Located within sight of Red Square and the Kremlin, Moscow’s Zaryadye Park has completed an extensive installation of Stage Tec audio technology. Its unusual interplay of nature and architecture includes plants and trees from different Russian vegetation zones arranged in the 13 hectare area along with buildings dug into the landscape – some of which are only evidenced by their green roofs and entrances. One of these buildings is the concert hall, which is embedded in an artificial hill. Here, two Stage Tec Aurus platinum and one Auratus platinum mixing console serve two underground concert halls and a recording studio.
The Aurus consoles are generously equipped – each surface has 48 faders and the Nexus router offers six or seven RMDQ audio DSP units. This allows the consoles to achieve their full potential and is also ideal for resource-intensive production formats. The smaller Auratus has 24 faders. The three mixing consoles are integrated into a large Nexus network with two routers and 12 Base Devices. For recording concerts, Nexus connects the two halls with the recording studio. The OMUX optical multiplexer completes the installation. This enables portable or permanently installed external devices to be connected to the Nexus network.
The two halls can accommodate 1,600 and 400 visitors respectively that together host classical music, jazz, rock and pop music. The spectacular roof of the hall is an 8,700sq-m glass construction covering the entrance to the concert halls at the front and the spectator stands of an amphitheatre for open-air events at the rear.
