RCF Audio Prepares Acinque Ice Arena for the 2026 Winter Olympics

The Costigliola company followed the redevelopment of the project. "The structural redevelopment of the ice rink began in 2021, starting from the restoration of the roof and laminated wood structures, including the extensions up to the complete renovation of the technology upgrades." says Dr. Alberto Costigliola, Commercial Manager of Costigliola. "For the audio systems, we relied on the expertise of RCF, which assisted Costigliola through Pietro Mandelli of the Engineering Support Group. From the initial design phase, through system programming to commissioning and delivery of the system, RCF is a tremendous partner." Costigliola is a construction company active for over 40 years in the construction industry,  with experience installing advanced technology, both in public and private sectors.

The RCF high powered INSTALLED SOUND system includes several zones. The ice arena with the relative 1110-seat grandstands and the two indoor swimming pools are served by RCF P4228 loudspeakers, which guarantee resistance to the unique environmental conditions of installation. 

On the second floor, a large gymnasium with two multi-purpose training rooms are equipped by COMPACT M08 two-way speakers with wooden cabinets. The DX 1616 digital matrix processor is the master unit of the system, which manages the routing and processing of all audio signals and distributes them to the RCF QPS 9600, HPS 2500, DMA 162, and DMA 82 power amplifiers.

1. Costigliola concludes, “We are very happy with the result and the arena is now ready to host high profile events. The inauguration day, for example, took place with only the systems inside the building, without any external integration, that provided clarity and definition of speech and music worthy of a concert."
