The system was designed and installed by Tommex, Audica Professional's exclusive distributor for Poland. In addition to requiring the highest possible sound quality, the loudspeakers had to merge technology with the elaborate historic architecture of the room and Tommex proposed Audica MICROline and MICROpoint for their slim unobtrusive shape and neutral colour.
The system in the eight metre high Auditorium uses a distributed system, with ten MICROlines in pairs forming the basis. MICROlines' ability to be directed as required by their mounting brackets with no fixing or wires showing was an important feature in meeting both aesthetic and acoustic requirements. The MICROlines are controlled and driven by three MICROzone controller/amplifiers.
With the MICROlines providing even and consistent coverage, with good intelligibility and level throughout the room, Tommex added a pair of larger Dynacord D8 loudspeakers at the front to provide focus. Audica Professional MICROpoint loudspeakers provide additional fill and Klark Tecknik electronics were used for signal processing and room equalisation.
