MOLFETTA, Bari, Italy – The Miragica theme park in southern Italy has been equipped with a permanent installation of Outline audio gear for many of its rides, peformance venues and other attractions.
The 100,000-square-meter theme park, open eight months a year, offers visitors a variety of shows and rides, some of which are "firsts" – including a Launch Coaster and a 4D cinema, which are the largest in Italy.
Rides include the "Torre di Caduta," a 50-meter drop tower the Diskò Coaster, with a rotating platform that oscillates in all directions, and adventurous water rides. Shows include performances by the Stuntmen, and by visiting artists in the indoor 700-seat theatre (Gran Teatro) and a large outdoor theatre as well.
The permanently installed sound reinforcement systems throughout Miragica are by Outline, whose staff also provided direct consultancy for the audio project's design.
The main loudspeaker system in the theater consists in eight Outline Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. (four per side) and two Subtech 218 SP subwoofers (all self-powered enclosures). Four compact (self-powered) Micra II SP cover the front rows of the audience and four (self-powered) H.A.R.D. 115 SP are used as stage monitors.
For the Launch Coaster, eight enclosures from the DVS series (DVS 8) and two Outline T4 power amplifiers are installed.
Ten more DVS 8s are used to reinforce the sound for attractions such as the Fiume Ride, Torre di Caduta, Diskò Coaster, Spinning Coaster and the 4D Cinema.
At the Dancing Fountains and the Show Area, there are four Outline Kanguro 1215 NET SP (a patented system consisting in a 15" sub able to contain another enclosure fitted with a 12" mid-woofer and 1.75" compression driver).
For the restaurant, rehearsal rooms, Fast Food Court, bars and shops there are 26 Outline IS 8 enclosures, eight ultra-compact IS 6T enclosures, eight ceiling-recessed IC 5T loudspeakers and three Outline (four-channel) D4-3K power amplifiers.
Outline gear is also installed at other theme parks, including Gardaland in Northern Italy and others in various countries, enabling the company to provide acoustic consultancy directly and tailor the audio solution to Miragica's varied needs.
The Outline equipment was installed and fine-tuned by Giancarlo Paladini of GP Tecnologie, another Brescia company.
