The Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion Receives a new Sound System
The
Vonovia Ruhrstadion, home to German football club
VfL Bochum 1848, demonstrates its forward-thinking capabilities with another modernization project for the
Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE. In collaboration with
Szenenwerk GmbH &
Co. KG, an innovative sound system has been introduced in the lounge. This project, underpinned by the expert planning of
Elektro Grawe GmbH, which was involved in the stadium's renovation in 2011, marks a new chapter in sound quality.
The installation of the new dBTechnologies sound system transforms the Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE into an acoustic wonderland. This state-of-the-art system not only enhances speech clarity but also amplifies the emotional impact of music, intensifying the experience at various events. The perfectly tuned acoustics lend an unforgettable atmosphere to events, from inspiring talks to energetic music performances.
Thanks to the system's digital control, the sound can be custom-tailored to suit different event sizes, filling every corner of the Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE with vibrant and emotive sound. This ensures an optimal acoustic experience for a variety of event formats. The combination of high-quality speaker technology and digital flexibility allows organizers to personalize the lounge for diverse occasions.
A highlight in the event calendar is the press conference following home games, which can now accommodate up to 1200 visitors in optimal sound quality.
During the modernization, Szenenwerk GmbH, led by Managing Director Dennis Neßler, permanently installed 76 units of dBTechnologies' LVX 8 2-way multifunctional speakers into the ceiling structure. These speakers are noted for their high acoustic performance and superb sound characteristics, guaranteeing top-notch playback properties for clear speech intelligibility and detailed reproduction. Both live music and playback benefit from the dynamic range and clear sound quality, elevating the listening experience in the lounge to a new level.
Ilja Kaenzig, Managing Director at VfL Bochum 1848, expresses enthusiasm about the expansion: "The Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE in the Vonovia Ruhrstadion is a modern and versatile venue that offers space for diverse events. We are proud to provide our guests and partners with a modern and flexible location that we have elevated through this technical upgrade."
Sebastian Kleffmann, Head of the Events Department at VfL Bochum 1848, emphasizes: "The Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE is our flagship for a variety of events. We offer our guests a piece of home and create unforgettable moments – not just for local companies and partners, but nationwide. We are constantly striving to optimize our excellent technical equipment, and we are very pleased with the installation of the new sound system."
The Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE has established itself as a host for over 200 events annually, including congresses, conferences, trade fairs, bar camps, workshops, lectures, and Christmas parties. With its high-quality technology and modern facilities, the lounge is now even better equipped to host unique events. The new dBTechnologies sound system significantly contributes to supporting a wide range of formats with top-class acoustics, making every occasion a memorable experience.
With this investment in acoustic equipment, VfL Bochum 1848 and the Vonovia Ruhrstadion reaffirm their commitment to providing fans with a first-class experience and serving as a key event venue in the city.
Dennis Neßler, Managing Director of Szenenwerk GmbH & Co. KG, comments on the successful implementation: "It's a great pleasure to have elevated the acoustic experience of the Stadtwerke Bochum LOUNGE to the next level. Our expertise in executing sophisticated audio-visual concepts has enabled us to create an event location that leaves a lasting impression."
