In this scenario, POLARIS touch takes over as the main console mixing the wireless microphones and orchestra and the CAS Mix, permanently installed in the sound control room, handles the playbacks. The CAS Mix was revised for this purpose and upgraded from four to six DSP boards.
Another innovation at Kammerspiele is that CAS Mix and POLARIS touch use the same DSP unit. This mode of operation is possible as the CAS Mix DSP unit can be accessed in parallel by up to four control surfaces.
In addition to the installation of the entire audio technology the MEDIAGROUP contract also encompassed the fibre-optic backbone for lighting and data.
The new technology has been in operation since mid-October. Kammerspiele chose the musical "Catch me if you can" as the first production in which the new operating scheme with CAS Mix and POLARIS touch working in tandem proved to be a winning combination.
