Askersund Center of Knowledge

Askersund Municipality had a vision to create a centre for knowledge and culture - a building that serves as a gathering place and catalyst for creativity, music, education and information in the municipality.

In addition to Sjöängsskolan for grades 6-9, the goal was to create a building that also houses a multi-purpose hall with 500 seats, a cultural school specializing in music, dance and drama, and to relocate the main library and current adult education there.

Audico (then Bright Installation AB) presented a solution that included the installation, programming and commissioning of a Dolby Atmos system in Askersund Municipality's Knowledge and Culture Centre. In addition, a complete AV system was also installed and commissioned.

The control system for the AV equipment as well as the biosystem is based on a Creston processor with two touch screens, one of which is placed in a table stand at the mixing area and one in the Bright Calling Station placed at the inspection area behind the stage. From both of these screens, it is possible to control the venue by, among other things, selecting pre-set lighting scenes for the stage and venue, adjusting the volume of sound sources, selecting the image source for the projector and making calls to the call system outside the multi-purpose room.

Audico also supplied and installed a new and complete sound system for KKC Askersund Sjöängsskolan's large auditorium, which can accommodate a total of 500 seats. The sound system consisted of a NEXO system that was installed with the aim of improving the sound experience in the hall. The system can also be rigged down and used for events internally in other rooms at Sjöängen as well as externally outside the Sjöäng premises - making the system solution adaptable, flexible and partially mobile today.
