DAS Audio and its Systems at the Kharkov Philharmonic in Ukraine Founded in October 1929, the Kharkov Philharmonic Society is a philharmonic association in Kharkov, Ukraine, one of the oldest and most recognized organizations in the country. The Academic Symphony Orchestra, composed of more than 100 prestigious musicians, most of whom have won awards in national and international competitions, owns the center. The center is one of the major cultural organizations that promotes classical, contemporary, and folk music in the country, which translates into a significant contribution to culture in Ukraine. The philharmonic recently revamped the sound systems in its "Organ Hall" and "Concert Hall." Indigo Music, official distributor of DAS Audio in Ukraine, was called in to handle the installation. Twelve AERO-20A line array systems, together with 6 UX-218A for low frequency support, were installed in the "Concert Hall." A single DASNET RACK-26 manages signal and power distribution, making system control and monitoring possible through DASnet. "The advantages of using the AERO-20A systems are obvious, thanks to the powerful DSP of each AERO system, which can have a FIR filter per box and thus adapt to the needs of each show, offering spectacular uniformity in frequency response and even correcting the sound directivity exclusively to the audience." The Indigo Music team also installed a line array system featuring a total of 22 EVENT-210A systems on the spectacular stage of the "Organ Hall," which were supplement by four EVENT-218A subwoofers to boost the low frequencies. The system was rounded out with EVENT-M210A stage monitors and two DAS, DSP-2040 digital signal processors. "The color customization of the line array meant we could reduce the visual impact of the systems on the stage. It's not always necessary, but in this case, where the visual design of the stage plays a main role, the result is superb."
