Musis Arnhem concert hall upgrades with L-Acoustics
Musis Arnhem, one of the Netherlands’ oldest concert halls, has completed a major audio upgrade to meet the evolving needs of its diverse programming. The venue, hosting over 100 concerts annually across various genres, has installed an L-Acoustics L Series loudspeaker system in the Parkzaal.
L-Acoustics Certified Partner Fairlight spearheaded the design and implementation of the new system. Among the challenges the project presented were the need to accommodate the 2,000-capacity Parkzaal’s diverse range of events (from classical to contemporary), and its distinctive 16 by 11-metre glass back wall overlooking the Musis park.
The new sound system had to deliver high sound pressure levels with uniformity across all listener positions while maintaining a low noise floor for classical concerts and corporate events. The system needed to adapt to the hall’s adjustable acoustics, including reflective oak walls and 400 sound-absorbing panels, while minimising visual impact in the venue. Additionally, the team had to address the complex acoustic environment created by the balcony design.
They utilised L-Acoustics Soundvision software to overcome these challenges during the design process. This tool allowed them to test and refine various configurations virtually, ensuring optimal coverage and performance before the physical installation began.
The system design includes a main PA of one L2 and one L2D per side, plus four KS21 per side, complemented by eight KS21 subwoofers for low-end reinforcement. Four A10 Wide speakers serve as in-fills, with three 5XT providing front-fill coverage. The system is powered by four LA7.16i, and two LA12X and LA2Xi amplified controllers, with processing handled by the P1 processor and networked via LS10 Milan-AVB switches.
