Cultural Centre Poleeni is located at the heart of the Pieksamäki and includes a library, exhibition facilities and a large performance hall. Poleeni’s diverse programme ranges from lectures and stand-up nights to concerts and theatricals.
The procurement of the new sound system for the hall was carried out by means of a public tender, in which all the major PA manufacturers participated. One of the key selection criteria was a test performance arranged in Poleeni. Based on the competition, the NEXO GEO M series line array was selected as the new system.
The system is comprised of twelve GEO M10 speakers and three L20 subwoofers in a cardioid setup. Four NEXO ID24 speakers were added to the front edge of the stage to complete the audio picture of the front rows of seats. These installation model speakers, like the other speakers in the system, are equipped with fabric-covered front grilles.
The ID24 speakers ended up in the original order to ensure that the sound coverage would be as even as possible, and the sound direction would be correct even in the middle front row seats. The amplifiers are NXAMP4x4MK2 and NXAMP4x2MK2, and the system is controlled by the manufacturer’s NeMo software. In addition, two Nexo P10 loudspeakers were installed for rear/surround use.
Poleeni was already equipped with six Nexo P12 loudspeakers and an NXAMP4x2MK2 amplifier, which were connected.
The installation was completed together with Poleeni’s technical staff. At the time of commissioning, the staff was trained in the use of the system by Minka Matikainen, Technical Specialist at Electro Waves.
