Since 1965 however, they were using the Meistersaal for most of their productions, the former Sonopress Studio of Ariola-Eurodisk, which later became the legendary Hansa Studio 2 (The Big Hall By The Wall). Through the steady growing number of Hansa artists and the productions resulting there from, the Meisel brothers decided to found Hansa Tonstudio GmbH, in the beginning of the 1970’s, and built their own studio in order to be able to produce independently. So, Hansa Studio 1 opened in 1973 on Nestor Street in Berlin Halensee from which countless recordings of renowned national and international artists emerged from then on. In 1975 the Meisel brothers also took over the former Sonopress Studio on Köthener Street, turned it into Hansa Studio 2 and from then on continued to produce one hit after the other. At that time 2 studios were already working under the Hansa Studios name. In 1976, the Meisel Brothers purchased the house on Köthener Street, which had been severely damaged in the Second World War, and gradually developed it into a music production house. The mixing studio, known today as the Hansa Mixroom, was built on the 4th floor. Directly beside it – as a substitute for Studio 1 on Nestor Street, which was closed in the late 1970’s – the Meisel’s built Studio 1, which started up in 1980. In order to get acquainted with the newest mixer technology, a training studio was built on the 3rd floor especially for the sound engineer and assistants. At the start of the 1980’s, Hansa Studio 3 was built in a former cinema on the ground floor making a total of 5 studios. ... Hits from Mireille Mathieu, Drafi Deutscher, Juliane Werding, Marianne Rosenberg, Manuela, Christian Anders and many, many more were produced here like a factory. Not to mention many successful albums from Peter Maffay, Udo Jürgens or Roland Kaiser, who partly still produce here today! In the 1970’s, Hansa Studios became known worldwide through the artist David Bowie who lived and worked in Berlin at the time. In the studio beside the wall, Bowie wrote his hit “Heroes“. He recorded numerous albums here, also together with his friend and colleague Iggy Pop. “Low” (1977), “Heroes” (1977), “Baal” (1982). Last but not least, because of its good reputation, equipment, exceptional acoustics and the many successful national and international successes, Hansa Studios was considered one of the leading international recording studios. Depeche Mode “Construction Time Again” (1983), U2 “Achtung Baby” (1991), Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Marillion “Misplaced Childhood” (1984), Real Life “Send Me An Angel” (1982) and many other top acts produced their worldwide successes at Hansa Studios. Due to the changing situation in the music industry and the declining demand for large recording studios, the Meisel’s decided to dismantle Studio 2 and 3 in the beginning of the 1990’s. Thus, Hansa Studio 2 was again restored to its original state of being the Meistersaal. Offices for film production companies were built into the former Studio 3. The mixing studio and training studio were permanently rented and, from then on, were no longer part of the Hansa Studio. Only Hansa Studio 1 on the 4th floor and a newly set up midi studio continued on as the Hansa Studio. Today, Studio 1 is still the successfully active Hansa Studio, wherein acts like Supergrass “Diamond Hoo Ha” (2008), The Hives, Snow Patrol “A Hundred Million Suns” (2008), R.E.M. “Collapse Into Now” (2010) and many others record their songs and albums. Accessibility to the Meistersaal as a recording studio is still available. So, for example, the Swedish band Kent recorded their whole album there, R.E.M. recorded a live session with sound and images and Mark Knopfler gave a record release concert there. The Hansa building on Köthener Street is arguably the most creative music house in Berlin. The idea of a “Music House“created in the early 1970’s is more alive than ever. Numerous independent studios and production companies from all musical areas work together here under the same roof. From rock, hip-hop, pop and hits to film scores and dubbing – it’s all produced here." - https://hansastudios.de/en/about-2/history/

Konzerthaus Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪

 Influence of acoustics on emotional impact of music in Konzerthaus and Philharmonie Berlin, Conference: DAGA 2016, At: Aachen - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e. V., Winfried Lachenmayr (Müller-BBM BSO GmbH), Jukka Pätynen (Aalto University) - https://lnkd.in/d2y2rTGY

"The emotional impact of music on the listener is an important feature - possibly more important than "preference". How is this influenced by the acoustics of a concert hall? Which acoustic properties offer the more effectful, moving experience and which role do loudness and dynamic of the music play?


