Cadac Electronics reports that the German cruise ship AIDAdiva recently set sail, complete with a 64 input Cadac R-Type Live Production Console and three D16 Digital Mix Matrices as part of its state of the art sound and complex multimedia system. Designed by Hendrik Maassen and Malte Polli-Holstein, the ship's system was supplied and installed by the specialist German systems house, Amptown Sound & Communication (ASC).

The R-Type provides the main FOH mixing facilities in the AIDAdiva's Theatrium, incorporating more than 3000 sq metres of central entertainment area and stage over three decks, linked by an impressive open stairway. Comprising a giant glass and steel dome, the Theatrium plays host to up to five different shows a night across a wide range of production styles, including live bands, competitions, classical soloists and musicals. Involving more than two years' planning, the installation was completed in a gruelling three-month timeframe before the AIDAdiva was launched in Hamburg.
