'GRAND’ Install at

Xiaguang Theater'

CHINA: China has been focusing on

enriching its cultural landscape in recent

years and the recently opened 50,000 sq.

ft Xiaguang Grand Theater & Performing

Arts Center in Shijiazhuang is a shining

example of this.

The complex, put together at a total cost

of RMB380m (48.5m euros), includes a

1,200 seat theatre, a more intimate 600-

seat multipurpose hall, a rehearsal hall,

teaching rooms and ofces. The theme for

the building's design is “creating harmony

through spirit and song”, and it instantly

became a landmark in the Hebei provincial

capital.

Tasked with meeting the project's desire

for a world class sound system, Beijing

Pacic Budee and Shaanxi Lanyu Audio

Video Technology teamed up to meet the

demands. The choice was clear; Martin

Audio's line of products would be able to

handle the rich repertoire of diverse

performances.

For the main theatre, the designers chose

a mixture of 18 WT2's & WT3's as the

main sound system, with the ability to

cover the audience area and deliver

excellent sound clarity. Around the stage,

12 AQ6s and nine AQ15s were used as

lls to further boost the quality of the

sound coverage. The acquisition also

included 15 XD12s and ve WS218X

subwoofers for use on larger shows, or

those events needing a greater array of

effects.

The smaller hall features electronic

telescopic seating so that it can variously

function as a concert hall, performance

space, or be recongured to have seating

around the outside of a T-shaped stage.

The adaptive nature of this venue required

an equally adaptive sound system and

MLA Mini multi-cellular technology was

perfect for the task. The PA design

features 16 MLA Mini elements and four

15in MSX sub-bass speakers. The system

has the advantage of quick response and

its computer control allows for on-the-y

adjustments, based on the performance

and seating on the night.

“This is a stunning theatre from the

outside, and working with Lanyun, we

wanted to provide an equally fantastic

sound system,” said Budee's CEO Mao

Yanjun. “From our client feedback, and

SI A

those who've attended the opening

performances, we did just that.”

Shijiazhuang exists in the shadow of the

Chinese capital, being situated less than

300 km away from Beijing (a distance

traversed in little over an hour on the high

speed trains). Now this little brother to

Beijing has a theatre that stands out, and

can match any of the offerings in the

capital.
