Light and sound in an ice rink, it's something different...

GROUP-PDA has been the technical supplier for the ICEMADNESS event for several years, which is why they can always be found in the ice rink of Sport Vlaanderen Hasselt on the first Friday of a new year. An ice rink has a constant temperature and high humidity, very important when it comes to the choice of materials, the project manager tells us.


“Over the years, GROUP-PDA has invested not only in the materials, but also in the right crew to successfully complete such a production,” he adds. An ice rink is not built to accommodate large events and the roof load is usually limited. To achieve maximum results with a minimum number of sound boxes, array processing is used, reflections are minimized and the subs that are arranged in an arc provide the necessary beats, only where necessary.


"To accentuate an ice surface of 30x60 with light, spotlights with a high output are used. Taking into account the roof load and available power supplies, we therefore also have to reduce the numbers, without having to compromise on the visuals.

Visualization software helps us with this," says the light designer, "so the customer immediately sees what he can expect."


"IceMadness is a realization with a limited budget and a maximum of experience, carried out by a flexible crew and with the best materials." ends the project manager.
