SLX installs Tommex-designed Coda Audio system at Olsztyn’s rebuilt Urania Hall

Urania Hall in Olsztyn, Poland, recently underwent a comprehensive rebuild and refurbishment. Now, with a rebuilt Main Arena, new dome, modern architecture, and additional spaces such as a Small Arena, indoor ice rink, and underground parking, it serves as a key venue for a wide variety of events.

Specialist integrator SLX Sp. z o.o. was engaged to install the audio elements of the project and chose Coda Audio systems for the Main and Small Arenas. The system was designed and supplied by pro audio specialist and Coda Audio distributor Tommex.

Volleyball, basketball, and tennis are some of the sports played in the Main Arena, which can hold more than 4,000 spectators in advanced mobile stands. With a multifunctional floor area of 2,380 sqm and a height of 29 metres, the Arena can also accommodate events such as motocross acrobatic shows.

The Small Arena, with a seating capacity of 1,000, is primarily intended for handball, volleyball, or basketball training. This space can also be rearranged into two or three sectors with full-size courts, thus adapting to current needs from training sessions to corporate meetings, banquets, or celebrations.

The facility presented a number of challenges. In the Main Arena, the combination of a small space between the hall’s acoustic ceiling and the minimum mounting heights of technical elements on the playing area meant that the system had to be lightweight and compact, whilst still powerful enough to ensure the necessary SPL and even distribution.

A total of sixty Coda N-Ray line array units supported by twelve SCV-F subwoofers were chosen for the Main Arena. The Tommex team designed the audio system by using Ease simulation software and Coda’s proprietary System Optimiser prediction software.

Sound reinforcement for the playing area was achieved with the use of six G712-Pro 3-way full range loudspeakers. A further six G712-Pro took care of reinforcement in the 100 capacity Small Arena, with the systems in both Arenas powered by Coda Audio Linus14D DSP amplification.
