Sounds Tops for Crocodile Hunter at Australia Zoo
Australia Zoo, located 1 hour north of Brisbane, is one of Australia’s
leading
entertainment and wildlife parks. It is owned and managed by the
Crocodile Hunter, an Australian icon who has made a name
for himself as the khaki-clad “Aussie”, and whose popularity has
increased dramatically over the past few years both at home and
overseas.
To cater
to
the growing crowds, the
park has recently undergone a major upgrade and significant expansion of
its public address system. This major sound development project was
divided into two stages and Audia, TOA and AKG products were selected
for the install. Stage One covered the installation of distributed audio
and a hierarchy of prioritised audio control throughout the whole Zoo,
and Stage Two included the sound system installation for the brand new
auditorium, suitably named “Crocoseum”.

Hints |

Pop Noise
In order to avoid
unpopular pop noises on stage, talk
across the microphone head. Interestingly, pop noises are
worst about 2 in. from the mic, so move either closer or
further away and perhaps use an extra foam windscreen.
