BERLIN — IT Audio, founded last fall by Til Schwartz and Ivo König, recently installed a Meyer Sound system in the O2 Blueroom, a VIP reception room in Berlin’s O2 World arena. Designed by architects Schmidhuber+Partner, the O2 Blueroom primarily serves O2 World’s main sponsor, Telefónica O2 Germany, which is the German subsidiary of European telecommunications company Telefónica Europe.
With more than 40 years combined industry experience, the IT Audio co-founders have been involved with a long list of productions and installations. Now a dealer for Meyer Sound products, IT Audio’s first projects were the O2 Blueroom and O2 World’s two entertainment suites.
O2 Blueroom’s Meyer Sound system includes three USW-1P subwoofers, two UPJunior™ VariO™ loudspeakers, two UPM loudspeakers and four MM-4 miniature loudspeakers. “The Meyer Sound toolbox allows us to realize our plans more easily,” said König, “and delivers the outstanding experience that we and our clients demand.”
König has been a freelance sound designer since 1989 and is a certified operator of Meyer Sound’s SIM® audio analyzer. He has played a key role for large projects using Meyer Sound equipment, such as the closing ceremony of the 2006 FIFA World Cup football championships in Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonics’s concert at Berlin Arena under Sir Simon Rattle, as well as the installation in Munich’s Gasteig.
Til Schwartz is similarly experienced with SIM, and has managed several large productions, including the Meyer Sound installation in the Berlin Philharmonie. “We have worked very successfully with Meyer Sound products for many years,” said Schwartz. “And when we started our own business, continuing our close relationship with Meyer Sound was vital to our plan.”
