Altec and the Sydney Opera House?

[Steve71]

I went to the Sydney Opera House when I about 5 years old. It could well be my imagination but I have this image in my head of large multicell horns either side of the stage. So I googled Sydney Opera House and Altec, and sure enough ALtec's were in the SOH at some stage.

Anyone know for sure what horns were used and if they were visible. It would have been around 1976 or so. If you have pic's that's even better!

Monitoring comes courtesy of the SOH’s usual choice of ATC. Custom built by ATC and catering to 7.1 surround formats, the SCM50A-based system (including ATC sub) delivers transparent reproduction of the most minute dynamics and textures.

Thanks for the reply Ian, those links were interesting to read. Still can't find any info on exactly what Altecs were in the SOH.

Anybody?

Guess I could always email em' and see what they remember.
