Genelecdelivers a RAW experience behind bars in former prison-turned-hotel.<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If you\u2019ve ever had a hankering to find yourself behind bars without actually having to commit a crime, then now\u2019s your chance: the notorious Kakola prison in the medieval city of Turku on Finland\u2019s southwestern coast has been converted into an upmarket boutique hotel complete with sophisticated conference, banqueting and restaurant facilities, and a Genelec sound system. Whilst the food and bedding are much improved upon its former prison days, much of the original architecture has been preserved, and there is no shortage of chains and handcuffs dotted around to remind guests of where they really are…<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Rooms aside, Hotel Kakola<\/strong> also offers extensive conference and banqueting facilities in a unique setting. The company turned to Genelec<\/strong><\/a> partner and specialist AV integrator, Hifistudio Esitystekniikkato<\/a> design and install a comprehensive sound system across all of the public areas of the hotel.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u201cThe client wanted a high quality audio system capable of handling low level, high quality background music for the restaurant areas as well as crystal clear vocal reinforcement for conferencing purposes. The system also had to be capable of handling \u2018easy\u2019 live music when required,\u201d explains Antti Vuorilahti<\/strong>, co-owner of Hifistudio. \u201cIt was also important for them to use domestic suppliers where possible in an effort to support the economy, reduce their carbon footprint and work against climate change, so the decision to use Genelec was a very easy one.\u201d<\/div>\n
Vuorilahti specified 24 compact Genelec 4020 <\/strong>and two powerful 4040loudspeakers in RAW aluminium finish<\/strong> across three separate zones: the reception area; restaurant Ruben, located in the former prison canteen; and a versatile space known as the Pavilion which can be rented separately or combined with other restaurant facilities for larger events. It can also be used as a workspace and even divided into smaller units with the help of light wall structures.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u201cThe RAW finish is ideal for Kakola,\u201d emphasises Vuorilahti. \u201cThe industrial look fits perfectly into the \u2018prison\u2019 ambience and from a sustainability point of view, it ticks all the boxes as it requires no painting and less finishing material. Like most Genelec loudspeakers, the enclosure is made from recycled aluminium, and of course the sound quality is exceptional.\u201d Another important point was the choice of active loudspeakers which reduces cabling and removes the need for external amplifier racks, making installation faster, easier and more discreet.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Symetrix Prism8x8 digital signal processors provide effortless control over a Dantenetwork for each of the zones. \u201cSymetrix<\/a> supplies high quality products that marry well with a Genelec solution,\u201d says Vuorilahti. \u201cThey are easy to configure and \u2013something that was high on the hotel team\u2019s agenda \u2013very easy to use. Symetrix touch panelsin each zone allow hotel staff to select and control the sound sources in every area and even mix them if necessary. It\u2019s all very neat, tidy and straightforward and delivers excellent results.\u201d<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Kakolanruusu, a restaurant that is also housed in the former prison building but under separate ownership from the hotel, has likewise been supplied with a Genelec 4000 Series<\/strong> audio solution, also designed and installed by Hifistudio. Vuorilahti selected 14 mid-sized Genelec 4030loudspeakers<\/strong> in white to deliver ambient background music with the ability to adapt to larger events when required. \u201cKakolanruusu caters for corporate groups as well as for private diners,\u201d explains Vuorilahti. \u201cTheir spaces are fully equipped with screens and video projectors, so it was crucial that they had a high quality PA system tomatch. Genelec was an obvious choice for all the same reasons of reliability, sustainability and Finnish heritage. Like Hotel Kakola, we\u2019ve provided a Symetrix Prism DSP (12×12) and touchscreen that offers the same easy-to-configure, easy-to-operate control for an efficient system that looks as good as it sounds.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\u201cFrom an integrator\u2019s point of view, we have complete faith in Genelec as a company as well as in their products,\u201d he continues. \u201cTheir service is excellent at every level, both pre-and post-sales, technical or whatever it is you need \u2013there is always someone ready to help \u2013and of course the products themselves are excellent. It\u2019s rare that we have a problem with a Genelec installation, but if we do, it\u2019s never a problem for long. Both of these projects \u2013Hotel Kakola and Kakolanruusu<\/strong> \u2013have been thoroughly enjoyable, even if we were faced with certain time constraints. We\u2019re proud to have assisted with the transformation of a former prison into what it is today, and preserved a bit of Finnish history using Finnish products.\u201d<\/div>\n
