Red Globe’s dedication to theatrical audio services is a core aspect of our passion for theatre. Each production we engage in is an opportunity to showcase our technical expertise in audio, lighting and staging and to contribute creatively, enhancing the story’s narrative and immersing the audience in the experience.
In November 2023, we proudly supported Holroyd Musical and Dramatic Society for their production of “Puffs the Play.” This comical production reimagines seven years at a famed School of Magic, focusing on the lesser-known Puffs house.
Our involvement began with providing technical consultation in the early stages of production planning. We then delivered a range of theatrical audio services, including a PA system, stage microphones, audio control, and playback. Our efforts also included draping to create an intimate and immersive setting for the audience.
“Puffs” featured a small ensemble cast and a largely static set. Considering the frequent costume changes, we strategically placed stage microphones, opting out of individual mics for cast members to bring the magic to life. The DPA 4097 microphones were our choice and they perfectly captured the dialogue across the large stage area.
For the audio mix, we utilised Allen and Heath’s DLive CDM32 engine and C1500 control surface. This sophisticated setup brought the dialogue to the forefront, while balancing the enchanting soundtrack and sound effects, a testament to our expert theatrical audio services.
We congratulate the cast and crew of HMDS’s “Puffs” on their successful season. Red Globe looks forward to future collaborations, offering our specialised theatrical production services for HMDS’s upcoming musical and theatrical productions.
