BLOOMSBURY THEATRE

IN BRIEF

Bloomsbury Theatre Re-Opens with HALO-C from EM Acoustics

First opened in 1968 as the Central Collegiate Building Auditorium, The Bloomsbury Theatre, London, showcases the best of theatre, music, dance, and everything in between. In 2018, 50 years after its very first performance, the building reopened its doors following a major renovation project to update its main auditorium, which now boasts more than 500 seats. The final part of the renovation was the installation and commissioning of an EM Acoustics HALO-C PA system by theatre specialists, Autograph Sound. Adam Broom from Autograph explained: “We predicted the space in EASE, re-hung and re-tuned the PA, added a pair of EMS-126s, and upgraded the system processing to Q-SYS as it offers a more flexible and unified control platform that suits the venue’s mixed programme and changing technical staff.” The L-C-R system comprises three HALO-C per side for the stalls and a centre cluster of seven HALO-C supplemented by one EMS-118 subwoofer per side. Four EMS-61s serve as front fills. Two EMS-126s serve as the circle L-R system with a further two EMS-81X as circle fills.
