Overview

 

Situated on the Baltic coast, the city of Norrköping and its neighbour Linköping together form Sweden’s fourth largest urban region, with nearly half a million inhabitants and 36,000 companies based there.

Together the cities are booming, with IT a particularly successful business area. This is partly due to Linköping University, which has major campuses in both cities and is one of Sweden’s most successful educational facilities. With 25,000 students distributed over three faculties — Arts and Sciences, Technology and Health Sciences — and close ties with both the private and public sectors, Linköping University also has become a major Swedish research base.

5,500 of the students are based at the Norrköping campus, a number that has grown rapidly in the past decade. The University’s first Student Union facility in Norrköping was built in 1997. But the premises quickly became too small and the operation was moved to a new location in 2000. The new facility quickly became popular among students and the number of hosted activities grew significantly, with the result that another, even bigger, venue was required

There are three actual Student Unions active in the University — LinTek, Consensus, and StuFF. All wanted to improve the project further, unifying students from the different courses under one roof while also creating an attractive and appealing base for contacts with trade and industry.

In late 2006, the new Student Union facility was opened in a refurbished former 19th century spinning mill. Featuring a restaurant, café, pub, and a main hall with a stage for musical performances, the new facility is named "Trappan" (The Stairway) and is very popular with both students and industry representatives.

The DME24N Distributes Outstanding Sound to Multiple Areas

In order to ensure that Trappan’s audio specification matched its facilities, a Yamaha distributed audio system was installed by Åke "Myggan" Wennersten of PADAB Ljud & amp; Ljus AB, Sweden. Åke is a senior and successful Yamaha contractor in Scandinavia, with a huge number of projects behind him. These include the Gothenburg City Theatre and the De Geer Concert House in Norrköping.

A DME24N Digital Mixing Engine, with four PC9501N and one P7000S power amplifiers drives a number of the critically acclaimed Yamaha Installation series speakers including four IF2115/64W mid/highs, two IF2115/99W mid/highs and four IS1218 subs. The system is installed in Trappan’s main hall.

The system is designed to provide sound reinforcement for live music, conferences, and DJs. It also sends signal to loudspeakers in a small bar behind the main hall, plus a bigger pub on a lower floor in addition to the main system. There are audio inputs in the big pub that can be broadcast through all the system’s loudspeakers as well as in the permanent DJ booth.

Product Quality and Customer Care — Second to None

Åke Wennersten comments: "I have being working with Yamaha products for over 10 years and our relationship has always been excellent. I know I can trust the equipment completely. Yamaha has a wide range of products and all are of very high quality with regard to both sound quality and reliability," he continues. "In addition their customer service is second-to-none, from pre-sales through to aftercare. These factors make Yamaha a very reliable and trustworthy partner to work with, which is of great value to both us and our customers."
