Jersey Opera House puts Optimus Red in the spotlight – Case Study

When the audience sits in the beautiful auditorium of Jersey Opera House, they have very little idea of the technology that goes into giving them the ultimate live show experience.

Whether they have come to see stand-up comedian Kevin Bridges or a full stage production of New Jersey Nights, the quality and right level of sound are absolutely crucial.

Jersey Opera House Technical Manager Chris Wink has used Cirrus products for a number of years to monitor and record sounds level within the auditorium for both quality and H&S regulations. When he needed to upgrade he chose the Cirrus Optimus Red sound level meter.

It gives Chris and his team the very latest digital technology and industrial design, proving ideal for his specific type of noise measurement needs in a work place that relies on pitch perfect sound for every performance.

Obviously we need to comply with all the health and safety regulations but we also need to respond to customer comments about the quality of sound during performances, explained Chris.

Jersey Opera House is in use for approximately 70% of the year – for at least 4 days every week and features every type of show from full on rock bands to one-man performances. In every show the sound is critical for the audience’s enjoyment. We have to comply with all the guidelines and we want to make sure the noise is at a comfortable level for the audience, for example, if it’s a children’s show then we want to ensure that noise levels are much lower than for an adult audience.€
