Orbital Sales up-grade Riverside Studios' sound system

Riverside Studios announce a major technical refurbishment program for sound

One of London's flagship cultural venues Riverside Studios is pleased to announce a major technical refurbishment program facilitated by a UK Arts Council grant.

Featuring as a key element, a new Logic Systems sound rig has been supplied and commissioned by theatre specialists Orbital Sound.

Orbital's Head of Sales Tom Byrne collaborated with Riverside's Technical Manager, Barbara Egervary to supply a system that met her specifications to augment the theatre's capacity to host a variety of advanced productions, including an expanding repertoire of international work.

The system supplied by Orbital comprises 4 x Logic System LS15 Tops and 2 x Logic System B1Subs, which is run through a 24 channel Allen & Heath FOH mixing console with BSS EQ and speaker management.

The Logic LS range is designed and built from the ground up for installation use and delivers a large sound from a small box. Very light and portable it fits with Riverside Studio's requirements for a rig that can be moved between its theatre spaces. Additionally, it has the flexibility to be easily scaled up or down according to a production's needs.

Riverside's Barbara Egervary said:

We chose a Logic Systems speaker coupled with Allen & Heath console all supplied from Orbital Sales because it is flexible, portable and cost effective. We are absolutely delighted that the Arts Council has recognised the importance of high quality sound. The system has already proved its worth during previews of our current production -Treatment Theatre's, Who Killed Mr Drum. We are delighted with the package and confident it will make a big difference to the venue's production levels.
