ALAMEDA, USA 15, January 2024 This past October, the theatrical immersive experience, Free your Mind, debuted in the United Kingdom, and utilized a Clear-Com system to optimize the workflow of their A-List creative team. Mounted in Factory International's new cultural venue, Aviva Studios in Manchester, Free Your Mind centered around the classic sci-fi film The Matrix and was produced by a world renowned creative team including Director Danny Boyle, Producer Tracey Seaward, Choreographer Kenrick H20 Sandy, Composer Michael Mikey J Asante, Writer Sabrina Mahfouz and Set Designer Es Devlin. The show s complexity, the number of departments, and the expectations of the creative team required robust intercom a challenge championed by Clear-Com. When you're working with directors and creators on this level, they're used to a certain standard, said production sound engineer David Gregory. That standard applies to every element of production technology deployed on Free Your Mind, including intercom, which, given the complexity of this production, needed to be expansive.

For channel count and reliability in a frequency-rich environment, the V-Series panels, in conjunction with FreeSpeak II digital wireless system, provided a solid basis for expanding the venue s existing system. Gregory added that with the number of channels and FreeSpeak II, all we had to do was upscale the rig to accommodate everybody.

Sound design for the show was by multi-Tony and Olivier award-winning Garreth Fry, whose work includes the V&A's landmark David Bowie is exhibition and the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The intercom system designed by Fry was then implemented by Gregory and included an Eclipse HX-Delta matrix intercom system frame (outfitted with an E-IPA-HX card), FreeSpeak II digital wireless, and V-Series Iris User Panels.

Fry's work designing the intercom system for Free Your Mind had unique challenges as a show due to its immersive nature and moving parts. Due to the complexity of the show, the team needed top-of-the-line equipment to succeed.

My job was purely to implement comms. Gregory continued. He noted that his previous work with both Boyle and Fry gave him clear idea of the level of flexibility and functionality necessary for intercom. Danny came in with basically the same team that did the 2012 Olympics, and they have certain requirements. Gregory shared that because there are so many different intrinsic parts (to the show) things need to happe
