The Theater Muenster used the summer break to expand its existing Stage Tec Aurus Nexus system, installing two Crescendo-T consoles in the theatre’s Small House. The existing Nexus network was extended with a Star router and a Base Device. New fibre-optic and Dante interfaces, as well as seven RMDQ audio DSP units for the existing Nexus network, were also supplied. Additionally, the Nexus software was upgraded.
The larger 24-fader Crescendo-T was installed as the main console in the sound control room, while the smaller 16 fader-console acts as a parallel console in the auditorium.
Crescendo-T is Stage Tec’s theatre console, and offers special application specific features. Its static automation has been extended with new functions – the time-code trigger, and now offers the same functionality in Crescendo-T as with the Aurus console. The equaliser has also been expanded, and now offers four peak and one high-pass filter, one low-pass filter, one high-shelving filter and one low-shelving filter. The Stage Tec Automixer has also been integrated.
An Aurus has been responsible for the sound in the Muenster Theater Big House since 2010. In the Nexus Star router, five RMD boards have been replaced by five RMDQ audio DSP units, which together with an Aurus software update, offer more resources and features. Blend curves and fade times are important features for scene automation and can now be set individually for each channel.
Installation of the new equipment was undertaken by BFE. With the conclusion of the project, the system house has successfully completed its first assignment in the field of theatre installation. ‘Due to the expanded structure in the theatre, new requirements had to be implemented quickly and without red tape. Completion to the day was also a special challenge. Stage Tec is a partner you can always rely on,’ reports BFE Project Engineer, Alexander Enders,.
The Theater Muenster is the largest cultural institution in the city and combines five arts disciplines under its roof – music theatre, drama, dance theatre, concerts and youth theatre.
