EAW AX Series and MK Series loudspeakers are the key components in a new fully distributed sound system serving the cavernous Olympic Oval in Calgary, Alberta. The interesting venue was constructed to host speed skating events for the 1988 Winter Olympics and is now the home of the Oval
X-Treme ice hockey team of the National Women's Hockey League. Thanks to two propane zamboni ice cleaners, the high altitude and advanced climate control, the oval is known as "the fastest ice in the world".

The new distributed sound system serving the venue was put together by the Calgary offices of Allstar Show Industries, with the AX and MK Series loudspeakers primarily flown from truss all the way around the venue and meticulously positioned to blanket audience areas with intelligible full-range sound reinforcement. Assistance on the project was supplied by SF Marketing, EAW's distributor serving Canada, and Joe Fustolo of the EAW ASG (Application Support Group) team provided support with final system tuning utlizing EAW Smaart. More on this interesting new project soon.
