An L-Acoustics sound system has updated the Witold Lutoslawski Chamber Philharmonic in Lomza, Poland, powering the musical venue with a state-of-the-art audio complement.
The Philharmonic took the step of rebuilding one of its existing venues, refurbishing it to an ideal specification for music performances. This space would also be used for sports, requiring an audio system that could handle the varying needs of the space.
Distributor Audio Plus was selected as the leading contractor for the project, designing and coordinating all technology elements for the redesign of the building. The system needed to provide top-notch sound reinforcement and blend in with the existing architecture discreetly.
The venue’s main concert hall audio configuration comprises two hangs of eight Kiva II, topped by two SB15 subwoofers with an additional four SB18 subwoofers positioned on the floor of the venue.
Six 5XT compact two-way passive cabinets provide front-fill in the hall, with two X12 point source cabinets mounted beside the main hangs are used as stage fills.
The entire system is powered by five LA4X amplified controllers, with a P1 processor driving the Milan-AVB networked system.
Monitoring for the orchestra is managed via six X12 and two X8 coaxial enclosures powered by three LA4X amplified controllers. Sound booth monitoring comprises two 108P cabinets.
Jan Milosz Zarzycki, general and artistic director, Lomza Philharmonic, commented: “We intended to create a venue with the ideal aesthetics and technical specification to befit a world-leading classical company.
“The audio system in the refurbished concert hall has not only met our expectations, but it has exceeded them. We are thankful for the excellent project management from Audio Plus. We are particularly thrilled by the architectural subtlety that the L-Acoustics installation has brought to the project, and the team is amazed at the results.”