Recordings with the same real orchestra taken in two halls (rectangular and vineyard) from each two receivers (close and far) are compared regarding their subjective impact in a PC-listening test. At the same time, the participants gave adjectives for each pair to investigate why a certain stimulus was chosen over the other one. It can be seen that the rectangular hall and the closer seats are rated with higher impact.


Analysis of the vocabulary shows that loudness related attributes are driving the decisions (1/3 of answers). In a second step, the stimuli were adjusted to have the same mean loudness. Even though loudness related attributes then loose importance - as expected and visible in the vocabulary data-, the impact ranking stays the same. Spatial attributes, proximity and bass perception take over importance." - https://lnkd.in/dXXTRvyt





Konzerthaus Berlin Finds Clarity With Meyer Sound CAL Column Arrays,

Meyer Sound  Feb 6, 2015 - Live Design Magazine


"Ranked amongst the top five symphonic concert venues, Konzerthaus Berlin has recently installed the steerable Meyer Sound CAL™ column array loudspeakers in its Great Hall (German: Großer Saal).


Blending inconspicuously into the hall’s neoclassical architecture, the slender, elegant arrays are used for music reproduction as well as voice applications from concert narration and conductor commentary to emergency alarm systems.

...

The 1,418-capacity Konzerthaus Berlin was opened as a theatre in 1821 and rebuilt as a concert hall in 1977. The acoustics in the shoebox-shaped Great Hall have been ranked among the world’s five best for symphonic music by eminent acoustician Leo Beranek. " - https://lnkd.in/dxw7XfBg

ACOUSTICS and SOUND SYSTEM

(Checking out UN's acoustics and sound systems)





"VCA (Video Corporation of America) is a global technology integrator. VCA was selected to install a variety of AV products into the large remodeled meeting space of the United Nations.  This room is extremely vital to operations due to its deliberative, policymaking and representative nature. Heads of state routinely meet in this space, countless news outlets broadcast these meetings around the world.

...

Because of the historical nature of the room, the remodel was done to preserve the original look of the space. To the naked eye it appears almost identical to how it looked prior to the renovation. The layout of the room includes approximately 500 delegate microphone seats, and an additional 1500 listen-only seats. The project required the integrated systems to support the organization’s campus wide systems; and also provide feeds to major news outlets. This was accomplished via leveraging both broadcast and professional audio-video technology solutions to work as one.

...

The United Nations audio systems contain products from QSC Q-sys, Yamaha Corporation CL-series used for mixing, processing and video conferencing, TAIDEN HCS 8300-series for Congress Microphone and Simultaneous Interpretation, Renkus-Heinz, Inc. ICII-R steerable arrays and Bag End subwoofers for room sound re-enforcement. The PureLink PM-series routers provided transport and stereo audio feeds into QSC. QSC and Taiden are redundantly linked via analog and AES audio while QSC and Yamaha are digitally linked directly via a 64×64 Dante™ audio transport bridge. QSC Q-sys campus wide audio network provides 16-channel program audio directly into the centralized broadcast router and embedded into the HD-SDI stream." - https://lnkd.in/eRj5GJCE , Bag End Press





"In the second half of 2014, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of the eight conference rooms including the United General Assembly Hall in the second phase of the United Nations Headquarters Project was installed and put into use. So far, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of 18 conference halls (rooms) of the United Nations Headquarters project, including the United General Assembly Hall and the Security Council Conference Hall, has been installed and put into use.

...

The continuous, low-volume sound enables people to hear a clear direct sound in every position of the venue, and it is not easy to produce a howling sound. When using headphones to listen to the simultaneous interpretation, the original sound will not affect the simultaneous interpretation voice, and it will be difficult to hear.
