In 1994 the Hafjell Ski Resort near Lillehammer fell under the global media spotlight when Norway hosted the Winter Olympic Games. Two decades on and Hafjell is preparing to stage events as part of the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics and, more imminently, the FIS Alpine Junior World Championships - a hectic programme that has understandably prompted a review of the national slalom slope’s technological capabilities.
　　Financed by the Norwegian Government, the project leaders enlisted Drobak-based audio distributor and systems designer Norsk Lydteknikk AS to devise the revamped sound set-up. Company principal Bj?rn Fjeld confirms that forthcoming sports events and the need to accommodate future expansion were at the top of the priority list as he set about designing the new system.

　　It’s an exciting time for Norsk Lydteknikk AS, which added Symetrix to its burgeoning distribution portfolio a little under 12 months ago. “It’s early days, of course, but we are already seeing some great sales for the SymNet Radius line and the Jupiter app-based DSPs,” he reports. “We are looking forward to communicating the advantages of selecting Symetrix equipment to an even broader base of users in 2015.”
