Fredericia Musical Theatre
Fredericia Musical Theatre has firmly established itself as a leading player on the Danish musical scene with impressively large productions and a repertoire that includes a wide range of original audience successes as well as productions from abroad. Their annual sales of more than 150,000 tickets testify to their ability to create innovative, high-quality performances that set a high standard for Danish musical productions.
Meyer Sound's speaker system was an obvious choice when, in 2016, Stouenborg, in collaboration with Fredericia Musical Theatre's team, was tasked with designing a sound system capable of handling creative and complex sound designs and addressing some of the challenges at the time, such as varying sound levels in the hall. Additionally, there was a desire to work artistically with designs that could easily be taken on tour to other theatres in the country.
The D’Mitri system is characterized by its advanced real-time sound processing and ability to work in surround sound, which opens up countless possibilities for creating unique soundscapes for each performance. With the right speaker placement and sound distribution, it has been possible to create a consistent sound level with only ±1dB difference in sound pressure from the front to the back row—without distortion. This means that the sound remains transparent with high speech intelligibility no matter where you are in the hall. It also means that relatively high sound levels can be used without the audience feeling that the sound is too loud.
The system is easy to adjust when working with new formats and creating spectacular sound environments that support each performance's unique soundscape. When the shows go on tour, the sound design can be adapted to fit a new venue through processing. This allows the magic of the performances to be recreated with great precision when they are performed at other venues.
