Outline Sound for the Balashikha Arena
For sound reinforcement at the Balashikha in Moscow, the home arena of the great ‘MVD MO' ice hockey team, located in the town of the same name, almost 100 Outline loudspeaker systems have been permanently installed. They are a combination of line-array, point source and stage monitor systems. This is just the latest of numerous prestigious references for the Brescia (Italy) manufacturer, which has been involved with the Russian market for over 20 years.
The main rig at the Balashikha comprises 32 Outline Doppia II A 9075 enclosures (2x12", 1x10"; 1x3"), flown in pairs round the perimeter of the hockey rink and aimed at the tiered spectator seating, in order to amplify the music and any announcements with sufficient SPL and high intelligibility. As far as reinforcement on the actual rink is concerned, four more Outline Doppia II A 9075 are flown in a single cluster in the exact centre of the rink for this purpose.
A sound system for live concerts was also requested for the Balashikha and a transportable rig was chosen, also taking into account the precise requirements for events also staged outside the arena. For this purpose, two Outline Butterfly line arrays were flown alongside the stage, with a total of 24 CDH 483 Hi-Packs and 12 CDL 1815 Lo-Packs, used along with eight floor-installed Subtech 218s for the amplification of the bottom end. On-stage, artists have 12 Outline H.A.R.D. 115 SP stage monitors at their disposal.
To amplify and control the Outline enclosures installed at the Balashikha, Outline T series power amplifiers and Genius signal processors were chosen. The system was installed by Moscow's Koemart, one of Outline's Russian distributors.
