PERTH, Australia – Vizcom Technologies recently integrated a VerTec subcompact line array system at the 575-seat Heath Ledger Theatre, part of the Theatre Centre of Western Australia. The VerTec system was sold through Jands, Harman's Australian distributor.
The Heath Ledger Theatre is a traditional proscenium arch stage, measuring 12 meters wide and 9 meters high. The proscenium opening can be minimized with a false proscenium and borders. The stage measures 25 meters from wall-to-wall and 18 meters from the back wall to the front edge of the forestage. There are also additional wing spaces backstage due mostly to the lack of any manual flying system at the stage deck level.
The new JBL VerTec VT4886 subcompact line arrays serve as the main left/right FOH speaker arrays at the theatre, and those are complemented by JBL VT4883 subcompact arrayable subwoofers on each side.
Graham Piper, technical manager at the State Theatre Centre, said the VerTec line arrays were chosen based on performance and price. "There's been nothing but a positive response to the JBL VerTec system," he added.
