The Yun Hall Culture and Art Centre in Shanghai,is is to be a cultural landmark, hosting art exhibitions, cultural performances, group activities and reading space. A pair of a pair of DiGiCo Quantum 338 consoles form part of its high-end technical infrastructure, designed and installed by DiGiCo distributor, Rightway Audio Consultants.
Located in the Songjiang District of Shanghai, and designed by Xing Tonghe, chief architect at Shanghai Xian Dai Architecture, the Yun Hall Culture and Art Centre adopts the ‘new Chinese’ aesthetic style. The 1,200-capacity venue includes the Yun Theatre, which occupies approximately 10,000sq-m, and can meet the needs of a variety of performances including dance, opera, drama, symphonic concerts, Chinese opera and variety shows.
To complement a substantial L-Acoustics sound reinforcement system, Rightway Audio Consultants (Racpro) recommended DiGiCo consoles, specifying two Quantum 338s, their size, the provision of a trio of screens and 38 touch-sensitive faders making it perfect for the theatre’s engineers. The consoles are situated in a control room at the rear of the auditorium for the in-house engineers and those from visiting productions to mix from.
‘As the venue doesn’t have a separate monitor desk, the Q338’s Nodal Processing is also a big advantage,’ says Sound Technology Director, Fang Hongsen. ‘And real-time data synchronisation ensures stable audio output during performances.’
The Yun Theatre’s premier event was the G60 Shanghai Songjiang Spring Festival Concert, presented by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, with traditional pieces such as ‘Spring Festival Overture’ and ‘The Butterfly Lovers’, as well as excerpts from ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Fathers’, a specially commissioned work to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Part of China, and the first movement of ‘The Light of G60’, a symphony composed by a renowned composer Qiang Weihao.
‘The advanced design of the Q338 fits perfectly with the technical vision for Yun Hall Culture and Art Centre,’ says Racpro Brand Manager, Li Feng. ‘We have had great feedback from the venue and we are very proud to have been involved in such a prestigious project.’
