The Kharkov Philharmonic Society recently revamped the sound systems in the Organ Hall and Concert Hall at its performance centre in the Ukraine city of Kharkov. Local distributor Indigo Music handled the installation.
Founded in 1929, the Kharkov Philharmonic Society is a philharmonic association in Kharkov, Ukraine, one of the oldest and best recognised organisations in the country. The Academic Symphony Orchestra of more than 100 musicians, most of whom have won awards in national and international competitions, owns the centre, which is among the country’s cultural organisations promoting classical, contemporary and folk music.
Twelve Aero-20A line array elements, together with six UX-218A for low frequency support, were installed in the Concert Hall. A single DASNet Rack-26 manages signal and power distribution, making system control and monitoring possible through DASnet.
The Indigo Music team also installed a line array system comprising 22 Event-210A systems for the stage of the Organ Hall, which are supplement by four Event-218A subwoofers to boost the low frequencies. The system was rounded out with Event-M210A stage monitors and two DAS, DSP-2040 digital signal processors.
‘The advantages of using the Aero-20A systems are obvious, thanks to the powerful DSP of each Aero system, which can have a FIR filter per box and thus adapt to the needs of each show, offering spectacular uniformity in frequency response and even correcting the sound directivity exclusively to the audience,’ an Indigo Music representative says.
‘The colour customisation of the line array meant we could reduce the visual impact of the systems on the stage. It’s not always necessary, but in this case, where the visual design of the stage plays a main role, the result is superb.’
