Our Approach

Now in our third year supporting the Tattoo, Auditoria worked closely with the creative team, led by Creative Director Alan Lane in his debut year, and the musical leadership of Nick Grace and Tom Hodge. Early conversations with the music team shaped a key creative decision for 2025, which was expanding the Stage Band into a Stage Orchestra with a larger string section and a total of thirty musicians.

From a technical perspective, we refined the loudspeaker configuration introduced in 2023, further smoothing coverage across the grandstands. For 2025, an additional element was added to each North and South grandstand array, providing greater consistency of level and tonal balance to the rear seats. A visual impact test during 2024 rehearsals reassured stakeholders that the change would not compromise sightlines, allowing us to proceed with confidence.

Workflow was another key improvement this year. Both FOH and Monitor consoles were upgraded with the DiGiCo Theatre licence, streamlining programming across the complex session files. Music editing was handled in-house to ensure seamless playback, and TiMax SoundHub processors were used for localisation and timing, with every musician’s movement carefully programmed to align reinforcement with acoustic sound.
