The Municipal Culture Centre in the beautiful central Polish town of Gostynin, serving as a jewel in the community hub of the area for over three decades, recently completed an ambitious refurbishment project. This included levelling up the venue’s audio capabilities to meet the demands of its busy music, theatre, and cinema programme. As part of the meticulous plans to create a hybrid between the venue’s history next to tastefully-conceived modernity for its next chapter, CODA Audio was carefully chosen to be the audio solution for this refurbishment project.
A crucial element of this comprehensive project was upgrading the venue’s outdated technological infrastructure. Leading audio specialist Tommex was engaged to design, supply, and install a high-quality sound reinforcement system tailored to meet the demanding requirements of a varied program schedule, which regularly includes both theatre productions and live concerts.
Tommex determined that CODA Audio’s N-APS system was the optimal solution for the compact auditorium. The N-APS is classified as an ultra-compact arrayable point source, a unique system that successfully combines the versatile coverage patterns of a point source loudspeaker with the arraying capability of a line array. This design makes the dual 6.5-inch, 2-way system particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized venues requiring precise, high-definition sound.
The flown main system installed at the Centre comprises three N-APS units and two N-SUB compact 15-inch subwoofers deployed per side. This arrangement is acoustically supplemented by a single, centrally-mounted CODA Audio G512 full-range 12-inch unit positioned above the stage. Further coverage is achieved with four CODA Audio D5-Cube ultra-compact 2-way coaxial 5-inch loudspeakers, which are integrated at the stage lip to provide essential front-fill.
The entire system is powered and managed by two CODA Audio LINUS14D DSP amplifiers, operating on a Dante network. This digital audio networking ensures maximum flexibility in signal routing and guarantees consistent audio integrity. Thanks to this new implementation, the Gostynin Culture Centre is now equipped with next-generation audio technology capable of delivering clear, powerful sound across its broad range of stage events.
For the global sales and marketing director for CODA Audio, David Webster, the new audio system was determined to be another successful element of the project. He said, “Tommex continues to do great work deploying CODA Audio systems across a full range of installation projects in Poland. CODA has a system for every size and scale of application, and our N-Series ultra-compact loudspeakers are perfect for small to medium-sized Centres like the one at Gostynin, giving them the versatility to stage every type of music and theatre production without compromise.”
