The MKV RV uses unique SoundField technology to generate both stereo and 5.1 surround from a 'single point source' and will be a useful addition to the ROH's already extensive microphone collection. The ROH, now under the leadership of ex-BBC man Tony Hall, is reporting an increase in revenue and the aim is to bring its performances to a wider audience group.
Laila Jantunen, SoundField sales, commented: "There have been discussions about the possibility of relaying ROH performances to outside venues. If this does materialize, the MKV system would be ideally suited to capture the ambience of the Royal Opera House, particularly in surround sound."
