The Théatre du Châtelet, located in the first arrondissement of Paris, was opened by Empress Eugénie on 19 April 1862. Audiences are enchanted by its stunning architecture, superb acoustics and capacity, with seating for over 2500. The Châtelet is one of the French capital’s most popular and best-loved venues for theatre, operetta and ballet. It recently underwent extensive restoration lasting two-and-a-half years at a cost of almost 32 billion euros, which was funded by the city of Paris. Nothing whatsoever of the architecture was changed; the entire focus was on technical renovations.
 
The majority of the works were performed by a French installation company as project lead, working in close collaboration with cable manufacturer KLOTZ AIS. Thanks to the expertise of KLOTZ AIS in selecting the most efficient cable products available, the project was completed smoothly and on schedule. After full technical renovation, the theatre reopened on 13 September 2019´, eagerly awaited by thousands of people.

Technical renovations focused on full-scale analogue and digital infrastructure cabling, including HD video, control and data lines. Sound cabling was primarily carried out using KLOTZ LSC840XYS speaker multicores, with core cross-section of 4.0 mm² and ultra-high flexibility and fatigue resistance. KLOTZ SCH2025/4025 Multicore with 2.5 mm² cross-section was installed for signal distribution to the individual speakers. In addition to a variety of KLOTZ termination panels, rugged KLOTZ stage boxes from the TrussLink and StraightLink series are used for stage and backstage sound. The KLOTZ DC422CY data cable delivers RS232/422 control data, while network data are transmitted via resilient KLOTZ RamCAT cables. Châtelet chose KLOTZ OmniFIX OX22AH AES/EBU multicore for its digital operations, both as bulk cable and made up with RMP connectors as AES/EBU fanout and connection cables. During the modernization works, the old video cabling was also completely replaced with KLOTZ VD3062SH and VD5062SH video multicores.

Of course, optical fibre cables and termination panels are also part of the equipment at Théatre du Châtelet. Here, KLOTZ SmartBeam cables and FiberLink bulkhead adapters were easily able to satisfy the client’s extremely discerning requirements. KLOTZ SmartBeam lens technology with ultra-low attenuation ensures smooth, stable and stress-free operation of all optical fibre peripherals at the venue.

Here is good news for all users of professional network technology.
 
We have revised the length diagram in the online shop for all KLOTZ RamCAT products. A clearer layout and easy to see at a glance: which KLOTZ cable or cable drum works best in a certain length at a certain protocol.
 
This makes choosing the right RamCAT cable child's play.
