The Coopers Malthouse Installs L-acoustics X Series

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Aten Ve66dth Full time

THE COOPERS MALTHOUSE INSTALLS L-ACOUSTICS X SERIESOriginally built in 1892 as a brewery and malting works building in Southbank, Melbourne has been the home of the Malthouse Theatre since 1990, when Carlton and United Breweries donated the space for the creation and presentation of contemporary Australian theatre.

Today, the thriving theatre presents mainly cabarets and musicals, but also plays, conferences and seminars.

In early 2016, the audio system at The Coopers Malthouse, which was over ten years old, was due for a technical upgrade.

The venue is run as a non-profit organisation, so budget was a major factor in the choice of a system.

The Coopers Malthouse consists of three theatres, rehearsal studios, meeting rooms, a bar and a café.

The new system needed to be flexible and easily reconfigured as seating configurations would be changed depending on the performance.

The old audio system, installed in 2006, incorporated L-Acoustics MTD coaxial loudspeakers and had given ten years of reliable service.

In choosing the new system, weight limitations and the venue's low ceiling steered the decision towards L-Acoustics' new coaxial range, the X Series."The new L-Acoustics X Series loudspeakers caught our eye, given their size, weight and the fact that they satisfied all our criteria," says Baird Mc Kenna, technical manager at Malthouse Theatre.

"We were a little nervous at first, because they are a new range and this was possibly the first theatre installation in the world to use them, but the fantastic reliability of the previous L-Acoustics system gave us the confidence that they were the right choice."That confidence was boosted by the integrator, Norwest Productions.
"Norwest reassured us that quality and reliability is paramount in the design and development of L-Acoustics products.
It gave us further confidence that we were making the right choice," says Baird.

The new system comprises eight L-Acoustics X12 for main front of house sound, four X8 delays, six 5 XT with two SB15 M subs for front fill, and two SB18 M subs in addition to the MTD subs from the previous system.

Five LA4 X amplified controllers power and control the system.

Approvals for the system upgrade were received in 2015, and the system had to be installed by the end of January 2016.

"We worked closely with L-Acoustics to meet the deadline," says Gerry Gavros, Brand Manager (Pro and Commercial Audio) at Hills Limited. "It was one of these rare projects where everything fell into place.

From resources funding through to implementation – the timing was perfect""The X Series delivers crystal clear vocal clarity throughout each of the theatres and is consistent across all audience areas," says Baird.

"An added advantage is that the X12, X8 and 5 XT all work beautifully together — there is amazing tonal consistency across the three models. Our sound operators are over the moon and find the system a joy to work with — it makes their shows really come to life." Your email address will not be published.
