Challenge

Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre was established 16 years ago and placed utmost importance on the ideas surrounding music performance and effective communication with the audience. Resolving audio challenges is essential to continue to deliver exceptional experiences as a leading venue. 

The previous audio systems they were using struggled to capture the full range of vocal characteristics, especially during softer singing or whispering. This resulted in diminished nuances in the performers' voices and compromised the artistic expression and emotional impact of the performances. Additionally, the theater was grappling with frequency coordination issues and interference in their wireless systems. The crowded RF environment and the presence of numerous wireless devices in the vicinity often led to signal degradation, dropouts, and interruptions during shows. This not only affected the audio quality but also caused disruptions in communication between performers and the technical team, leading to inefficiencies and potential performance challenges. These challenges not only impacted the audience experience but also posed difficulties for performers and the production team. 

Solution

With its advanced features and unparalleled reliability, Shure's Axient Digital was the perfect choice for Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre. Axient Digital offered a comprehensive range of cutting-edge wireless systems and microphones perfectly suited to the theater’s needs. 

Ten Years After Audio by Born to B Group Lao, a leading live performance rental company in Thailand, played a crucial role in the spec and design of the gear used in the theater. They also took on the responsibility of professionally monitoring RF management, ensuring that the wireless systems operated flawlessly without any interference. 

Advantages

With Axient Digital, the team can enter every performances with confidence that the system’s reliability and audio quality will remain uncompromised, while enjoying several benefits not limited to the below:

  1. Impeccable Sound Quality: Axient Digital's TH53 headset microphone became the go-to choice for Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre, ensuring exceptional sound reproduction. It captured the full range of vocal characteristics, from gentle nuances to powerful expressions, providing crystal-clear audio throughout the theater. The microphone's close proximity positioning eliminated the pickup distance challenges of previous lavalier microphones, resulting in enhanced clarity and natural voice details.
  2. Seamless Wireless Connectivity: With Axient Digital's advanced wireless systems, Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre experienced seamless and uninterrupted connectivity during performances. The transition from their previous UR4D+ wireless system to Axient Digital eliminated interference issues and allowed for simultaneous operation of multiple wireless channels. This enabled flawless communication between performers, crew members, and the technical team, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience for the audience.
  3. Frequency Coordination: Axient Digital's frequency coordination capabilities revolutionized the theater's approach to managing wireless frequencies. Utilizing the Shure Wireless Workbench software, Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre could analyze the RF environment and identify clear frequencies free from interference. The software's scanning feature provided real-time updates on available spectrum, empowering the theater to make informed decisions and select optimal frequencies for their wireless systems. This improved frequency coordination resulted in reliable and interference-free performances.
  4. Cost and Environmental Efficiency: The implementation of Axient Digital brought significant cost and environmental benefits to Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre. The utilization of Axient Digital's rechargeable batteries reduced their reliance on disposable batteries, resulting in considerable cost savings over time. Additionally, the move towards rechargeable batteries had a positive environmental impact by reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
