Germany - The Thalia Theater in Hamburg, one of Germany's oldest, has chosen an Alcons QR36 system as its main sound reinforcement system. After many tests and measurements, Florian Scheunemann, head of sound department and Tobias Wursthorn, planning-assistant of the theatre, decided to go for QR36 pro-ribbon loudspeakers.

Scheunemann reports: "Soon after the first tests, it became clear what a remarkable resolution a pro-ribbon system has, as well as how exact the dispersion of the QR's really is. The refined architecture of the venue does not allow for every sound system design, as the ground floor seating needs to be covered without any interference. The QR's seemed to be the perfect fit."

Scheunemann continues: "Absolutely convincing, however, was the throw of the brilliant ribbon highs, that made a delay line obsolete. For a further system extension, we have also planned QR36 columns in the three balconies to obtain the same obstruction-free sound projection."
