Genelec provides Danish retreat with a Smart IP solution

Set in the hills of the Danish countryside, the HimmerLand resort combines golf and spa facilities with bistros, a bowling alley, outdoor sporting activities and flexible meeting spaces. HimmerLand recently expanded its offering to include a large multipurpose hall, smaller meeting rooms, a golf simulator and fitness centre. Leading the AV design and integration was Comm2ig, a Danish company specialising in technology solutions, who opted for a Genelec Smart IP loudspeaker system.

“The off-axis dispersion of Genelec models is very helpful for meeting rooms”, explains Søren Maibom, solution manager and sound designer at Comm2ig. “HimmerLand also wanted a Nordic design for these spaces, and Genelec’s form factor works well in this context.” Comm2ig chose six of Genelec’s 4430 Smart IP loudspeakers in black for the meeting spaces.

“The Smart IP models offer a local analogue input in addition to being a networked IP solution. They can also be monitored remotely, which is great for troubleshooting”, continues Maibom. As Comm2ig were concluding their work on HimmerLand’s new meeting rooms, the resort threw the integrators a new brief - to completely renovate the resort’s existing bar into the new Larsens Sportsbar & Bistro in a timeframe of five months.

Maibom and his team once again turned to Genelec for help with Larsens. “We decided on another Smart IP solution, comprising a combination of 22 of the 4420 and 4430 models”, he says. As HimmerLand is dedicated to reduce its carbon footprint wherever possible, the low power consumption of the Smart IP family - with its efficient Class D amplifier design and PoE compatibility - aligned with the resort’s values. “The power consumption for the whole system is 120 W”, says Maibom. “When all 22 loudspeakers in the sports bar are run at an SPL of 75 dB, they draw around 5.2 W each.”

On the ground floor, Comm2ig supplied a Smart IP solution across the entrance hall, bar area, seating area and a VIP space for private parties. On the first floor, the volume is louder as it caters for a more typical sports bar/nightclub vibe, so most of the loudspeakers were installed there, alongside four screens that show regular sports content. Additionally, there is a children’s playroom with interactive projection, where a set of Smart IP models are installed, too. AMX is used to control the video and a Q-Sys control system takes care of the audio.
