Openluchttheater Valkenburg

 
 
“For us, it is vital that the acoustic quality matches the unique atmosphere of our theatre,” explains Dennis Blom, owner of TDS Productions and responsible for the installation at the Openluchttheater Valkenburg. “With the VIO system from dBTechnologies, we can reproduce the full breadth of our programme – from delicate, intimate performances to large band productions – with authenticity and power. The technology integrates seamlessly into our historic setting and enhances the special experience we want to offer our audience.”
 
 


 
 
Nestled in the marlstone hills of Zuid-Limburg (The Netherlands), the Openluchttheater Valkenburg ranks among the oldest and most striking open-air theatres in Europe. Designed by the renowned architect Pierre Cuypers and inaugurated in 1916, the theatre has, for over a century, evolved into a cultural landmark. Each year, it attracts audiences with a diverse programme ranging from classical music and opera to jazz, world music, pop, cabaret and children’s theatre.
 




 
The theatre’s extraordinary setting – where architecture and nature blend in perfect harmony – creates both moving experiences in the amphitheatre and intimate moments in the grotto theatre. To ensure this artistic variety is delivered with the highest acoustic quality, the venue relies on sound system technology from dBTechnologies, with a particular focus on the VIO system.

 
 
 

For current productions, a tailor-made VIO system is in use:
 
  • 2 × 7 VIO L210 line array units (left and right of the stage) as a full-range solution, delivering optimal speech intelligibility and musical presence
  • 2 × 2 S218 subwoofers in cardioid mode for precise bass reproduction with controlled dispersion
  • 2 × VIO X206 as infills to flexibly complement the sound field

With this setup, the Openluchttheater Valkenburg guarantees its audiences a homogeneous, powerful and detailed sound experience that underlines the venue’s unique character.
