Wuppertal arts centre opts for RCF
- Details
To prepare for all event possibilities, the venue management opted for permanently installed loudspeaker systems from RCF and combined them with mobile components. As a long-standing partner, taking care of day-to-day operations in the areas of audio and stage technology, Guido Ogrzewalla’s company Safe in Sound was commissioned with planning and installation of the new system.
“All components are connected to RDNet and can be controlled perfectly, and in great detail, so we can achieve the best possible sound result for every event situation.”
The Immanuelskirche has been an arts centre operated by a supporting association for 35 years. With three stages, side galleries and the apse, various possibilities for organising events for chamber concerts, jazz evenings, weddings, or conferences are available. Guido Ogrzewalla opted for a mixture of permanently installed components and mobile stage sound systems to find the best possible and most flexible solution.
Janine Ballein, managing director of the arts centre Immanuel, comments: “When modernising our audio system, it was crucial to us that we could flexibly cover the uncommon event and stage situations with the new audio components. Our mix of fixed and mobile loudspeakers also reduces our set-up effort enormously.”
On the walls, Safe in Sound installed four RCF VSA 2050 and eight RCF VSA 1250 modules (each in white); active beam-steering column speakers, equipped with 20 or 12 3.5” speakers, depending on the version. Their design alone makes them fit neatly into the architecture and the nave of the Immanuel church.
As mobile stage sound units, four RCF SUB 905-AS II in cardioid mode and six RCF TT052-A modules, which are placed as near-fills on the stage, are in place. In case special stage monitors are required, additional RCF HD 10-A units are available, combined with additional components from Safe in Sound’s stock.
Guido Ogrzewalla sums up: “The RCF products work very well together, regardless of whether they are permanently installed or mobile on stage. All components are connected to RDNet and can be controlled perfectly, and in great detail, so we can achieve the best possible sound result for every event situation.”
