Songcheng Group romances Chinese audiences with KV2

Theme park group and performing arts company the Songcheng Group has chosen KV2 Audio sound systems for six of its 10 “Romance” theatres, most of which are situated in theme parks of the same name across the country.

The group owns 74 theatres with a total capacity of 175,000, exceeding the combined amount of seats in London’s West End and on Broadway in New York. The Romance series of large-scale productions has more than 8,000 performances per year and an annual audience of over 35 million.

Songcheng’s Romance theatres are high-capacity, Vegas-style venues that have been designed to host large-scale productions, with complex sets designed for maximum visual impact. Each show is specific to the region in which it is staged, re-enacting local cultural legends in song, dance and acrobatics.

Songcheng Performance opted for KV2 Audio systems based around the flagship VHD Series of high performance point source systems for the main FOH system of the theatres, supplemented by the scalable ES Series for delays, surround sound and effects. The combination provides clarity and dynamic range, while the use of point source technology to cover large spaces has reduced the amount of loudspeakers and amplifiers required, saving space and money while reducing the visual impact of the system.
