A dual-purpose Community sound system has been installed as part of a state-of-the-art renovation at the Hala Stulecia (Centennial Hall), an historical multipurpose venue located in Wroclaw, Poland.
The finalized system incorporated Biamp's Community setup that could meet the complex demands of the space which, due to UNESCO accreditation, restricted the placement of a central cluster under the main dome. A total of 52 high-output, dual 12in R-Series loudspeakers and 8in WET W2-2W8 loudspeakers were installed.
To overcome the heritage limitations, loudspeakers were positioned around the lowest ring of the dome – which is why the Biamp speakers were chosen, as the devices are said to have precise coverage patterns, excellent voice reproduction and very high SPL. A combination of 50 x 20, 70 x 70 and 90 x 40º devices are claimed to deliver consistent coverage, while the features of the loudspeakers enable them to meet the intelligibility and SPL requirements and pass the Polish Fire Department tests.
