LONDON – At London’s Royal Opera House – one of the most famous opera theatres in the world and home of Britain’s prestigious Royal Opera and Royal Ballet companies – Britannia Row Productions’ Outline Butterfly was used as the "Front of House" system for sound reinforcement at the BAFTA ceremony, the British equivalent of the Oscars, awarded to personalities from the cinema and television world since 1947.
To ensure audio coverage for the audience, 20 Outline Butterfly C.D.H. 483 Hi-Packs and four Subtech 218 were flown (respectively ten and two per side), the latter for the ultra-low frequencies. Six more Butterfly C.D.H. 483 were used as ground stacked systems.
The entire system was controlled by a Dolby Lake processor and powered by Outline’s new "T Nine" digital power amplifiers (2 x 4800W on 2 Ohms): the latter weigh in at just 12 kilos and only occupy the space of a single rack unit. The FOH Engineer for the event was Derrick Zeiba.
The cinema awards are called the "Orange British Academy Film Awards," and once again at this year’s edition, numerous Hollywood stars walked down the famous red carpet.
