“With Smart IP, amplification is built into each loudspeaker and power is delivered over the network, which makes installation, maintenance and system expansion much more straightforward,” said Terbeck. “We also gained a high degree of flexibility for individual controls. If the audio concept ever moves from a unified soundscape towards more defined zones, this can be reconfigured through the network with minimum adjustments to the physical installation.”
“The minimal and clean design of the Genelec pendant speakers was, alongside the outstanding audio quality, a decisive factor for a project like Pitch,” said Sebastian Bayer, project manager at Mike Tec. “The venue is so elaborately designed from a visual standpoint that it was important that the technical side would add to this rather than distract from it.”
Once Pitch had officially opened its doors to visitors, the Genelec sound system supported the facility’s atmosphere.
“The result is a natural and impactful, yet never overbearing, listening experience,” said Terbeck. “Music at Pitch is exactly what it should be – an essential part of the experience that never forces itself to the foreground. The focus remains where it belongs: on playing together, connecting with others and sharing something out of the ordinary.”
