The Hi-Fi Melbourne

Features & Equipment - Melbourne

Under the heart of Melbourne's central business and shopping precinct lies one of the city's most unique entertainment venues. Originally the magnificent Century Theatre designed in the modern art deco style, it was constructed to provide uninterrupted stage views for all patrons. It is unusual also in the completeness of its soundproofing and in the clever utilisation of the sound absorbing fibre as a visible surface in the ceiling and in the main walls of the venue. Hence today, it is well known as the best viewing and sounding venue in Melbourne.

"Man, the low end had enough power to talk to God himself"
Ken Turta, Xavier Rudd

"The new system in The Hi-Fi was an absolute pleasure to use. For someone that doesn't use digital consoles all that often I found the ‘Digidesign’ very user friendly and quite easy to get my head around. The PA sounded crystal clear and huge!"
Bob Reverb, The Grates
