In the Roundhouse

On the eve of staging the BBC Electric Proms 2009, the Camden Roundhouse has commissioned a Martin Audio dedicated cinema system for its 102-seat studio theatre.

The venue ordered three Martin Audio Screen 3s as a conventional L/C/R system, along with eight Effect 3Rs as a cinema surround-sound, along with a Screen Sub1A (1 x 18”) from Autograph Sales.

Purpose designed for screening rooms, the Screen 3 is a three-way system with dedicated mid-range and high frequency sections, while the Effect 3R two-way passive system is a reduced-height enclosure specifically made for screening rooms with low ceilings such as this, to ensure that it can still be optimally installed at the correct level.

The space now boasts a motorised drop-down, micro-perforated screen, retractable seating, stage drapes and a powerful single-chip DLP HD projector and processor, which enable all formats to be screened.

The technical upgrade, says the Roundhouse, will enable the venue to meet its remit to provide an educational programme to support workshops in new media, broadcast and all elements of the performing and visual arts.
