CIVIC CENTER GERMANY CHOOSES HK AUDIO FOR SOUND REINFORCEMENT
The Civic Center (‘Stadthalle’) of Sin- gen, Germany, not far from the Swiss/ German border, has been a stronghold of cultural life in southwest Germany for several years now. It is known for the broad variety of its entertainment programme, from drama to musical theatre, from comedy to rock concerts. As the productions in the Stadthalle have become more and more technically demanding, a new sound reinforcement system was installed. The Main PA consists of 16 HK Audio Cohedra Compact CDR 108 C line array mid/high units on each side of the stage. A central subwoofer cluster of six CDR 210 C is flown above the centre of the stage. Whenever the mu- sical productions demand more bass, sixteen additional CDR 210 units are available for ground-stacking in front of the stage. Six ConTour Series CT 108 8”/1” cabinets serve as nearfills for the first rows of the audience, with another four CT 108s being used as delays for the gallery in the back. Full story online at
