The University wanted to update the atrium’s overall appearance and at the same time create an open space for presentation’s and events. This required an improved audio system that delivered intelligible sound, versatility; for the different activities and easy for the staff to use and change the configurations.
The building consisted of a glass exterior and plenty of glass in and around the atrium section. In the atrium there were a lot of hard surfaces and different levels of ceiling heights. The big challenge was the prevalence of reverberation of the sound from the previous sound system. Designers also need to take into account the noise levels through out the atrium.
System designers landed on using the SR-H3L line arrays to control and direct the sound dispersion. By strategically installing the line arrays in certain areas, the sound was focused to the main presentation space. Adding the subwoofers added the low frequency enhancement for the loudspeakers. The system came together with a head end of TOA’s A-9000 Digital Matrix Mixer/Amplifier and powered by the DA-250F.
A few weeks after completion of the installation of the audio system, the University reached out to the integrator and TOA to relay their excitement on the performance of the system, and pass along their gratitude for our strong execution on this project.
