A Runway Success

Austria's Magna Racino is worthy of a legend

 

11.09.2005

Ebreichsdorf is a town located roughly eighteen miles south of the Austrian capital of Vienna. An easy drive from neighboring cities in Germany, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic, the region is ideally situated for short getaways and long weekends, and attracts a wide cross-section of visitors and tourists who come for the area's culture, natural beauty, and recreation.

 

Ebreichsdorf's Magna Racino is the brainchild of the legendary rags-to-riches entrepreneur Frank Stronach, founder and chairman of Magna International, Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers of automotive parts. The Austrian-born Stronach has long been an enthusiastic fan of horses and horse racing, and his Magna Entertainment Corp. division is a leading owner and operator of horse racetracks in North America, boasting such thoroughbred tracks as Santa Anita Park, Golden Gate Fields, Thistledown, Portland Meadows, and Great Lakes Downs, to name but a few.

 

Magna Racino is clearly designed to exceed the provincial and reflect a world-class sensibility. The venue, located on over 660 acres of lush grounds, opened its doors in April of 2004 to rave reviews from the media and populace alike. Since then, the owners have continued to expand and upgrade the facilities. Far more than a typical racetrack, Magna Racino is evolving into a massive, multi-faceted meeting and entertainment venue, with something on offer for just about everyone.

 

The newest addition to Magna Racino is the Sports Bar, a veritable sports fans' paradise, ideally designed for watching and wagering on as many simultaneous events as one's budget and attention can handle. Audio for the Sports Bar is provided by a selection of AcousticDesign™ full range surface mount loudspeakers, including two AD-S282Hs, four AD-S82s, and two AD-S52s, powered by CX amplifiers, all from Costa Mesa, CA-based QSC Audio Products, Inc.

 

"The QSC speaker systems have been one of the most pleasant surprises," Wittenberg explains. "When we first installed them in the Sports Bar, we never expected such a big, full sound from such a small speaker system. And they have a great look which goes very well with the Sports Bar's upscale décor."

 

QSC Audio Products, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of power amplifiers, loudspeakers, signal processing, digital signal transport, and computer control systems for professional audio markets worldwide.
