A Constellation of configurations for Finnish venue
The Hall can be configured for a huge variety of events
By Erica Basnicki
IN TURKU, Finland, the flexible Logomo Hall assumes whatever size or shape is suited to the event of the evening, its physical versatility made possible by a massive seating
stand that glides back and forth on compressed air cushions. Its permanently installed Meyer Sound Constellation acoustic system optimises acoustical responses for both the current room configuration and the event at
hand, whether a concert, conference, play, or opera. “Constellation’s effect is
extremely realistic,” observes Janne Auvinen, events and venue director for Logomo. “People don’t actually notice the system because it is just so natural.”
The Logomo development team specified Constellation early in the project timeline, with Akukon acoustical consultants of Helsinki designing complementary physical acoustics for the implementation of Constellation. Studiotec Oy of Espoo supplied and installed the hardware components, with facilitation by CEO Peter Stråhlman and

onsite project operations management by Uli Jetzinger. “Constellation is a crucial part
of our public profile as a diverse arts and entertainment venue,” Auvinen says. “We can stage operas, concerts, theatre, conferences, and even films without having to accept compromises in acoustics. That’s what makes the venue truly different.” www.meyersound.com
dBTechnologies’ DVA T12 and DVA T4 were chosen for the Hazrat Masoomeh mosque last month; the first ever line array to be installed at a religious site in Iran. A total of 6 DVA T12 and 10 DVA T4 units made up the two arrays.
Installation was completed in just 12 hours by local dBTechnologies distributor Kish Pishgaman Co’s technical team, headed by Meysam Khorasani. “They were so easy to install, almost clip on, plug and play,” he said of the DVA speakers. www.dbtechnologies.com
