Oslo's Byens Tak is a breathtaking event space that offers panoramic views of the cityscape and surrounding fjords. By day, the venue functions as a co-working space and hosts professional meetings, requiring flawless speech intelligibility. By night, it transforms into an atmospheric bar and club, demanding powerful, immersive sound for DJ sets and live performances.
For a flexible, high-quality sound system that overcame the venue's unique architectural challenges, AV distributor Benum Norway specified two Renkus-Heinz IC Live Gen5 column arrays, complemented by two SA118S subwoofers.
âThe IC Live Gen5 models are powerful yet incredibly discreet. We could color-match them to the venueâs walls, making them almost invisible,â Benum's Daniel Glaister notes. âWith beam steering, we could direct the sound exactly where it needed to be, avoiding problem areas and ensuring speech clarity as well as high-energy sound for DJ performances.â
