RCF Audio Prepares Acinque Ice Arena for the 2026 Winter Olympics

The new structure at the Varese ice rink is preparing for the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics with new technological systems and the latest generation RCF audio system. The Varese ice rink, expanded and renamed Acinque Ice Arena, includes sports facilities for ice, swimming, fitness, and padel. The recent redevelopment at the structure has been completed with the best technology available, including new lighting services designed for light shows, a suspended LED cube, and RCF audio systems for both high-power diffusion and an EVAC EN54 system. On the second floor, a large gymnasium with two multi-purpose training rooms are equipped by COMPACT M08 two- way speakers with wooden cabinets.

The DX 1616 digital matrix processor is the master unit of the system, which manages the routing and processing of all audio signals and distributes them to the RCF QPS 9600, HPS 2500, DMA 162, and DMA 82 power amplifiers. In the ice arena, a dedicated control room with one F 12XR mixer and two TX 4016 wireless microphones were installed. The DXT 3000 Interlink EVAC system guarantees emergency sound diffusion in all areas of the building. Different types of loudspeakers were installed, including HD 21EN horn loudspeakers, DU 50EN universal loudspeakers, and PL 68EN recessed ceiling lights, in accordance with the environmental and architectural constraints.
