Located in the city of Gangneung on the east coast of South Korea, Gangneung Ice Arena is an indoor venue that was built for world figure skating and short track speed skating events in 2018 and as a permanent legacy facility for local recreational use.
The design was accurately calculated for the required intelligibility, sound levels, and coverage and was based around Biamp's Community R SERIES loudspeakers. They used forty R2-694Z high power, full-range, three-way loudspeakers to achieve the required sound levels and coverage. These are supplemented by four R2SUBDF subwoofers, which add low-frequency extension and impact for wide bandwidth, and high-quality music.
Additionally, while Gangneung Ice Arena is an indoor venue, ice rinks present challenging climatic conditions and this additionally made the all-weather R SERIES their ideal choice.
