As part of the redevelopment, a new sound system was installed into the main house, which is a 468 seat auditorium. The installation of the system was by Marquee installation and Duran Audio UK supplied with two AXYS Scope T2115, two AXYS Scope T2112 (Both three-way full range loudspeakers) and two AXYS B-07 (18" Subwoofers) for the venue.
The AXYS loudspeakers were chosen by former Sherman Cymru head of sound Gareth Evans. "After auditioning a number a different systems within the main theatre, the choice to go with the AXYS system was clear. The speakers in the system offered a manageable, predictable and highly defined quality of audio which would mean a great deal of flexibility from a small number of units."
Evans worked closely with Chris Full (who started his career in sound at the Sherman back in the 80's) on the loudspeaker design to deliver a system that would provide even coverage of this very wide single rake auditorium.
The AXYS T-2112 & T2115 loudspeakers are full range three-way loudspeakers with built in amplification and DSP while the B-07 is a single 18" subwoofer with built in amplification and DSP. These loudspeakers have recently featured on productions that include On a Clear Day at the St James Theatre, NY and Misterman at the National Theatre, London.
