Mechanically/Physically the standard touring grade Baltic birch cabinet has been upgraded to be weather-proof. For instance, the cabinet was fully coated outside and inside with polyurea while front grill was specific for outdoor applications and coated by weatherproofing foam and filters; stainless-steel screws were used and transducers were treated with a lightweight anti-hygroscopic resin; amplifier and DSP boards were protected against humidity and all the connections have been protected with dedicated accessories.

The grill comes with a double painting to strengthen the durability features a foam layer and a water resistent clothbacking for extra protection against the rain.
A special heavy duty polyurea paint has been used to create a very thick full coating of the cabinet making it highly resistant to scratches and bumps. Polyurea lasts longer than paint and epoxy and maintenance services and costs are therefore reduced. Polyurea has a high tolerance for substrate and environmental humidity and temperature.
An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests. The IP is composed by two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the second against liquids. The higher the number, the better the protection. Our connectors have an IP rate of 67, that means: totally protected against dust and against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m.
All screws used on the WPTT+ boxes are Inox, a metal that is strong, durable and often used for applications where you need a strong protection against rust and different weather conditions. The surface of the mechanics has a protective film useful against shifting weather conditions and more resistant against unwanted scratching.
The WP TT+ line is a multi-use loudspeakers range specifically outfitted to serve portable and permanent applications. These models are especially designed to withstand exposure to weather without damage or loss of function of the speakers.

The Signal Iduna Park stadium is considered one of the biggest and most comfortable stadiums in Europe with an international capacity of 65000 people (officially seats only) that rise to over 80000 for league matches (seating and standing).The last architectural renovation was in 2003 that brought the stadium to the actual look.Nowadays, considering the increasing standards for the entertainment and for the emergency announcements required during the events, the ownership decided to upgrade the existing sound reinforcement system for the North, South, East and West stands. The existing system was build up during the years, by adding speakers, following the expansion of the building.
The aim of this remake was to reach the “state of the art” in terms of integrated PA-VA, by ensuring not only intelligible voice-alarm announcements but also high quality entertainment music programs, including emotional audio effects able to transform a soccer match in a show experience.
Beside to the acoustical requirements, that were the driving force for this project, there have been a lot of technical aspects as well to be taken into consideration, like the integration with the Fire Alarm System and the complete monitoring of the speakers and amplifiers regarding the EN and DIN regulations.
All the activities described in this document have been carried-out by RCF headquarters and RCF Germany subsidiary engineers, always in synergy with the contractor fulfil engineering and consultant Michael Creydt, during a period of 8 months.
TTL33A-MKII has been adopted as capable to fulfil all the requirements from the acoustical point of view and it was accepted as possible solution, but some customization had to be done in order to allow a safe rigging and hanging, by also considering the unusual array shape. Furthermore to ensure durability in a permanent outdoor installation a special weather-proof version was planned, to withstand all seasons under the roof.
The integration of the 14 arrays with the voice alarm system required to report the general array fault-monitoring to the VA system and to monitor on each array module the presence of a tone signal generated by the VA system itself so to verify the whole critical audio path from the VA management system to the speakers. Then, for increased system reliability the 14 modules of each array have been split in two interleaved connection lines so to get a connection diversity approach..
The detailed view of the array modules status down to each single electronic and electro-acoustic device thanks to an exclusive integrated total monitoring and control system in excess of the EN60849 requirements is possible through the RD-NET synoptic interface, supported by an industrial PC. In case of an RD-NET fault the system keep running according to the last configuration setting, thanks to the fail-safe approach.
Mechanically/Physically the standard touring grade Baltic birch cabinet has been upgraded to be weather-proof. For instance, the cabinet was fully coated outside and inside with polyurea while front grill was specific for outdoor applications and coated by weatherproofing foam and filters; stainless-steel screws were used and transducers were treated with a lightweight anti-hygroscopic resin; amplifier and DSP boards were protected against humidity and all the connections have been protected with dedicated accessories.
All the mechanics have been re-designed in order to hang the 14 modules to a special-made steel backbone agreed with the contractor which fits under the roof main beam. The target was to get an overall safety coefficient of the assembly far above the standards.

”The new RCF speaker system at the Parken Stadium provides a perfect solution, and we have already received positive feedback from many people who say how impressed they are with the ‘new’ sound,” says Lars Bo Baadsgaard of Nordic Sales delivering and installing the project. “This is due to the close collaboration with RCF and their project team. With their knowledge of stadium installations, we knew we could rely on their guidance when it came to designing the optimum speaker solution for the Parken Stadium.”To cover the site, it was specified 42 RCF Acustica H1315 WP, along with 18 RCF P4228 and 12 RCF H6045 fibreglass long-throw horns.Each cluster contains three of the H1315 WP, a three-way full range loudspeaker system that incorporates a 15” LF transducer, a 10” cone MF transducer and a 1.4” exit titanium compression driver.
In addition, the RCF P4228 speakers have been installed to cover selected areas of the tribunes. This weatherproof, full range, wide-dispersion, two-way loudspeaker system offers substantial power and efficiency for a variety of professional indoor or outdoor applications. The HF section is a constant directivity CMD horn loaded with a 1.4” RCF Precision Neodymium compression driver with a 2.5” diaphragm assembly for smooth, wide dispersion. The low-frequency transducer is a double 8” woofer with a 2.5” voice coil.
Finally , the RCF H6045 fibreglass horns are equally designed to withstand all weathers and offer high sound reproduction quality and sound pressure levels. These horns are used as a separate evacuation set-up, which can be automatically activated if special alert messages are required, or as a safety back up for the bigger H1315 WP system
Besides being the home base for FC Copenhagen and the national soccer team, Parken Stadium is also used for hosting big events and concerts etc. In fact the new audio system has already proved its worth at several such events.
