installationnews GERMANY Aalen auditorium upgrades The installation represents a major coup for the LUCIA range “Since we didn’t need a lot of
power, the LUCIA 120/2M was ideal as it offers a robust two 60 watts out of a small unit, with its DSP possibilities providing equalisation as well. The small unit is mounted hidden behind a blind cover so the user cannot reach its controls (and does not need to).” The microphones and audio

KLARTEXT-GRUPPE HAS installed a new sound system in the classrooms and auditorium at Aalen University in Germany. The system consists of two
Tannoy VX 5.2 loudspeakers in each room, as well as a compact, two-channel
Lab.gruppen LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification) amplifier. Klartext manager Jörg Mitschele says: “LUCIA was
SWEDEN Swedish stadium sides with Crown By Murray Stassen
EIGHT CROWN DCi 4600N and eight DCi 4300N networkable power amplifiers were installed in the Himmelstalundshallen, a 4,480-seat indoor arena in Norrköping, Sweden, that hosts concerts and other sporting events. Sweden-based Harman
distributor Septon Electronics supplied the equipment. Sound contractor Micab was
responsible for the upgrade, under the direction of installation specialist Mikael Bergvall. “In addition to providing clear, intelligible audio we needed to achieve a system that provided equal coverage at every seating area,” says Bergvall. The amplifiers are linked together using BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-101 and BLU-160 devices with BLU-Link.
Twenty JBL AM5215 loudspeakers were also fitted as part of the upgrade. Bergvall explains that the Crown DCi Network amplifiers were selected as they feature both Ethernet and BLU link connectivity options, enabling easy networking over long distances. The DCi Network amplifiers offer networked monitoring and control via Harman HiQnet Audio
Architect system software. “The quality of the sound in the Himmelstadlundshallen has been completely transformed. Everyone in every seat now enjoys clear, full range reproduction for game announcements, music and audio,” he concludes. “The memory of the previous sound system is now just a fading echo.”

chosen for a number of reasons. It’s compact, but doesn’t compromise in sound quality, and the built-in DSP feature is a wonderful tool to have during set up.
sources are hooked up to the system with modular units called m-connect-s, which allow the connection of phantom powered microphone inputs and RCA jack connectors for laptops, MP3 players or smartphones. Mitschele adds: “The combination of LUCIA amplifiers and Tannoy loudspeakers is great but, in my opinion, the kind of foolproof operation demanded by the customer would not have been possible without m-connect-s audio input and mixing systems. I think LUCIA and m-connect-s not only get on well together, but make a perfect team for a vast field of sound reinforcement applications. Just plug it in and turn it up. It really is that simple!”
