Functions of the Theater and Stage Machinery System

  • Movable Ceiling
    Setting the movable ceiling to the optimal ceiling height reduces the air-conditioning load and adjusts the reverberation time to the optimum value.
  • Fly facilities
    A fly system is a theatrical rigging system for hoisting and suspending stage equipment such as large props, lighting fixtures, and speakers above the stage from overhead battens.
  • Floor facilities
  • Retractable seating and movable floor system
  • Acoustic shell
  • Variable reverberation system
