▲The National Theater of Poland Teatr Wielki features
two auditoriums and a museum
※The same system was used for a
similar event held in Brazil.
The system includes the S-4000S-
3208 and S-1608 stage units along
with two M-400 consoles, one of
which serves as a backup unit. The
reasons for installing this system
were the ease of use and excellent
cost performance. Mark Simoni, the
mixing engineer for Lions games,
admits to being an old analog
guy. After testing the M-400
alongside other digital consoles,
he and the staff concluded that
they could operate the M-400 with
confidence. Improved sound quality
and the power to control a variety

of situations are among the many
advantages of this system. Simoni
also points out the ease of use, and
added, Everything is just a button
push away. The V-Mixing System is
not intimidating and it invites you to
put your hands on it.
The V-Mixing System was a
compelling choice that even
convinced a self-confessed old
analog guy, with its ease of use.
The 5th World Meeting of Families
this event. He told us why they chose
the V-Mixing System. We selected
this system for its flexibility, ease of
operation and system security. The
fact that the system is simple and
provides a high quality stable sound,
matched the fundamental philosophy
of our company.
Albert Naranjo, also with Apogee-
Telecom, spoke highly of the Digital
Snake. Setup was very easy thanks
to the flexibility of the Digital Snake.
If we had used another system, it
would have been more complicated.
With such a large scale installation,
the advantage of using the Digital
Snake is unlimited. It completely
satisfied all of our requirements and
expectations.
High quality sound is a must, but
having quick and flexible response
from setup to troubleshooting
is required to meet the needs of
any complex and large scale audio
system. The REAC concept is
both simple and powerful, and this
installation demonstrates how REAC
can meet these needs.
It also support REAC recording with
SONAR by Cakewalk. 24 microphones
are connected to the S-4000S-3208,
which is also used for output to the
speakers. The S-1608 is used for
wireless system input, and the analog
inputs and outputs of the M-400
are connected to a CD player and
external gear, etc.
Krystian Kołakowski explained the
reasons for and benefits of installing
the system:
Polish National Opera
We selected the V-Mixing System
because we wanted to consolidate
several different consoles into one
system. As a result, we were able
to install a high quality audio mixing
system at an affordable price.
Another advantage was REAC, which
enables high quality multi-track
recording with this system.
The high-quality sound of the
V-Mixing System made it the optimum
choice for the dignified stage of this
opera theater.
