Beautiful theatre, amazing sound
Northcote Theatre is a charming heritage-protected building. The installation of a sophisticated sound system transformed this historic building into an amazing venue for live music and theatrical performances.
With polished floorboards and decorative plasterboard on the walls and ceiling, our highly absorptive acoustic panels, Megasorber FM50 and Megasorber FM100, were installed to reduce the reverberation/echo noise.
The thicker Megasorber FM100 was installed on the stage walls and ceiling. Megasorber FM50 acoustic panels were attached to plasterboard walls and curved in some areas, preserving the original heritage nature of the building. A unique and aesthetically pleasing combination of black acoustic panels on white plasterboard walls and ceilings has created an amazing state-of-the-art acoustic theatre experience, which also hosts multi-level bars.
The Megasorber FM50 and FM100 acoustic panels have effectively reduced the reverberation/echo inside the theatre with stunning results, bringing out the best in their high-end sound system and delighting both artists and patrons.
