The National Theater Brno, Reduta upgrades their systems again with Shure
Reduta Theather is the oldest theatre building in Central Europe and is situated in Brno, Moravia, Czech Republic. It was built on the city's oldest square. The theatre regularly invites various artists and ensembles from Moravia, Bohemia and Slovakia for guest performances. It was reopened in 2005 following renovations that won the Grand Prix in architecture and it’s one of the most progressive and renowned stages in the Czech Republic. And now it was the time to upgrade their wireless.
The theatre was using Shure ULX series over the last years and experiences seamless usage of the years. They want to upgrade the ULX system to a wireless system in top quality and a system that was compatible with their existing antenna system. They also want to have the possibility of using remote control.
Solution
An important factor, in addition to meeting all the technical criteria, was the previous seamless experience with the Shure ULX series. That´s why the choice for Shure’s Wireless System Axient Digital.
The huge advantage was the possibility of using the existing antenna system, which is fully compatible with both series. This solution thus ensured a completely smooth transition to the latest technology.
One of the real pleasures is the possibility of using remote control via ShowLink. Thanks to the AD610 Diversity ShowLink® Access Point, this system can monitor and control all compatible elements of the Axient Digital series in real time.
It is possible not only to monitor the status of the AF or RF signal, the status of the batteries, but also, for example, to change the sensitivity of the transmitter during operation or to change the carrier frequency completely inaudibly in case of interference.
Advantages
Thanks to advanced frequency coordination, this Axient Digital system can do this automatically without operator intervention on the basis of pre-prepared frequency plans.
At present, the Reduta Theater has a 20-channel Shure Axient Digital system, a 6-channel in-ear monitoring system PSM900 and many other Shure microphones.
Audiomaster CZ did a great job and stated that they can proudly say that Shure Axient Digital settled in the theater somehow permanently with all their new gear.

Shure TwinPlex lavalier used in theme park Astrid Lindgren's World
Astrid Lindgren’s World (ALW) is a theme park in Sweden based on well-known children’s book characters like Pippi Longstocking. Located in Lindgren’s hometown in Vimmerby, Sweden, it is one of the Scandinavian country’s largest theme parks and receives up to 500,000 visitors during a normal summer season. ALW has been developed over several decades and is today a very popular destination that families with children visit regularly.

The company has been an active part of the technical development at ALW since 2003. During the current season, the park is using up to 100 wireless microphone systems and some ten in-ear systems at nine different stages, together with Shure TwinPlex because of the longer life cycle and high-sound quality.
MyMama Tour 2021; conquered by the reliability and consistency of SLX-D ©Diletta Radaelli
Arturo Magnanensi, Audio Engineer at the the MyMama tour: "The tour was characterized by the strong need of the band to finally be able to express the great energy and creativity stored during the period of the lock-down; combining it and putting it, however, at the service of a necessary flexibility and adaptability to the many different types of concerts that the tour schedule envisaged. Also due to the restrictive regulations related to the pandemic, the show had to be able to be done at different times, in different lighting conditions, in relatively small or even very large stages, without ever affecting its nature or its technical and artistic performance for the public. So I would say that the technical flexibility was fundamental in order to guarantee a coherence of the show in all the various venues in which we found ourselves having to create the show."
