Bussum’s Theatre Spant! has taken a significant step forward in the audio quality of its sound with the installation of a new L-Acoustics Kara Iii – part of a wider renovation that aims to improve experiences across the venue’s diverse programme of events.

(Pic: Peter Baas Fotografie)‘We recognised the need to update our 20-year-old system, especially to address dispersion issues, as we’d hear from audience in the front rows that the sound was too aggressive, but those in the balcony had trouble hearing,’ explain Jan Willem van Voorst and Frans Grolle, Audio Technicians at Theatre Spant! ‘Our goal was to ensure consistent, high-quality audio throughout the entire space.’

A cornerstone of Netherlands’ cultural mission, the venue’s requirements were comprehensive – improved dispersion, appropriate sound pressure levels, and accurate reproduction across the audio spectrum. Importantly, the new system needed to be sufficiently versatile to handle everything from corporate events with multiple headsets to theatrical performances and concerts.

After careful consideration and a demonstration organised with L-Acoustics Certified Provider Distributor Fairlight, the L-Acoustics Kara IIi system emerged as the preferred choice. The teams collaborated closely, using L-Acoustics Soundvision software to design a solution tailored to Theatre Spant!’s specific needs.

The new set-up features LR line arrays, each comprising two SB18 IIi subwoofers and eight Kara IIi enclosures. Additional components include KS28 subwoofers and X12 in-fills on stage, four 5XT speakers for front fill, and strategically placed 5XT in fill behind the balcony light coves.

‘The installation process was smooth and professional,’ van Voorst notes. ‘The Fairlight and L-Acoustics teams worked well with our in-house technicians, paying close attention to details like amplifier placement and connectivity. This has resulted in a system that’s both powerful and user-friendly.’

‘We’re very pleased with the results,’ van Voorst concludes. ‘The new system meets our expectations for both in-house productions and external events. It’s a significant step forward in our ability to provide high-quality audio experiences for all our visitors.’
