The global health care group Fresenius has its headquarters in Bad Homburg v.d.H., where Forum EK2 is also located. The event hall, which measures 19 x 19 meters, was extensively remodeled in the fall of 2021; the revitalization was successfully completed in mid-October 2021.
The Forum is used on at least three out of five working days and is therefore not merely a prestigious location for special occasions, but is firmly integrated into everyday working life at Fresenius. ASC supplied, installed and integrated the extensive media technology systems. In order to ensure trouble-free use in the long term, ASC also took over the service and maintenance of the media technology system in EK2.
The eye-catcher is an LED surface measuring 9.76 x 2.74 meters (W x H). It uses 128 Upanel II 1.2 modules from Unilum. The substructure was custom-made based on ASC’s specifications and is covered with black acoustic fabric.
The AV/IT software three10 X, which combines the tasks of a media server with the functionalities of a media control system, is used for playout. In addition to the LED screen, there are also two 65″ screens mounted on the side of double columns, which can be folded out with an electric motor. The display equipment is completed by a trolley designed by ASC, on which two preview screens are mounted.
The AV-over-IP solution of choice in the Forum is Extron NAV. Various conference and meeting rooms on the Fresenius Campus are equipped with NAV-compatible products, enabling comprehensive networking.
Sound system
Two Meyer Sound CAL 64s and two USW-210Ps are used for sound reinforcement in the Forum. Various Shure products are available for microphones, and up to 30 wireless microphone units from Televic’s Confidea FLEX G4 Wireless series are used for conference applications. A Bosch DCN system is coupled to the Televic system.
