The 365-seat Lillesal stage at Olavshallen, a multi-venue performing arts centre in Trondheim, Norway, has installed a Vue Audiotechnik al-8 compact line array as the house system. The new sound system was installed by avon, Vue’s exclusive distributor for the Nordic region, to replace the prior system in the now 30-year old facility.
‘After many demos and listening tests inside Lillesal and other Vue installs – including Dokkhuset and Verkstedhallen – the client selected Vue and avon as suppliers for this huge upgrade,’ says avon co-founder, Edgar Andraa Lien.
Among the most prominent performing arts venues in Norway, the new install at Olavshallen was overseen by Technical Manager, Henrik Torgersen. It comprises two hangs of eight al-8s, with two al-8SB flyable subwoofers per side, and two h-8s for front fill.
In one of the first installations of the recently released e-Class nano loudspeakers, four e-352s provided side-fill support, with an additional two e-352s as FOH monitors. Five VueDrive V6-d Systems Engines with custom presets provide sophisticated networked DSP and amplification for the entire system.
Citing on-hand inventory and Vue’s ease of set-up, avon was able to install the system two days earlier than scheduled, enabling the venue to re-open and book events ahead of schedule. Client feedback has been true to avon’s reputation: ‘Thanks to Vue, our patrons and visiting acts alike will enjoy great sound for many, many years to come,’ Torgersen says. ‘Thanks to Edgar and his team for a top installation.’
