Mariona Escoda, winner of the first edition of Eufòria, the popular Catalan talent show on TV3, offered a spectacular performance on the 20th of May at the theater named La Passió d’Esparreguera. This event was a perfect opportunity to highlight the latest installation of Amate Audio systems in one of the largest and most emblematic theaters in Spain’s Catalonia region.
With a capacity for 1,800 people and a 15m wide stage, the theater has completely renovated its sound system installation, relying on Amate Audio for this significant investment. This high quality installation ensures an exceptional live experience for both theatrical performances and musical events, consolidating the theatre’s commitment to providing a superior acoustic environment.
The acoustic conditioning of the hall became a key challenge: A thorough analysis revealed an unwanted acoustic reflection on the center of the side walls, particularly affecting the clarity of the voice in the central area of the hall. This issue was resolved by strategically placing acoustic panels in the affected walls.
Equipment used:
24x N208 line array: 8 units on each side of the stage, providing high fidelity music and voice reproduction, plus a central cluster of 8 units exclusively for vocal reproduction, reinforcing voice presence towards the audience.
6x X18T subwoofer (3 per side), to balance the number of line arrays placed in PA.
8x N6P as front fill, ensuring an even sound coverage.
2x LMS608 DSP to manage the equipment.
2x HD1200 amplifier for the passive front fill.
