Trantec S6000 System Stars in New Paris Musical Extravaganza
Adapted from Horace McCoy’s legendary novel – ‘They Shoot Horses don’t they?’ - the show is directed and produced by Robert Hossein. Set to take Paris by storm this Autumn, it features a 40-strong cast and six-piece orchestra.
Trantec’s head of R&D Richard Ganley collaborated with leading French rental company Dispatch from the outset to ensure that the system integrated seamlessly with Julius Tessarech’s sophisticated design. Working together the team ensured that the system met his exacting specifications.
The 40-channel S6000 system which has been deployed was specified because of its wide band frequency agility. Trantec supplied a system operating between 735-806 MHz. The possibility of operating on any frequency over such a wide operating range was seen as invaluable when this system was specified.
The system frequency plan was arranged in two sets, one of 16 and one of 24. This allowed Trantec to use two sets of narrow band antenna amplifiers, which counter possible intermodulation issues which may have occurred.
Sound designer Julius Tessarech commented: “I had heard and read about the S6000 and really wanted to use it on this show. Trantec’s team were great – they spent time going through the nuances of the system – providing the back-up the sound team needed to operate the system. They delivered the perfect system. This is a challenging production, which has been augmented by the S6000 clear sound and versatility. The miniature transmitter is also very popular with the cast.”
