Massive installation of Outline point source enclosures in Poland’s major stadiums
Poznan’s City Stadium is currently the largest sports arena in Poland and home to the country’s national soccer champions, Lech Poznan. In 2012, the stadium will be one of the venues hosting the Euro championship.
The official reopening of the venue after its modernization work was held on September 20th 2010. The event featured a concert by Sting (a date on his celebrated Symphonicity world tour).
The stadium has a seating capacity of 43,741 and the venue’s architecture comprises three new stands and a small historical stand that has been integrated into the new building.
Lech played its first international match at the stadium on September 30th against Red Bull Salzburg (in the UEFA Europa League), which the club won 2-0 with goals by Arboleda and Peszko.
All tickets for the match were sold out and the venue was full. The next international matches will be on November 4th (against Manchester City FC) and December 1st (versus Juventus).
Poznan’s City Stadium was supposed to be the first Euro 2012 object opened in Poland. Because of this, investors demanded the highest standards from all the contractors working on technical installations.
The audio team had the task of ensuring even coverage in the wide seating areas and high speech intelligibility. This was achieved using a quantity of high performance loudspeakers.
The system’s designers - with experience from the Legia Warsaw project - were Ambient System’s Krzysztof Mludzik and Kamil Slowikowski, who chose Outline to provide the loudspeaker system not only because of the products’ high quality, but also for the company’s professional support on the project.
For example, together with Outline’s engineers, the designers specified a list of modifications of the basic products, made to ensure the speakers high reliability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.
To reproduce speech and music in the stadium, Outline’s sole distributor for Poland, Ambient System, used a sound reinforcement system based on 52Tripla II 9075 loudspeakers and 64Micra II loudspeakers (covering the stands), as well as 6Doppia II 9075 P loudspeaker systems (for the pitch). Power was courtesy of 34 T Five and 8 T Seven amplifiers, also Outline.
The speaker setup used in this project was also tested by the means of acoustic simulations (i.e. EASE software packages). The simulations confirmed that for this large venue, only a fully professional set-up based on speakers such as Outline’s could have met the necessary standards.
France’s second most important theatre’s sound has the Outline brand
Strasburg, France, June 2009 – An Outline loudspeaker system made up of Doppia II point source enclosures has been chosen as the sound reinforcement system for Theatre National de Strasbourg, France’s second most famous theatre, located in a luxurious building in the city’s so-called imperial district.
A member of the UTE (Union of Theatres of Europe), the TNS has an international image and boasts an extremely modern organization; it has had the status of “National Theatre” since 1972 and is the only one of the five theatres with this classification outside the French capital.
With fifteen to twenty productions per season and approximately two hundred performances per year, it is an exceptional theatre all-round and offers a busy highly interesting program. The TNS hosts a permanent theatre company, the Ecole Suprieure d'Art dramatiquedrama schooland two halls for shows. This set-up is completed by the Studio Kabl, with two supplementary halls, rehearsal and work rooms and administration facilities, as well as scenography and costume workshops.
The new Outline system debuted on the occasion of the first of Hamlet, in the Bernard-Marie Kolts hall (with Matthias Langhoff).
The TNS hosts four permanently installed Doppia II 9075 systems, supported by four DVS 118 SW subs (all in groups of two, for the dress and upper circles). Two Doppia II 5040 (with a longer throw) cover the stage and four Outline DVS 10 multi-purpose enclosures (also in groups of two) are used for the orchestra and as a centre cluster respectively.
Signal amplification and processing is entrusted to eight Outline T5 power amplifiers. The work of installation and fine tuning was carried out by Outline’s exclusive French distributor AUDIO (www.outline.audio2.fr), along with associate firm Scne de Nuit.
Didier Rupin of AUDIO comments: “The expectations were not easy to satisfy, as they were high from many points of view: acoustic, technical and aesthetic. But the distinctive characteristics of Outline products were able to provide TNS technical staff all the responses. One of the most important aspects of the client’s brief was to achieve outstandingly uniform sound, which had to be very well balanced at all sound pressure levels: here too the result was achieved. The TNS audio team, led by Caroll Duthrage, also specified the need for centralized control of the amplifiers, as well as the digital inputs, and the new Outline T5 power amplifiers, equipped with Ethernet port and DSP card, ensured the solution: they are all controlled by a single PC via (dedicated) software, which enables everything to be kept under control, including phase alignment, a function the team of TNS sound engineers puts to good use.”
