Farnham Maltings

Farnham Maltings is a cultural organisation based in Hampshire providing live shows, film showings, festivals, markets, and workshops. The building retains all the character of its vibrant industrial past, with original architectural features now complemented by contemporary facilities and technology.

Audiotek was commissioned to design and install a new sound system in the ‘great hall’ in order to increase the usage of the space, particularly to allow for live bands to play without having to bring in additional PA systems.

The new sound system, designed by Audiotek and Martin Audio needed to be as flexible as possible – for example, the subwoofers and front fills can move forward, and the delay line changed so that only the rake seating can be used for performances which do not use the stage.

The new system comprised of Martin Audio TORUS (10 x T1215 & 2 x T1230) and 2 x Martin Audio SX218 Subwoofers, powered by Martin Audio amplifiers as well as a QSC Q-SYS Control System.

The end result is a brilliant system for a mid-sized UK theatre, allowing all acts from theatre, dance, and live bands to play in the ‘great hall’ space.
