WRC cover or for extreme outdoor conditions - WRX cover.” Power for the speakers comes from a host of Crown CTs 2000 amplifiers, with Crown IQ3USP3 processing units built in. BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-160 and BLU-100 units handle network signal processing duties. Explaining the benefits of the amplifiers, Karalow continued: “They are perfectly reliable, they have USP4 DSP programmable input processors dedicated to work with other Harman products such as BSS BLU processors. USP4 connects to an Ethernet network allowing it to be remotely controlled and monitored via System Architect.” In addition, the USP4 allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet or Ethernet AVB. The USP4 is a HiQnet series component and connects to the audio control / monitor network using 100Mb Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). The audio signal is available over the same 100Mb Ethernet network, providing a simple to install, single plug solution for audio distribution, control, and monitoring. A Soundcraft Si Compact 24 has been chosen. The console draws on the heritage of Soundcraft’s acclaimed Si Series and packs powerful digital mixing facilities along with Lexicon effects into a relatively small unit. It features 24 recallable mic pre amps, plus four stereo returns, AES in and 64 input option slot with a capacity to combine up to 40 of these inputs to mix. Each input is fully equipped with compressors, gates, parametric EQ, high pass filter and delay. Various AKG microphones have been included in the audio package, including GNS 36 goosenecks, AKG HSD-271 headset dynamic
mics, a DHT700 wirless microphone system, AKG D7 handheld mics and an AKG C 1000 S condenser microphone. Four LED displays that are flown beneath the roof’s centre pin have been supplied and installed by Optarget. Each one of them can be lifted from the ground level to a height of 45 metres and can be positioned to different height levels for different events or concerts. In the final position each display is locked on the spire by four hydraulic pistons with an automatic locking system. The 200 sq metres displays contain a refresh rate of 1,200Hz, offer a resolution of 8,640 by 5,760 pixels, 24 bits, a front and rear IP65 protection, a RGB Pixel pitch of 20 millimetres and a LED DIP346 brightness. The displays also contain an extinguishing system.
GDANSK The 44,000-seat PGE Arena in Gdansk replaces the Baltic Arena in the northern city. The stadium’s exterior is designed to resemble amber, which has long been extracted on the Baltic coast. ESS Audio provided the main public address system for the main bowl and stands as well as 40 VIP lounges, conference rooms and the stadium’s official pub. The main system features 75 JBL PD5212-64 WRX weather- resistant loudspeakers (to handle the extreme weather coming off the Baltic Sea), set in 24 clusters of three for the stand coverage, while the remaining three single speakers broadcast onto the field. The PA is powered by a total of 34 Crown CTs 3000 amplifiers equipped with PIP-USP3/CN cards to provide full network control. Signal processing is provided by a BSS Audio Soundweb London
