d&b audiotechnik for the Østre Gasværk Theatre
The Østre Gasværk Theatre in Copenhagen is an extraordinary new performance space which uses the power of d&b audiotechnik’s Soundscape system, to take the concept of immersive theatre to a whole new level. Thanks to Soundscape, each spoken word, musical note, and sound effect seems to emanate from the precise location of its source. What’s more, the system gives sound designers an unmatched creative flexibility, enabling them to use d&b Soundscape not just as a straightforward sound reinforcement tool, but as a powerful enhancement to the performance itself, and the audience’s experience of it.
The Østre Gasværk installation is a remarkable achievement – an immersive theatre space which aims for visual and aural perfection. Not only does it include Denmark’s first immersive theatre sound installation, but it is also worthy of recognition as part of a landmark in theatre design. The main challenge was the acoustics. The cavernous, circular building with its hard reflective surfaces and domed timber roof presented an acoustician’s nightmare. The task presented to audio integrator Alfa Audio was to design and install a complete 360° immersive audio system. This is a unique theatre project, in terms of its special architecture, its inherent challenges, its ambitious vision and its innovative solutions. The complementary technologies – of which audio and visual innovations play an essential part – together result in a truly spectacular theatre experience for audiences.
