The system comprises two IL 15.1 full-range cabinets featuring extended low end response, two IL12.2IL and two 15.2 full-range cabinets, two IL 118 high-performance, direct-loaded subwoofers and two PR 112M compact full-range cabinets for stage foldback. Broadtech has a wealth of experience in the broadcast industry, having designed and installed audio systems for TV stations and video production studios in the past, so this was a slightly different challenge for the company.
"Zou County power plant theatre is a multipurpose venue which will host a lot of corporate meetings in addition to performing arts, concerts and theatrical productions," says Broadtech's chief engineer Zhang Zhi Wu. "For example, central government officials come regularly to visit this famous power plant, and are given speeches by the high ranking company officials. This theatre will be used to hold such events."
As for his choice of HK Audio loudspeakers, Zhang explains, "We recently installed HK Audio into a TV studio producing entertainment shows, which is being used for all sorts of music, speech, drama and other applications, and this installation was very successful. We decided to repeat this success by using HK Audio again, as the requirements for top sound quality and extreme versatility were almost identical in both places."
The Zou County power plant opened in 1983 and today boasts 2.54 million Kilowatts power generating capacity, with two 1 million Kilowatt super critical generators to be installed in the near future, making it the biggest power plant in Asia.
