Beijings National Grand Theatre installs Pyramix DXD system
Published: ASIA
CHINA: Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, also known as the National Grand Theatre, has installed a high-resolution, DXD-capable Pyramix system from Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies.
Situated at the heart of Beijing's old town and known locally as 'the egg' due to its striking ellipsoid titanium and glass shell, the National Grand Theatre is made up of three performance spaces: the Opera hall, the Theatre hall, and the Music hall.
This is the second time the Theatre has opted for a Pyramix system. In 2006, its management installed the first system to allow the audio from performances to be recorded and archived. The new high-resolution Pyramix workstation has been installed with an SSL console in a control room beneath the Music hall, and can record at sample rates of up to 384kHz if required.
‘The Chinese government is committed to the highest standards of quality in its national arts institutions, and the additional purchase of a further high-resolution Pyramix DAW for the National Grand Theatre is a testament to this policy,’ commeted Dominique Brulhart, who oversaw the installation for Merging Technologies.
