K-array Selected For Ancient Greek Amphitheater In Sicily

Il nostro tango per Borges, starring Giorgio Albertazzi and Mariangela D’Abbraccio, is a theatrical piece that was recently performed at the ancient Greek theatre of Tindari, an almost entirely preserved amphitheater in Messina, Sicily

Rental company Arkaservice was selected for its K-array system to provide sound and to produce an aesthetically homogeneous result without compromising the acoustic performance and the visual integrity of the theatre.

Salvatore Barone, audio engineer at Arkaservice knew he needed to obtain a uniform and consistent effect in the entire venue maintaining the original acoustics of the ancient theatre but modifying to avoid echoes or reverberation.

Barone planned for a left and right system with 8 floor monitors for five musicians, the actor and the singer.

He selected K-array a KR200S system with two KMT18 18-inch subwoofers paired with a pair of Kobra line array elements each because of its discreet, compact form and its true line array capabilities that achieves a minor difference of acoustic pressure between the front and back rows of the venue.

Both the director and the musicians were positively impressed by the size of the system compared to the sound quality and SPL produced, along with the short time required for the setup.
