Qumak S.A. has installed an extensive Dynacord sound system in the new 15,500-
seater Arena Lublin in Lublin, Poland – home of the Polish second division football
club Motor Lublin. A P64 controller, a Promatrix digital matrix manager and DSA
amplifiers – all from Dynacord – are delivering recorded music and announcements
with ease. The system is also fully qualified for the vital duties of voice evacuation.

Three years in construction, the Arena Lublin has a capacity of 15,500. Although
comparatively small, it boasts ultra-modern facilities – especially when it comes to
sound. The system installed is sufficiently versatile to meet the needs of music
reproduction, announcements and voice evacuation. The stadium owners had asked
for uncompromised audio quality and a system that was easy to use, all while
meeting their budget requirements.

After careful comparisons and exhaustive tests, a clear winner emerged: the
solution proposed by Warsaw-based installation specialists Qumak S.A., based on a
P64 digital audio matrix manager, DSA multi-channel power amplifiers and a
Promatrix DPM 8016 digital matrix manager – all from Dynacord.

The system is flexible and sophisticated, capable of delivering targeted messages to
eleven different zones within the stadium. Five zones are assigned to the playing
field and seating areas and six zones to the interior of the building. Two sub-racks
equipped with Dynacord components power the loudspeaker enclosures, while a
fiber-optic ring assures maximum reliability. The Dynacord amplifiers are equipped
with RCM-810 modules that provide remote supervision and control; users also have
the entire system in view and at their fingertips thanks to a custom-configured
IRIS-Net software interface. The control room is also equipped with a Dynacord
CMS 1600 mixer and two PWS wall panels from Electro-Voice.

The results are convincing. “The system has cleared every hurdle,’ reports
Krzysztof Korwin-Mikke of Qumak S.A. “It’s reliable, easy to operate and
outstanding value for money. Our customers are more than happy!’
