Bodenseeforum is a new conference venue located at the centre of Europe’s ‘four country region’ of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. Its versatility as a venue required an audio mixing system that is similarly flexible. Reflecting the ‘modular’ operation of venue, three Yamaha QL1 digital consoles were chosen for the task.
Overlooking the River Rhine, where it links the lower and upper regions of Lake Konstanz, the 2,000m2 centre is designed to allow all of its spaces to be configured to the size and seating requirements of any event. With many possible combinations of plenum, breakout room and foyer available, the audio set-up needed to be able to deliver high-quality sound, regardless of how the space is configured.
Stefan Praxl, founder of Praxl Licht- & Tontechnik chose the solution of three Yamaha QL1s, plus a Rio1608-D I/O unit. ‘It needed to be able to work with a Dante network and be familiar to visiting sound engineers from across the world,’ he explains. ‘The QL1s seamlessly integrate with the Dante-based IT infrastructure and loudspeaker systems. With instant recall of presets and the addition of the Rio1608-D for larger events, the system can be reconfigured very quickly. It is the ideal mixing solution for such a versatile venue.’
