Yunhe’s Fairy-Tale Theatre Elevates Performance Audio with Twin DiGiCo Quantum 338 consoles

In the heart of Yunhe—known across China as the famed “Wooden Toy Town”—stands a venue as enchanting as its name suggests: the Fairy-Tale Theatre. Recently, this multi-functional 696-seat cultural gem, which sports a main stage plus double side stages, has embraced a new chapter in audio excellence, thanks to the installation of not one, but two DiGiCo Quantum 338 consoles. The investment underscores the theatre’s commitment to delivering world-class sound for every performance within its storybook-inspired castle complex.

The Quantum 338 brings formidable versatility to the stage: 128 input channels, 64 Aux or sub-group busses, and a 24 x 24 full processing matrix. Ultra-bright screens aid rehearsals, while subtle dark mode ensures distraction-free performances. The dual-console configuration adds further resilience—one desk serves as the main, while the second is mirrored in real time as a backup. This redundancy not only minimises downtime risk but also streamlines teamwork by offering seamless synchronisation and overview.

The decision was overseen by Rightway Audio Consultants (RAC), DiGiCo’s distributors in China, with Zhao Haozhi, Deputy Manager of the Product Department, deeply involved in the project. “Yunhe Fairy-Tale Theatre benefits from exquisite architectural design and visitors will be impressed by the modern, minimalist style,” Zhao explains. “The stage equipment is professional and comprehensive, and the team insist on high standards, so the DiGiCo Quantum 338 was a natural choice. The result is truly next-level—no matter the performance, the sound system is well suited to deliver a fairy-tale experience.”

The theatre’s debut with its new consoles was nothing short of magical. The China National Opera & Dance Drama Theatre Traditional Music Troupe premiered Hymn of the Earth to showcase the system’s capabilities—an evening that marked both a technical and artistic triumph.

For Zhao, the installation is about more than technology—it’s about creative empowerment. “We are proud of the work we do with venues like Yunhe Fairy-Tale Theatre,” he reflects. “Seeing the benefit of investing in great tools like DiGiCo and the transformative effect that can have on the creativity of theatre shows is very rewarding. Alongside DiGiCo, we will continue to support the theatre’s performances with excellent audio technology, helping Yunhe’s cultural vibes to shine brightly.”
