Electrical installation company Lindpro made no compromises when selecting the public address and voice alarm systems for the complex. "We chose Bosch Security Systems for several reasons. They were the only producer on the market able to meet the challenges presented by the new complex, and also because Bosch had the widest range of loudspeakers," says Henrik Olsen, product manager responsible for PA and voice alarm system installation at Lindpro.
Each of the segments of DR Byen has its own specific requirements so it was not possible to use one solution for all segments. To provide optimum functionality in all segments, Lindpro chose to install Plena PA and voice alarm systems in the segments housing the studios, offices, depots and administration and in the interconnecting street. For the new concert hall, they installed a Praesideo digital system.
The loudspeaker installation in the concert hall also had to meet the very demanding architectural standards of the hall designed by French architect Jean Nouvel. Lindpro met this challenge by hiding the loudspeakers for the voice alarm system in artificial organ pipes placed in front of the real organ pipes. Lindpro chose Intellivox Active Line Array Loudspeakers from Bosch because of their special acoustic characteristics which can be adjusted by software to match any environment.
