These feeds are brought into SSL and Yamaha preamplifiers where they’re
translated into Dante-native channels. These Dante feeds then head to Cisco and
Dell switch infrastructure across two buildings, and then routed to a Solid State Logic
System T mixer that allows for broadcast-specific processing. The audio feeds are
then delivered out to two locations: to the broadcast mix for live playout via a live
production system, and to the other performers via headphones.
“With Dante we were able to deliver the correct mix to the different rooms with an
imperceptible level of latency,” Hepple says. “Our conductor went into rehearsals on
day one, and within 20 bars he said he was ready to go. This is someone who has
decades of experience in the classical performance space, and it was an immediate
acceptance of the new setup.”
Despite the unique visual—the setup across four different rooms—the production is
a seamless performance.
