Clear-Com intercom solutions have long been a go-to for The Public Theater, a means to ensure the behind-the-scenes technology for the stories they tell on stage is up to the task, now and for the future. In doing so, The Public Theater has recently implemented a new Clear-Com system to serve the multiple performance spaces in their Lower Manhattan headquarters on Lafayette Street at Astor Place in Manhattan.
One of the nation's first non-profit theaters, The Public Theater has supported emerging playwrights and performers for over 60 years, including the premier of Hamilton in 2015, and has won numerous awards, including six Pulitzer Prizes.
The project they're currently working on is a system designed to provide reliable comms throughout their headquarters' five theaters and their cabaret venue, Joe's Pub. The building wasn t meant to be a theater, explains Audio Supervisor, Malachy Kronberg. It's actually three buildings with the walls blown out in some areas the center (building) being the old Astor Library. The Luesther Theater's dressing rooms are in the basement, and the theater is on the third floor, which creates some interesting comms issues.
The end goal is to have full connectivity between the theaters, Kronberg continues from the dressing rooms in the basement on the south side of the building up to the theater on the third floor on the north side and never lose connectivity.
To achieve that, Kronberg worked closely with Clear-Com's James Schaller (Regional Sales Manager, Northeastern USA), ultimately designing multiple systems comprised of an Eclipse HX , with an E-IPA high-density IP interface card, FreeSpeak II beltpacks, and V-Series Iris and V-Series Desktop Panels. He adds that the intercom system in each theater will include the same elements, with some variances in terms of the number of FreeSpeak II beltpacks and V-Series panels deployed.
There was never any question of using a different manufacturer's technology, Kronberg continues, citing Clear-Com's service and support, the flexibility of their technology, and the ability to expand as their needs evolve. Those are top of the list for us. We've used Clear-Com devices in our theaters for years, so it's a natural fit.
I also have to mention how amazingly supportive Clear-Com has been throughout the project. James and the company have been great sources of information and partners. Before this, we'd r
