Globus is a multipurpose hall with an ice rink and an audience capacity of 5000 people, the facility has the ability to host hockey, volleyball, basketball, and music events. The project encountered numerous challenges from poor acoustic reverberation time to stringent fire proof specifications.
The solution chosen therefore had to be a central cluster, using the power of Biamp's Community R2s. They chose the asymmetrical R2-694X. The well-controlled dispersion of the loudspeaker enabled the design to avoid serious reflections from vertical walls, particularly in the corners. Another important consideration in choosing Biamp's Community R-Series was that the products are inherently well suited for an ice arena application. Being weather resistant they would not be susceptible to the usual corrosion caused by the humid environment found in this type of facility. Seven Community R2-694X and six Community R.5-66TX make up the main cluster.
The final result was a unique 2-in-1 system that performs remarkably in this difficult environment and combines a voice alarm system and a sports facility sound system. Now installed, the system meets all of the parameters set by the client, the architects and the Fire Protection Department.
