The "oldest" fixed circus in Europe, located in Riga, Latvia, has undergone a technological transformation, which sought to improve its audio systems without compromising the historic integrity of the venue.
The project was managed by local integrators RJK, assisted by technology distributor Tet A Tek and architectural company NRJA.
According to an article by K-array, the collective aim was to create a versatile, energy-efficient space that could host various performances.
Rudolfs Busmanis, Project Manager for Business Development at Tet A Tek, discussed some of the benefits of integrating K-array’s audio systems: “The modernised Riga Circus is a multi-purpose space and needed versatile audio support."
“The portable system allows for easy reconfiguration depending on the stage’s location, with cabling running through the centre of the venue to provide power flexibility."
“The technology within the products coupled with K-array's expertise enabled us to overcome the issues inherent in the structure."
Busmanis concluded:
The K-array system has surpassed our expectations. With K-array at its core, the Riga Circus is poised to continue captivating audiences for generations to come.”
K-array’s Mugello-KH2
The circus introduced a 360-degree audio coverage system and a portable system using K-array’s Mugello-KH2,
The lightweight self-powered speaker, which K-array’s website has labelled as “discontinued”, is the smaller line array element in the K-array Mugello Series.
It comes with two eight-inch neodymium magnet woofers, each with a 2.5” voice coil, two compression drivers with a 2.5” voice coil, and a four-channel Class-D amplifier module.
