Solotech – A History With Newcastle Theatre Royal

In this article

Continuing a long standing relationship, Solotech has completed the latest audio upgrades at Newcastle Theatre Royal including a DiGiCo Quantum 225 digital console.

Before Christmas we caught up with Stuart Middleton, Sound #1 at the Theatre Royal Newcastle. After starting out in TV, Stuart joined the theatre ‘by mistake’ twenty-four years ago. Since then, he’s loved every minute and most recently ran sound on the annual pantomime, Pinocchio, an amazing show with West End production values.

The audio is a huge part of this and in his near quarter of a century in the theatre Stuart has been a key driver in how the system has evolved. In this video he breaks down how Solotech have worked with him over the last sixteen years, upgrading the PA while at the same time ensuring that the architecture and décor of the beautiful Victorian building has been sensitively retained.

Enhancing the Live Experience at Marshall Studios

In this article

Solotech has installed an L-Acoustics solution in the live room at Marshall Studios part of the legendary Marshall operation in Milton Keynes England.

Marshall started out simply because musicians needed amplifiers. Keen to honour that heritage the company continues to support both up and coming, and established musicians. Over the years they have set up their own record label, live agency and most recently a recording studio in 2021.

Within the studio facility is a live room, a 250 capacity venue to put on showcases, promotional gigs and do video shoots. Marshall soon realised the venue needed a high-end audio package that would provide a quality in line with the company’s own audio standards.

Studio Manager Adam Bear took time out to explain the story behind the install, the choice of equipment and the advantages of working with Solotech.

The Solotech Package

Main L-R Hangs – L-Acoustics A-10 Fixed Curvature Line Array
Subwoofers – L-Acoustics KS21
FOH Console – DiGiCo Quantum 255
