The Israel Expo Centre has undergone an audio upgrade with the implementation of L-Acoustics L-ISA Hyperreal technology for the two-and-a-half-month Tozeret Haaretz event series. This marks a shift from traditional temporary sound systems to a consistent, high-precision audio environment capable of accommodating varied performance requirements.
Sincopa, an L-Acoustics Certified Provider with over 20 years of industry expertise, engineered a flexible 7.1 frontal configuration that addresses the venue's specific acoustic challenges while providing accurate sound reproduction for audiences of up to 6,500 attendees.
The technical implementation features five main hangs of one L2 and one L2D, complemented by two extensions of nine Kara II loudspeakers on each side. This multi-array approach significantly enhances spatial localisation—precisely placing sound sources across the stage while eliminating the narrow "sweet spot" limitations of conventional stereo setups.
Low-frequency reproduction is managed through two centre-flown arrays of three KS28 subwoofers, while a pair of Syva colinear speakers provide out-fill. Seven Kara II places along the stage provide spatial front-fill. The entire system is fed directly from an L-ISA Processor II in an AVB Redundant network and powered by ten LA7.16 and thirteen LA12X amplified controllers.
To facilitate rapid adoption of L-ISA technology, Sincopa established an on-site pre-production studio where visiting engineers can familiarise themselves with the L-ISA Controller software before live events and prepare their show file before their show. This preparation environment allows for spatial mixing strategies to be developed and tested prior to moving into the main venue.
