An array of 58 Genelec 4020 Installation loudspeakers has been installed in a 28-storey tower in Aarhus, Denmark, as part of a full AV installation. TuneButler, a Copenhagen-based control manufacturer, designed the sound and music system for the large building, with its co-working spaces, gyms, lounge areas, cafes and a rooftop terrace – as well as 652 rental apartments and hotel rooms.
Three TuneButler MFB Music Players control both the background music and multiple NEC screens on the basement and ground floor. At the centre of the system is a Q-SYS Core 8 Flex control processor that targets the processing requirements of the yoga studio, reception and lounge areas via Q-SYS iPads with zone control. Each of these areas features a selection of Genelec 4020 loudspeakers in both black and white finishes.
On the first floor of Unity Aarhus, TuneButler installed two black 4020 models in three separate meeting rooms, alongside three NEC MultiSync E658 screens and three Biamp Impera Uniform 8 control pads. Additionally, the library houses four 4020 loudspeakers in white. A large events space sits on the 12th floor, where TuneButler integrated eight more 4020 loudspeakers, alongside a Biamp Impera Uniform 8, NEC MultiSync screen and a TuneButler MFB Media Player.
The British design studio Tom Dixon produced the minimalist design for the interiors, where each separate space has a unique AV system.
“We’ve been working with Unity since they opened their first location in Stockholm,” said Kasper Hollænder, CEO, TuneButler. “They wanted to create an appealing atmosphere for customers and, of course, music and sound is a huge part of that.
“The individual spaces demanded individual specifications, and the system also had to deliver information and services. With Genelec you have great sound everywhere. Whether that’s in the meeting rooms, the home cinema, or a fitness environment where the bass is required to be a little punchier.”
