Patch Points

I had a look around the Olympus Theatre space to see what infrastructure was in place, such as patch points, speakers and mixers. I made notes as I went around with what numbers were on which patch points so I have my own record of where to send audio if needed. This research will be useful as it will allow me to create a patch plan of the theatre.

I found a diagram in the control room that gave a 3D view of the back of the Olympus Theatre with circles denoting the numbers of the SpeakON patch points.

DSR Wallbox

Located in the rear of the Stage Right wing next to the workshop access doors.

Sub L is connected to SpeakON 1.

DSL Wallbox

Located in the rear of the Stage Left wing next to the dressing room access door.

Sub R is connected to SpeakON 2.

USR Wallbox

Located at the rear of the balcony on the Stage Right side.

USL Wallbox

Located at the rear of the balcony on the Stage Left side next to the power distribution unit.

Centre Fill is connected to SpeakON 3.
This is where the stagebox snake connects to, hence will be where the stage monitors will connect.

Roof

Located on the ceiling above each of the balcony wallboxes there are two SpeakON outputs.

Main L is connected to SpeakON 5.
Main R is connected to SpeakON 6.

SpeakON Patch Bay

Located in the control room in the rack just above the amps. This is where the output from the amps connect to the input on the speakers.

Patch Bay

Located in the patch rack to the left of the mixer, this is where the inputs and outputs on the wallboxes are routed to the mixer.

This lower corner of the patch bay is where the Omni Outs from the mixer connect to the inputs on the amps.
