The Golden Hall is more than just a concert venue; it also hosts numerous lectures and public readings. Because it handles so many types of public events, there is a need for a high-quality sound system that is met with four channels of the AKG WMS 400 wireless system. A mobile lectern has been equipped with a CK 33 capsule on a modified GN 50 gooseneck that can also be connected to a bodypack transmitter to eliminate unnecessary extra microphone cables, which allows for optimal sound as well as good space conservation. All of the microphones are controlled by an AKG AS 8 automatic mixer and monitored by AKG headphones using the K 207 reference.
"The Golden Hall is simply the finest and most beautiful concert hall in the world," said Alfred Reinprecht, AKG's vice-president of marketing and product management. "The acoustics are impeccable, the sound system is extraordinary, and the venue is designed beautifully. I couldn't imagine a better musical experience.
"The acoustics of the building are already unbeatable. But when you add the sound system that is in place, it provides an up-front sound that is simply beyond words."
