  Listen to Auracast Infinitum @ The Dorfman Theatre, National Theatre

  15th December
  11am - 12pm

  Access systems are a big part of our world, making sure productions are accessible to all members of the public.

  The National Theatre have recently installed Auracast Infinium in the Dorfman Theatre for their audience access requirements.

  Auracast is a new Bluetooth audio technology that allows one device to broadcast high-quality audio to an unlimited number of other devices,

  like headphones, earbuds, or hearing aids. It broadcasts audio streams similar to a radio station, which can be joined without pairing, and requires Bluetooth 5.2 or later to function.

  We are offering this opportunity to have a look and a listen

  to this new system with their Building Systems and Compliance Manager Ben Steinitz.

  If anyone has their own Auracast-compatible headphones to bring them along.

  audio systems work, midi sound effects show control, an understanding of Qlab show audio programming, radio microphone and basic comms equipment techniques.

  The aim is to give Stage Managers more confidence in understanding the "black arts" that lie within sound and communications - to empower them to not be fearful of cross-over roles and to enlighten them has two how best react when things don't go quite as originally planned!

  "Sound For Stage Managers" will bring a higher level of understanding when operating sound for a play, for a Tech ASM covering sound roles on a musical, or the ever-increasing demands of Stage Management in the rehearsal room or live event.

  Hands-on experience is an essential aspect with Orbital's training courses, which include guest experts and significant use of equipment guided by our experienced team.
