DiGiCo Quantum consoles for Mazowsze National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble

The Mazowsze National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble was established in 1948 and is dedicated to the preservation and performance of traditional Polish folklore. In 2024, the venue completed extensive audio upgrades, with major changes to the sound system in the concert hall, designed by sound designer Krzysztof Polesinski.

Powering the upgrades are two DiGiCo Quantum 852T consoles and two further DiGiCo Quantum338 consoles, also equipped with Theatre software and Pulse upgrades for touring use, all supplied by Polsound, DiGiCo’s distributor in Poland. “Today’s audience’s demands are very different to even ten years ago, so our investmenmust reflect that”, says Jacek Boniecki, Maestro and Director of Mazowsze. “We want the beautiful sound of Mazowsze to represent the next t step up in what is possible.”

Krzysztof Polesinski, Head of Audio Technology at the Mazowsze Auditorium, assembled a team that would be able to provide a fully immersive experience for the musicians and performers. Piotr Przedbora, FOH Engineer and Head of Sound Engineers at the Mazowsze Auditorium, is an expert in the field of Dolby Atmos immersive mixes and mastering.

To deliver an immersive experience, the system utilises three Fourier Audio Transform.Engines, two at the front-of-house position, and the third dedicated for touring. Training for this system was provided by Polsound. The monitor system is powered by Klang:Konductor, offering engineers complete control from the console.

“With the immersive sound system in the main auditorium, we anticipated the need for immersive monitoring for the company, so we have prepared for this with Klang:Konductor”, notes Monitor Engineer Miklaj Grzebieniowski. “The flexibility of the DiGiCo consoles allows us to control multiple devices from a single position”, adds Przedbora. “For example, we can integrate the Quantum 852 with the L-ISA system, Klang, Fourier and Waves servers, seamlessly controlling everything with just a few clicks.”

“The Mazowsze Ensemble has made incredible changes and our DiGiCo consoles are at the heart of them,” concludes Polesinski. “The Theatre software has been a great choice for us. Piotr came up with a very cool idea for the use of Liquid Sonics plugins, Seventh Heaven and Cinematic Room in particular, and it does a tremendous job via the Fourier Transform.Engine in creating the correct feel for our artists.”
