As a Main Yamaha Commercial Audio Dealer, Orbital has championed digital FOH solutions in theatre since the launch of the PM1D in 2000. Following its successful debut in London's Sadlers Wells on the RSC's production - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the companies continued commitment to the PM1D has revolutionised the potential of audio on contemporary musical productions in the UK.
Theatre sound specialist Orbital is pleased to announce that seven Yamaha PM1D's are currently in use from their rental stock on major London West End Musicals, including Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest production - The Woman In White. This musical adaptation of Wilkie Collin's renowned Victorian novel stars Michael Crawford and Maria Freidman and opens at The Palace Theatre in October.
Freelance Sound Designer Mick Potter who first specified the PM1D for Andrew Lloyd Webber's blockbuster musical Bombay Dreams has again opted for the console to drive The Woman in White.
His configuration at the FOH position involves one PM1D cascaded to a Yamaha DM2000 giving 160 mix channels. A second PM1D, running in mirror mode, allows Mick to make complex adjustments to the mix without interfering with Sound Operator, Tim Clarke's concentration. While Tim mixes the show on one surface Mick and his production team adjust settings and levels in the background on the second surface.
