Cvetli?arna Mediapark in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is one of the most popular small/medium concert facilities in the area
Slovenia - Cvetli?arna Mediapark. located in the heart of the downtown area of Ljubljana is the most popular small/medium concert facility in the area. Featuring every musical style from hip hop, rock, heavy metal, and pop to a wide range of house and disco DJ's, Cvetli?arna Mediapark has a long history of hosting concerts and other entertainment events. Recently, the club upgraded its sound reinforcement system to better serve its customers and the acts that perform there. They opted for a sizeable system from the Aero Series 2 and Avant catalogues of D.A.S. Audio.

Litija, Slovenia-based MK Light Sound was contracted to handle the installation of the new sound system. Manager Mice Karov comments: "Cvetli?arna Mediapark has a capacity of 650 people. The venue is 21m long by 24m wide, with a ceiling height of about 5m and a permanent stage area. With crowds of this size, we wanted to make certain that, in addition to providing solid music reproduction capabilities; the system delivered a high degree of speech intelligibility."

To ensure even dispersion throughout the space and adequate SPL regardless of the type of act, Karov and his team installed four clusters of D.A.S. Audio Aero 12A powered line array elements. The left-right mains are each comprised of six Aero 12As while two additional clusters - each consisting of two Aero 12A's - are deployed at the far sides to ensure even coverage at the extreme ends of the room. Low frequency support is provided by eight D.A.S. Audio LX-218A powered subwoofers that are evenly distributed under the stage area.

For stage and drum-fills for the performers, the MK Sound crew deployed three D.A.S. Audio Avant 215A powered 2-way enclosures along with three Avant 18A powered subwoofers. Additionally, there are eight D.A.S. Audio SM-15A powered, 2-way stage monitors available to the performers upon request. Loudspeaker management tasks are handled by a D.A.S. Audio DSP-4080 stereo/mono processor.

Karov adds: "We've been very impressed with both the sound quality and features of the D.A.S. equipment. The self-powered design of the equipment not only eliminates the issue of mating suitable power amplifiers with the loudspeakers, it eliminates the challenge of where to house the amp racks and streamlines system cabling.

Cvetli?arna Mediapark's installation was completed late November 2009. Since then, numerous acts have performed with the new equipment, including Darryl McDaniels ('DMC' of Run DMC), Benjamin Begovi?, and DJ Aleksij. "The reaction from the club owner, bands, and sound technicians has been just great," says Karov. "Everyone has been very pleased with the system, its sound quality, and the power it provides. When the customer is happy, I'm happy."
