TT+ installation for new Himos Arena in Finland
The Himos Arena is a new multi purpose hall situated in the middle of Finland at Jämsä.
The resort consists of two separate sky areas namely the Western and Northern slopes. The fast growing resort boasts a variety of accommodation including chalets, hotels as well as restaurants, conference facilities and the newly opened Himos Arena.
Timo Kunnas of Noretron, RCF’s distributor in Finland explains, “We had carried out several demonstrations of the new line array system here in Finland, so when this project came up we put the TT+ forward for it”. The design and installation of the system was carried out by Jämsän Discofix Ltd. Ville Rantanen takes up the story, “The arena is very large and is used for a variety of different events including live bands and discos. We needed a system that would cover the entire area. By side flying the TTL 33A’s together with the TTS 28A subs under the stage it gave us the coverage we wanted”
They also specified Acustica C3110’s compact units for the front fill, delay speakers as well as using a pair of them for the DJ monitors. For the rest of the delay speakers 19 RCF MQ 50’s were used.
Timo sums the installation, “This is our first time using TT+ in a fixed situation, the installation was simple and very fast, and actual system set-up took no time at all, with just minor room eq needed. Discofix have done an excellent job for us and we look forward to working both the TT+ and Ville
again”.
Timo continues, “The TT+ products are certainly of a very high standard, in both audio and build quality, and offer real value to any install or rental companies. In fact when I initially heard the products I could not believe the audio quality and sheer output, the line array was a real surprise, not only is it compact but it’s a true full range compact system link that with the subs and the system really does rock. The products offer real high end audio, similar to that of more recognised touring, theatre and arena loudspeaker brands, but in a more affordable format. RCF have always been a good quality loudspeaker manufacturer and one that we have been associated with for a while now, and the TT+ range has now give us a new customer database to aim at push the brand “
