GR Eventtechnik supplies Federal Government event with Coda Audio system

The German Federal Government’s Digital Summit 2023 took place November last year in the city of Jena. Around 1000 participants from the worlds of business, science and politics got together to discuss issues surrounding digital transformation in the new era. The technical production was handled by Quickborn-based GR Eventtechnik who chose Coda Audio for sound reinforcement. The stage design was created by Facts and Fiction GmbH.

Steffan Grimm, Co-Managing Director at GR Eventtechnik, outlines the brief: “The event, which took place in the Ernst Abbe Hall in the Volkshaus, Jena, required maximum speech intelligibility. Another important factor to be considered was that the visual axes to the stage could not be compromised. Also, the stage area was to be as clean as possible - placing speakers on or near the stage was not desirable.” Grimm chose a system based on Coda Audio’s TiRay line array.

“We carried out the necessary calculations using Coda Audio’s System Optimiser prediction software and designed a system that would deliver complete, precise coverage without any compromise of sight lines”, says Grimm who determined a main hang consisting of left and right arrays of six TiRay each, a centre hang of three TiRay and a sub-array comprising six G15-Sub in a sub arc configuration (with a distance of 90 cm from each other).

Four Hops5 (flown on the projection truss) were used as the delay line, eight D5-Cube took care of the near field area and four Hops5 took care of the stage monitoring (“as a shower in the PA truss”). Amplification was delivered by three Linus14D (played via the in-house Dante network) and two Linus14D (behind the stage for subwoofer and near-field speakers).
