Finnish AV integration firm Noretron Communication has replaced the aging ceiling loudspeaker system at Finland’s Heinola hockey arena with FBT Shadow loudspeakers driven by Ashly Audio processing, amplification, and user control.
The arena seats 1,600, but attendance often swells to nearly 3,000 as hockey fans crowd through its doors.
“The previous system was very old and functioning poorly,” said Timo Kunnas, owner of Noretron Communication. “Using an Ashly back-end and FBT Shadow loudspeakers, we composed a plan that would give them the control and performance they desperately needed. Part of the challenge was meeting their budget and yet still providing excellent coverage in an acoustically-poor environment.”
Noretron, a distributor for both Ashly and FBT in Finland, designed the system, installed the rack, and performed the system tuning at commissioning. Local electrical installation firm Electrowise handled all of the cabling and the loudspeaker installation.
“Ashly builds reliable and great-sounding gear and sells it at a price that is very competitive,” said Kunnas. “The Ashly ne24.24M modular processor, Ashly KLR-Series amplifiers, and RD-8C remote fader control would give the arena everything they needed. And for us, it’s all very easy to set up and program.”
Because it has a modular I/O count, Kunnas was able to order an Ashly ne24.24M with twelve inputs and eight outputs to accommodate four microphones, two stereo RCA input jacks, a radio output, and a CD player output. The eight outputs feed four dual-channel Ashly KLR-3200 amplifiers, which in turn power nine FBT Shadow loudspeakers, four for the central cluster and five for delays. User control consists of three redundant Ashly RD-8C remote fader panels that provide individual volume control of each input, plus overall volume control. The three redundant locations allow user control from anywhere that staff may need to make adjustments.
“The client is very happy with the sound quality, speech intelligibility, and ease of use, all thanks to Ashly,” concluded Kunnas.
FBT MITUS and STAGEMAXX at the PERUVIAN JAPANESE THEATER
Based in Lima, Peru, the theater belongs to the Peruvian-Japanese Cultural Center and is one of the most respected cultural establishments in Lima. Presented are a wide range of different performances.
The company Denky representative in Peru of FBT, renewed the speaker system this prestigious, home of the best concerts in Peru. Denky installed a complete MITUS line array system equipped the stage with STAGEMAXX floor monitors. When initially installed, the directors of the Peruvian Theater Japanese were skeptical that MITUS may have the ability to handle the shows that normally occur there, having been accustomed to much larger line arrays that where rented locally from rental companies for leading concerts. After the first test and a successful first concert, doubts were dispelled, and since then, it has not been necessary to re-rent for the room speakers. Artist, sound engineers and audience who have experienced the performance, have all been positively impressed of the sound quality of the new FBT MITUS system of Japanese Peruvian Theater
The Queensland Tennis Centre is located in Tennyson, Brisbane, Australia and consists of twenty three international standard tennis courts. The centre court, Pat Rafter Arena, boasts a new speaker system from the FBT Shadow series.
The system was installed in December 2013, just in time for the Brisbane International, which sees the world’s best players descend on Brisbane. Record crowds were reported for the event, now in its sixth year, with over 105,000 fans attending the tournament over eight days.
The new system is based on a distributed design using a mix of FBT Shadow 112CT and 112HC speakers. Both models feature a 12”/1” coaxial driver with the 112HC being horn-loaded for longer-throw applications. The FBT Shadow series are rated to IP55 and are designed for extreme weather conditions. They are made from a single piece rotomolded enclosure, and also include stainless steel hardware and a unique water-stop grill. The Shadow series provide highly intelligible speech and quality music playback. The Shadow Series is a family of outdoor rated speakers from a 5”/1” through to 8” and 12” coaxial models, plus a flyable subwoofer and a high SPL outdoor line array system.
The Pat Rafter Arena has a seating capacity of 5,500 and acoustically is difficult due to the open air nature of the venue. Quite a bit of time was spent in the design phase with EASE simulation software, working on the best speaker locations and angles – the aim being to provide consistent coverage whilst minimising reflections.
The system was supplied to the installation company in under 3 weeks and was one of the first sales by new FBT distributor, Audio Brands Australia.
