera del continente para promocionar su último álbum,"Perfectly Damaged". Al frente de los equipos principal (FOH) y de monitores está Sebastian Meyer, de Meyer Production Sweden, con dos mezcladoras Mackie DL32R controladas por iPad®. La conexión en red de las dos mezcladoras a través de Dante ha sido una forma potente y efectiva de mezclar la banda de cinco componentes.

Since opening its doors for the first time in 2011, the Chill Skybar has become one of the most popular leisure destinations in Vietnam’s largest city. But a persistent issue with noise spillage meant that its audio specification was ultimately deemed to be inadequate – hence the decision to enlist locally-based AV firm DesignLive Technologies to undertake an upgrade.

Rat Sound, una de las principales empresas especialistas en sonorización de conciertos y giras en vivo, ha integrado una red de audio Dante de Audinate en el Festival de Música y Artes de Coachella Valley (también conocido simplemente como Coachella Fest) de la pasada primavera y en el posterior festival de Stagecoach.

El estadio de Wembley en Londres está diseñado para partidos de fútbol y por tanto su sistema de audio y video es mucho más pequeño que el que se necesita para un evento de la magnitud de un partido de fútbol americano de la NFL. Para llevar al Reino Unido toda la experiencia multimedia que supone un partido de la NFL, hacía falta un sistema especialmente diseñado para responder a un mayor uso de la música y a más cámaras de televisión, más iluminación, más pirotecnia y más canales de comunicación por radio.

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous opera houses in the world. As the site for the world premiere of the highly anticipated Paramount Pictures Star Trek film, the opera house faced the challenge of distributing pristine quality audio for the 1500 people present.
