Dorothy Winstone Centre

Technical

Stage Sound

Full concert PA sound system is provided by a flown Line Array system and Subwoofer, DVD/CD Player and 32 channel Digital Mixer Console. If the mixer is used our resident sound technician must be hired to operate. Should an external sound technician be approved by the Theatre Manager, a bond of $500 must be paid by the hirer in advance.

However, it is mandatory the hirer contracts directly our preferred technician (see DWC Contacts) when full sound is hired, to ensure you get the best results.
