The Petõfi Theater of Sopron, Hungary, installs an HK Audio system
Hungary - Only 60 km from Vienna, southwest of Lake Neusiedler, lies the Hungarian city of Sopron. Sopron (Ödenburg in German) is not only a university town but also the home of HK Audio's Hungarian distributor IFK.

Recently when the Petõfi Theater of Sopron was looking for a new sound system, they asked various vendors to conduct a system demo. Naturally IFK was among the bidders. IFK won with the HK Audio Cadis System they proposed.

The Petõfi Theater, with a rich tradition going back two centuries and its Vienna Secession style, is located in the middle of the Old City of Sopros and holds an audience of about 550. The programme ranges from classical and modern drama to comedy and musicals. The new system is made up of six HK Audio Cadis CAD 208 cabs as the centre cluster, two ConTour Series CT 112 12"/1.4" mid/high units and CT 118 Subs on both the left and the right.

Supplementing this main system are four IL 8.1 8"/1" cabinets from the HK Installation line as side-fills, and four ConTour Series CT 108 loudspeaker cabinets as low-profile monitors.

The system was placed into service in September, 2009. According to József Pál from IFK, all parties are thrilled with its performance. "The house engineers at Theater Sopron were very actively engaged in the installation, set-up and fine-tuning of the system. The theatre staff and management are likewise very satisfied with it. The rich, full sound and the high level of speech intelligibility have won everyone's heart."
