London Symphony Orchestra Upgrading Wireless Communications With Clear-Com

LSO deploying FreeSpeak II digital wireless intercom platform in adapting production capabilities at home venue St. Luke’s to handle a hybrid mix of in-person, venue-based events and remote livestreams.

The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) is currently updating its home venue of St. Luke’s with wireless intercom systems from Clear-Com to help technical crews with the goal of working more efficiently, saving time and reducing production costs.

Like much of the live event industry, the LSO and St. Luke’s are adapting their production capabilities to accommodate a hybrid mix of in-person, venue-based events and remote livestreams, with the comms upgrade based on Clear-Com’s FreeSpeak II digital wireless intercom platform.

“The system provides a full feature set and is easy to expand. Future plans include integration with Clear-Com’s HelixNet and LQ Series of IP Interfaces, with the potential addition of the Agent-IC Mobile App for remote production,” says Ben Tredwell, Project Development Manager at system integrator Solotech in the UK. “These additions will fulfill their existing comms requirements and future-proof the venue. Tredwell has a long-standing relationship with Clear-Com and has integrated a range of the company’s products in many venues.

Solotech adds that the modular FreeSpeak II system is a good match for the venue, offering the flexibility for cost-effective expansion and allowing them to configure a system by installing only the components the technical team needs most immediately, with plans of futher expansion to follow. The symphony has recently been doing more web-streamed events and as these have grown in scale and complexity, it became evident that an upgrade to a more fully featured communications system was needed to facilitate higher quality performances, ease of use and scalability to accommodate future growth.

“The flexibility and modularity of the Clear-Com technologies are allowing LSO and St. Luke’s to manage their installation budget by phasing in the new system at their own pace, while continuing to work seamlessly with their FreeSpeak II system,” concludes Tredwell. The Solotech installation team worked alongside the LSO to ensure a smooth transition to the new system and will continue doing so in the next phases of the comms system upgrade process.
