SOPRON, Hungary – The Petofi Theater, located in this city only 60 km from Vienna, was ready for a new sound system. IFK, HK Audio's Hungarian distributor, which happens to be located in the same town, won the bid with a proposed HK Audio CADIS system.
The HK Audio CADIS System, developed especially for installation in theaters, trade shows, sports arenas and ballrooms, proved well-suited to the Vienna Secession styled Petõfi Theater.
With a heritage that goes back two centuries, the Petõfi Theater is located in the middle of the Old City of Sopros and holds an audience of about 550. Performances range from classical and modern drama to comedy and musicals.
With demand for more and more modern programming, those managing the theater felt that it was time to install an equally modern sound reinforcement system.
The new system is made up of six HK Audio CADIS CAD 208 cabs as the center cluster, two ConTour Series CT 112 12"/1.4" mid/high units and CT 118 Subs on both the left and the right.
Supplementing this main system are four IL 8.1 8"/1" cabinets from the HK Audio Installation Line as sidefills and four ConTour Series CT 108 loudspeaker cabinets as low-profile monitors. With their output levels and linearity, the CT 108s are especially well-suited for speech reinforcement in theaters.
"The house engineers at Theater Sopron were very actively engaged in the installation, setup and fine-tuning of the system," noted József Pál from IFK. "The theater staff and management are likewise very satisfied with it. The rich, full sound and the high level of speech intelligibility have won everyone's heart. Nobody misses the old system. The theater administration now has us on their radar together with HK Audio, and we're looking forward to other interesting projects we can do for them."
