Sound Acoustics Fit First T&M’s into Eastgate Centre
The new Eastgate Theatre & Arts Centre has opened in Peebles, following an audio installation by Sound Acoustics — which includes the first use of t&m loudspeakers in the UK.
Tommy Gorman’s Glasgow-based company won a competitive tender to fit a complete audio package into the converted church in the Scottish Borders — all of which was sourced from Fuzion plc (including the t&m range, which has just joined the product portfolio). The auditorium seats 244 in an in-the-round style presentation, with banked seating in the stalls, gallery centre, left and right.
The main system comprises six t&m 122 loudspeakers, suspended from the grid which overhangs the stage area (four servicing the front of stage area, and the other two outfills). These passive 2-way trapezoidal enclosures are equipped with a single 12in LF driver and 1.75in HF compression driver. For the stage area, Sound Acoustics have provided four Work WPL1 (12in + 1in) passive stage monitors. Both the FOH and monitor systems are powered by quantities of Crown Xs700 (2 x 450W/8 ohms) amplifiers.
Said Tommy Gorman: “This all adds up to a well-matched system. We are particularly happy with the t&m loudspeakers which offer good value for money in an aesthetic, traditional wooden enclosure. Everyone at the venue seems happy with our choice of components.”
The new Eastgate is fully accessible for people with disabilities and the theatre is equipped with an infra red system.
