Powersoft, RCF called on to kit out Finnish winter sports venue

Imatra Stadium, a new winter sports venue in Finland, has been fitted with a range of amplifiers supplied by Powersoft Audio, which specialises in the manufacturing of the devices.

The amplifiers are being used to maximise some 30 loudspeakers that have been installed at the stadium by audio products developer RCF.

Technology specialist Audico Systems was called on to aid the search for suppliers of the loudspeakers and amplifiers. The company’s project manager, Ilkka Hilden, said the decision to select Powersoft and RCF was an easy one.

“We had been using RCF P-series for many outdoor applications and knew that they are capable of handling high output and producing very high quality sound,” Hilden said, according to the Audio Media International website.

“As we are situated in Finland, and the weather conditions are quite harsh, it is a very demanding environment for speakers, and so we specified P3115-T for the audience areas and P6215 for the field, as the distances are bigger. As for amplification, the Powersoft Ottocanali 8K4 was also a natural choice throughout.”

The venue will be used for winter sports such as skiing, roller skiing and biathlon, as well as baseball.
