Interactive performances
The audience can hear audio cues, dialogue or effects that make them more involved in the performance.
Wireless audio for theatre when speakers are not suitable
For theatre performances where the audience should hear dialogue, music or sound effects directly in the headset as part of the experience.
When headset audio adds an extra layer to theatre
This works when a regular performance needs audio that feels closer, more personal and more controlled for the audience.
Personal audience audio
Dialogue, music and sound effects can feel closer when the sound goes directly to each headset.
Sound without filling the room
The audience can hear important audio layers without filling the whole room with speaker sound.
One or more audio tracks
The production can use one shared audio track, or several tracks if the experience needs channel choice.
How the setup works
Start with the performance, then we plan the audio.
A theatre setup is not only about the number of headsets. We need to understand what the audience should hear, when the sound should happen, and what role it has in the performance.
01
Audience and duration
The audience size, performance length and number of shows in one day decide the number of headsets and the logistics.
02
Stage and interaction
Tell us where the audience is placed, and how the audio should affect the experience during the performance.
03
Audio sources and channels
We clarify if the audio comes from microphones, a mixer, a playback device or several audio tracks.
What we need from you
Describe the production, and we suggest the setup.
Send us brief information about the performance type, audience size, venue, audio sources and intended audience experience. Then we can recommend a setup that fits the need.
Performance type
Is it a regular stage production that needs an interactive audio layer?
Audience and shows
How many people will listen at the same time, how long is the performance, and how many shows are planned?
Stage and audience
Describe the venue, the stage and where the audience is placed during the performance.
Audio sources and tracks
Tell us if the sound comes from a microphone, mixer, playback device or several separate audio tracks.
Practical delivery
Headsets are usually handed out at the entrance and collected after the performance. Transmitter placement and channel choice are agreed in advance, so the production avoids unnecessary technical issues.
Frequently asked questions
Can the audience wear headsets throughout a full performance?
Yes. The headsets are light and can be used for a full performance. The battery normally lasts 18-20 hours, so the same headsets can be used for long shows or several performances in one day.
Can this be used in a regular theatre performance?
Yes. It can be used when a regular theatre performance needs an interactive audio layer. We clarify the stage, the audience, the audio sources and the intended experience before we recommend a setup.
Can we use several audio tracks in the same performance?
Yes. The system has up to 12 channels. This can be used for several languages, different audience groups or separate audio tracks when the performance needs it.
Does it work for outdoor theatre?
Yes. The setup can be used indoors and outdoors. Outdoor use must be planned around the area, distance, weather and where the audience will be.
