September's devastating typhoon caused substantial damage to the tent while on tour, and the Cadac F-Type console - the first console supplied by Dream Sound as the local Cadac distributor - was shipped back to the UK for a thorough check as a result. It has subsequently been given a clean bill of health despite the battering it received, and is due to return to Korea ready for the show's new season back at the Big Top Theater in December.
Dream Sound's Jin Yoon Cho commented: "We are very proud to be appointed as Cadac's Korean distributor. Our company has been established since 1999, and we have built up a high degree of technological and market expertise that will contribute to achieve wider success for Cadac here. Over the years, we have worked on some 15 major installations in the country, ranging from the Sejong, and the Uijeongby Art Centers to the Seoul Women's University.
"We have two principal routes to market for Cadac - through our company Korea Seoul Sound and through Dream Sound. Korea Seoul Sound focuses on the live sound sector, and we will be promoting the R-Type, J-Type and F-Type into this market. Dream Sound will concentrate on the compact S-Type, which we believe is ideally suited for church installations and medium-sized arts centres. This is an exciting opportunity for us, and we will be working hard to create a successful profile for Cadac. The Cats production represented a marvellous starting point, and we have been greatly impressed at how well-built the J-Type console is - surviving with just a few scratches where many other products might have failed completely!"
The production of Cats currently touring Korea has been produced by local Korean producers, Seol & Co. Really Useful Group Australia facilitated the physical build of the production, with a combined creative team from Australia and the UK.
