Parade

"Parade", the Jason Robert Brown musical, has opened to critical acclaim at The Donmar Warehouse and looks set for a highly successful 9-week run. The sound design is by Autograph's Terry Jardine and Nick Lidster , and on this occasion they chose to build on their previous designs and to mostly use loudspeakers made by LDS. The ribbon-based technology had served them well in the past so they used a combination of LDS L-800, CL-100, SP-88 and SP-18 loudspeakers complimented by EM Acoustics I-8 and I-12 subwoofers. This combination of products has proved very successful, prompting the reviewer in "Variety" to comment: "Applause breaks are limited to the curtain at the end of each act, making transitions between dialogue and song utterly seamless. This is aided by a first-rate sound design".
