K Series and A Series bring new realms of sound to one of Germany\u2019s most recognized landmarks<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

HANOVER, Germany <\/strong>\u2013  28th<\/sup> September 2020 – Amongst the beauty of regal parks and palaces, swathes of green and museums, Hanover, the capital city of Lower Saxony, is home to Landesfunkhaus Niedersachsen (State Broadcast Station), one of the region\u2019s most recognized landmarks and part of regional public radio and television broadcaster, Northern German Broadcasting (NDR)<\/a>. Its iconic building is home to Kleiner Sendesaal, a 350-seat hall that plays host to an array of corporate and music events along with the 1,250-capacity Gro\u00dfer Sendesaal, which has been primarily used for the NDR Radiophilharmonie<\/a>, which produces over a hundred concerts each year. Both halls received a major audio upgrade this summer designed around L-Acoustics ultra-compact, powerful Kiva II, and flexible A Series.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both halls host events that span from live music to film concerts with cinema sound, and the existing sound system was not keeping up with the demands for high-quality sound reinforcement.  \u201cThe ever-increasing sound quality requirements, coupled with the rider requirement of incoming productions, led us to look for a new, optimized sound system that can take us into a new era of audio,\u201d explains Ingo Schwarze, music production team leader at Landesfunkhaus Niedersachsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following an assessment of available solutions that fulfilled the team\u2019s strict requirements, two systems were retained, and Theapro was commissioned to start the final comparison round. L-Acoustics was the undisputed winner in both technical sound measurement and listening tests. \u201cApart from the requirement for a distortion-free reproduction of certain acoustic levels such as headroom, the list of key criteria included achieving the most uniform possible coverage of the entire auditorium,\u201d continues Schwarze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also needed a system that would eliminate wall reflections, attain high speech intelligibility, and attenuate sound onstage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to sound quality considerations, the team was also working with architectural requirements. There were clearly defined rigging points with weight limitations, height restrictions for film performances where speaker hangs would need to be clear of the cinema screen, and pre-configured placement of side- and front-fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With L-Acoustics confirmed as the system of choice for both halls, L-Acoustics Sales Manager Sebastian Wittrock and Martin Rode, Head of Application, Install, began creating the system design. The final configuration for the Gro\u00dfer Sendesaal comprises left\/right hangs of seven Kiva II<\/a> and two SB15m<\/a> subs in a cardioid arrangement. Three L-Acoustics SB18m<\/a> subwoofers are positioned as mobile stacks on either side of the stage, whilst five Kiva II are deployed for side fill. Nine 5XT coaxial loudspeakers are evenly spaced across the stage lip for front fill, ensuring fully distributed sound throughout the auditorium. One 5XT per side also serves for outfill. \u201cKiva II excels in the large hall, where the hexagonal floor plan makes it exceptionally difficult to achieve uniform sound distribution,\u201d Schwarze enthuses. \u201cPreviously, we had major problems with reflections, frequency cancellations, and the resulting poor speech intelligibility. With Kiva II, those issues have been noticeably improved,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kleiner Sendesaal boasts left \/ right hangs of one A10 Focus<\/a> and an A10 Wide<\/a>. Two mobile stacks of two SB18m subs are positioned left and right, again in cardioid mode. continues Schwarze. \u201cA Series was chosen for the small hall as the team wanted a full-range system that could also be highly versatile since subs can\u2019t be flown or placed there,\u201d explains Wittrock. \u201cA Series Panflex variable directivity gives us the ability to steer dispersion in the horizontal plane, preventing unnecessary reflections from the walls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schwarze particularly appreciates the fact that the SB18m subs are mobile. \u201cWe can use them in both halls, depending on the sound requirements, which is great for our ROI,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full system implementation was done by Amptown System Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are really satisfied with the system design for both halls. Our early experiences with the overall sound are extremely positive, especially the low-frequency range, which, even without using the mobile SB18m subs, is impressive,\u201d he concludes. \u201cWe are very much looking forward to the first post-pandemic shows with physical audiences and are confident they appreciate the excellent sonic quality of the new system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
