A Korean power provider in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, in the province of Gyeongsang, recently opened headquarters and installed Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers. The products were supplied by local distributor DK Vascom.
Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers were installed at the large auditorium, a number of conferencing rooms and an outdoors sports arena.
Patrick Han from DK Vascom said: “Some time ago, the company had a problem with the pubic address system within its employee apartments. They couldn't solve the problem, but a company named Sein Co Ltd - our local partner in Gyeongsang province - looked at the issue and fixed it immediately. Since then the supervisors have recommended Sein and Renkus-Heinz to everyone."
The relationship led to Sein being brought into the construction of the new headquarters, with the company's owner, Munbum Kim, taking a personal interest in the design of the high profile project. Working with him was project manager Jinwoo Park, while Chansun Choi from DK Vascom offered support throughout the construction.
One of the challenges of the project was a blind spot. The auditorium's balcony was unusually high, meaning the first four rows of second-tier seating were not covered. The problem was solved with the use of RHAON software which was used to reconfigure and recalibrate the Renkus-Heinz solution.
The main front of house reinforcement within the auditorium is now served by a total of 22 self-powered PN102LA series line arrays modules, with low-end support delivered by four CFX15S subwoofers. An additional 18 TRX61 two-way enclosures, equipped with 6.5-inch LF drivers provide additional coverage, alongside eight TRX81 enclosures, loaded with 8-inch woofers.
Four TRX82 models complete the auditorium system, with mixing done on a Midas M32 digital console. Elsewhere in the complex, the facility's four conferencing rooms also benefit from the same high fidelity. Three are served with pairs of TRX82 enclosures, but a high ceiling within the largest of the four caused reverberation issues. DK Vascom and Sein solved this problem with IC8 digitally steerable Iconyx columns.
Finally, the facility's outdoor sports arena offered another opportunity to impress, when an unexpected rainstorm proved the water-resistant credentials of the two TRX 81/9W and four TRX121/9 enclosures that serve the area.
