Troindheim's Byscenen features an Electro-Voice sound system
Norway - First opened in 1878, the Byscenen in Trondheim is as much a part of the cultural landscape of Norway as the fjords are of its coastline. The latest round of refurbishments saw the standing room capacity of the theatre actually reduced from 1,500 to 600.

The sound reinforcement system newly installed by avon a|s: is based around a XLD compact line-array system from Electro-Voice. It features six EV XLD281, 10 EV XLD291 and four EV XCS312 (subs) as well as four Xsubs, driven by 10 EV TG7 amplifiers and controlled using IRISNet software.

"I love the versatility of the XLD," comments Thomas Denstad, Byscenen's technical director. "We have, for example, two flown subs per side. This means that for shows that do not require an immense amount of low-end pressure, I can dispense altogether with the Xsubs. Here, we present virtually all musical genres, from the classics to punk and even mainstream rock. The XLDmasters absolutely everything."
