Home to Asia’s largest ski resort and centred on a performing arts theatre, the Changbai Mountain International Tourism Resort has completed the first phase of its development. The RMB20bn (US$3.16bn) project is located on the border between China and North Korea, with the Chinese side a 494,000-acre nature reserve that is already a popular international tourist destination. The addition of 26 miles of ski runs and the Changbaishan Grand Theatre are expected to draw many more visitors
Built by the Beijing Aotewei Development Company, the theatre features a sophisticated audio systen, supplied and installed by Rightway Audio Consultants. Central to its operation are DiGiCo SD8 and SD10 mixing consoles, and five Apex Intelli-X² 48 system processors.
DiGiCo’s SD8 and SD10 cover all aspects FOH and monitoring for a wide variety of live event types. The 4-input/8-output Intelli-X² 48, meanwhile, provides full system management for comprehensive system alignment and EQ, including IIR and FIR-based crossovers.
‘Audiences will be visiting the theatre from across the world, so it is very important that everything is of the highest quality, to ensure that they want to visit again,’ says Rightway Business Development CoordinatoApril Fung. ‘We specified Apex and DiGiCo equipment because it delivers optimum audio quality and ensures the system can be used for any kind of production.
‘It is very important for the theatre to attract high-calibre performers. DiGiCo mixers are well-known and used on the highest profile shows, so they were an obvious choice,’ she adds. ‘The system is working perfectly and the theatre is very happy with the results.’
