With the aim of freeing another section of the building from components contaminated with asbestos, the existing ceiling cladding was dismantled and the contaminated material removed. At the same time, an acoustic system was installed that makes it possible to improve speech intelligibility.
In accordance with the requirements of a heavily frequented room, the challenge lay in reducing the reverberation times. To achieve this, a two-layer system (BASWA Phon Classic Top) was used, which corresponds to sound absorption class C (up to αw 0.75). The seamless system consists of an acoustic panel as a carrier panel and an acoustic plaster made of fine marble sand.
The BASWA acoustic system works according to the principle of an absorber: A porous sound absorber system is placed in front of the hard reflection wall, the so-called "reflection absorber". The sound waves penetrate the porous material, lose some of their energy through friction, then hit the hard wall surface and are reflected. On the reflection path, the sound waves pass through the absorber again, which in turn absorbs part of the sound energy."
"ASC installs adunas system in the Hamburg State Opera,
mothergrid - October 14, 2020 (Goole Translation)
The Hamburg State Opera, also known as the "Opera for the City", was founded in 1678 as the first privately run opera house in Germany by art-loving Hamburg citizens. In the course of renovation work, those responsible for the house decided to bring the secondary console control up to the latest state of the art. Amptown System Company GmbH installed the company's own adunas system for controlling the work light within a very short time.

Light at the push of a button
The adunas system in the Hamburg State Opera controls all work lights such as skylights on the stage, on the bridge or the backstage as well as additional lighting on ramps, stairs or in the roller floor. The hall light on the ceiling, walls and in the orchestra is also controlled from the secondary console, as are the blue lights and additional circuits. All tasks of the console are operated independently of each other. Control commands are triggered via touch panel PCs with a standardized but freely programmable user interface and sent to the switching actuators or via DMX to the dimmers of the scenic stage lighting." - https://lnkd.in/eDddnP-V
