THEATRE
Creating Unforgettable Theatre Experiences
In the world of theatre, the right sound design is crucial for transforming a performance space into an immersive environment where magic unfolds. Unlike cinemas or auditoriums, theatres are dynamic spaces where the energy exchange between performers and audiences creates a unique live experience. At Polar, we offer advanced audio solutions designed to enhance this artistic connection, including steerable loudspeakers for precise sound direction, Midas digital consoles for superior control and flexibility, HK Audio speaker systems for clear and powerful sound reproduction, and Aviom personal monitoring systems for customized performer feedback. With decades of experience and a range of cutting-edge technologies, we ensure that our audio solutions meet the demands of any theatrical environment, enriching the live performance and engagement between stage and audience.
Steerable Loudspeakers
Digital steerable speakers are increasingly becoming a crucial asset in theatre applications due to their advanced beamforming technology, which allows for precise control over sound distribution. These speakers can be electronically adjusted to direct sound exactly where it’s needed, minimizing spill and optimizing audio coverage across various seating areas. This adaptability enhances clarity and intelligibility of dialogue and effects, even in acoustically challenging spaces. With the ability to dynamically steer sound to target specific audience areas or avoid problematic reflections, digital steerable speakers offer theatre productions a high level of flexibility and control, ensuring a consistent and immersive auditory experience for all attendees.
Midas
Advanced control over audio production, providing a comprehensive interface for managing sound with precision and flexibility. These consoles enable real-time manipulation of multiple audio channels, including mixing, equalization, and effects, through intuitive digital interfaces and programmable touchscreens. Their capabilities include automation, complex routing options, and integration with other digital systems, allowing sound engineers to tailor audio experiences to the unique acoustics and requirements of each performance. With their robust processing power and user-friendly features, digital consoles enhance the overall sound quality and efficiency in theatrical productions.
HK Audio
HK Audio offers a range of high-performance sound solutions tailored for theatre applications, combining clarity, reliability, and versatility.

Additionally, HK Audio's innovative subwoofers and monitors provide robust low-end support and accurate monitoring for performers, while their advanced DSP technology allows for fine-tuned control and optimization of sound in complex acoustic environments. This comprehensive approach ensures that theatrical productions can achieve both powerful impact and subtle nuance in their audio presentation.
Aviom
Aviom personal mixers are highly effective in theater applications, offering performers and technicians precise control over their individual monitor mixes, which is crucial in dynamic live environments. These mixers allow each performer to tailor their audio feed to personal preferences, ensuring clarity and comfort on stage, thus enhancing overall performance quality.
