Orchestra Hall installs suite of DiGiCo systems
Home to the Minnesota Orchestra, Orchestra Hall is a modernist landmark that signals classical music as more widely accessible than its popular perception. Inside, it uses a symmetrical ‘falling rock’ of 114 cubes on its ceiling and stage back wall and its balconies as an integrated diffusor. The result is an exceptional aural experience for its 2,089 seats.
That experience recently saw the completion of the installation of a suite of DiGiCo systems, creating a renewed audio infrastructure for the venue and its ensemble. This includes a Quantum338 at FOH, an SD12 96 for mixing orchestral and other performances for Minnesota Public Radio’s broadcasts, and an SD11i as an auxiliary mixer able to be deployed as required.
