Shure is supporting the theatrical production of The Hunger Games, at the purpose-built theatre in London’s Canary Wharf Theatre, with the company’s Axient Digital Wireless System deployed to meet the demands of an ambitious, highly physical production.
Autograph Sound, who provided the full theatre sound package for the production, selected 36 ADX1M micro bodypack transmitters across the cast, supported by 11 AD4Q four-channel digital wireless receivers and two AD610 Diversity ShowLink access points to maintain continuous control and monitoring. The wider wireless system also includes ADX2 handheld transmitters with KSM8 capsules, AD3 plug-on wireless transmitters, PSM 1000 In-ear monitoring systems, antenna distribution and combining infrastructure, rechargeable battery systems, and dedicated monitoring via Wireless Workbench and WaveTool to support daily performance operation.
“I’ve been a Shure fan for many years,” said sound designer Ian Dickinson. “On most shows I work on, I specify ADX1M transmitters because they’ve proven reliable throughout. I like the sound of them, I know what I’m going to get, and my teams like using them. The acting company also appreciates their size and discreet antenna positioning.”
“Theatre environments demand absolute confidence in wireless performance, particularly when productions are as physically ambitious as The Hunger Games,” added Peppe Mallozzi, sales manager, Shure UK. “Working alongside Autograph on this show demonstrates how Axient Digital continues to deliver the reliability, control and audio quality required for modern theatre productions, even in highly challenging RF conditions.”
