Dance Academy Thanks
to the efforts of Phoenix Audio and Lighting
Technology
- Turbosound's exclusive distributor for the Chinese
territories - our products are being specified for a rapidly
growing range of installations across the
country. Phoenix
Audio has been working with Turbosound for less than two
years, and in that relatively short time has secured many
prestigious contracts and completed numerous installations,
including Club Tango. Featuring
QLight and TCS loudspeakers, Phoenix Audio's other
recent contracts within the Beijing area have included new
sound systems for a live venue at the Beijing Dance Academy
and the China National Children's Art Theatre, while in
central China, projects have included the Nanhua Grand
Theatre, and the Grand China Club in Changsa. QLight
enclosures were also specified for another central-China
project, at the Grand China Club in Changsha city. The club
is primarily a live performance venue, hosting events that
cover a variety of styles and genres. A Turbosound-based
system had been requested by the club's owner, who wanted to
equip his venue with a high-intelligibility system, and
Phoenix Audio supplied four TQ-315 loudspeakers for the
installation, controlled by an LMS-D4 loudspeaker management
system. These
recent successes for Phoenix Audio all feature new venues
and customers experiencing Turbosound installations for the
first time, with the breadth of projects in China reflecting
the close relationships that Phoenix Audio has formed with
venue owners and contractors across the country.

The
Beijing Dance Academy has been established for over fifty
years and is China's leading national training facility for
ballet and dance artists. It is also one of the largest
educational establishments of its type in the world. The
contract involved the equipping and installation of a new
system for the Academy's live performance venue, the Salon
Stage. Phoenix Audio worked closely with local contractor
Beijing Dawen Stage Equipment Company, who specified a
TCS-based system for a high-clarity result that would meet
the Academy's budget. The contractor installed a total of
fourteen TCS loudspeakers, including TCS-56, TCS-59 and
TCS-118 units, plus TCS-12M wedges for stage
monitoring.
Within
the arts sector, the Beijing Dawen Stage Equipment Company
was also responsible for installing a TCS-based solution for
the China National Children's Art Theatre (CNCAT). A
national-level facility operated by the country's Ministry
of Culture, the CNCAT boasts a long and successful track
record of playwriting and performance for children. Founded
in the mid 1950s, it has been responsible for creating some
130 new productions, and giving many thousands of
performances for the country's children - both in Beijing
and on tour. The CNCAT's performance venue required an
improved sound system, to replace an existing design, and
engineers at Beijing Dawen Stage Equipment specified
eighteen TCS units, to achieve the necessary quality and
coverage within the theatre. Completing the project last
year, the contractor installed four TCS-56 and TCS-118
units, plus six TCS-59 systems and four TCS-12M monitors.
During
2004, Phoenix Audio continued the theatrical theme into
central China, with the theatre-meets-nightclub project at
the Nanhua Grand Theatre, in Hunan Province. Involving
self-powered QLight enclosures, the installation was
carried by Hunan Tianma Sci-tech, with the company's Zhou
Xiangyang specifying four TQ-440SP units, plus four TQ-425SP
subs. The venue was attracted by the sound quality that
could be achieved by the QLight loudspeakers in the
theatre-style environment, and was keen to select a system
that reflected its quality image and reputation.
