Cell Block Theatre
The Cell Block Theatre was originally the women’s prison in the Old Darlinghurst Gaol. The sandstone building features soaring ceilings and a newly upgraded state of the art lighting and sound system. This versatile space provides the perfect blank canvas for any event.
Technology
The standard Cell Block Theatre Public Address System consists of a full range L’Acoustics line array and a Yamaha QL1 digital console with 8 input channels available on the in-house audio network.
For larger channel counts and extra flexibility, an Allen and Heath SQ5 digital console is available for up to 48 inputs and 20 outputs.
The comprehensive lighting system has control via a GrandMA3 Compact lighting Console, and the theatre is also equipped with an extensive rigging system with truss movement controlled via Kinesys.
