Included in the facilities is a d&b sound system comprising compact E3 and E0 loudspeakers with Qsubwoofers, all colour co-ordinated to match the black and white theme of the surroundings.
In the main presentation area, a giant screen is surrounded by E3s to provide a T0 point for the sound with E0s front and back in a circular configuration to provide the delays. The system was supplied by d&b's Dutch partner Audio Pro Nederland and was designed by their own Rolf Dijkstra, whilst Euro PA of Rotterdam carried out the installation.
"The d&b audiotechnik system was chosen specifically because of the clarity of speech it could produce," said Dijkstra. "This is particularly important for this type of venue."
