Dynacord ProAnnounce and EV NetMax (running IRIS-Net software) systems form the heart of these installations in stadia across Germany, integrated with a wide range of custom-installed EV loudspeakers and remote-control Precision Series amplifiers. The installations at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and Allianz Arena in Munich are shining examples of how to sound great whilst ensuring the safety of tens of thousands of fans.
The system at Olympic Stadium is comprised of a Dynacord ProMatrix (ProAnnounce in the US) life safety system, 171 XLC127+ line array boxes, and 38 P1200RL, 43 P3000RL and 2 P900RT remote-control amplifiers running IRIS-Net software. The historic stadium – a mass of masonry and classical grandeur -- is complimented by a vast steel framed canopy, inside which the amp racks and XLC arrays are mounted in specially designed weatherproof enclosures.
The star of the Allianz Arena installation is its network of 23 EV NetMax N8000 digital signal routing, control and monitoring units, which integrate an unprecedented level of sound reinforcement and life safety flexibility and connectivity into the stadium system, comprised of 82 Xf, 72 Xi-2181, and 96 EVID 6.2T loudspeakers, 4 P900RT, 14 P1200RL and 53 P3000RL amplifiers, 49 Dynacord DPA4245, 68 Dynacord DPA4260 and 7 Dynacord DPA4140 amplifiers, and 1 Midas Venice 240 console.
Right before World Cup Fever kicked into high gear, Telex Communications and EVI Audio invited over 120 consultants, contractors and members of the press to participate in a three-day World Cup Stadium Tour in Germany. Look for additional coverage across the industry press.
