The Project

The University invited Roche Audio Visual to propose a solution for a dedicated audio system capable of dealing with the demanding acoustics of the space. We quickly identified Renkus-Heinz and BiAmp as the best audio brands able to meet those challenges. Specialist distributor Polar Audio partnered with Roche to work on a system capable of dealing with the various event layouts the University required within the quadrangle.

The following Summer provided an ideal opportunity to implement the successful proposal and Roche Audio Visual were given the go ahead to install the system during the University summer break. A team of Roche’s own engineers installed dedicated network links throughout the College building to enable Cobranet audio communication between a system rack and the speaker stacks.

Specialist DSP configuration was carried out by Polar audio programmers to provide the required equalisation and audio dispersion. The Renkus-Heinz digitally steerable ICL-R speakers proved to be the ideal solution to the difficult acoustic nature of the space. The speakers allow beams of audio to be directed to specific audience areas and away from any reflective surfaces to provide a clear audible sound.

The Future

The University plans to use the system on dedicated event days throughout the academic year. The system has been designed to pack away into flight cases when not in use and a simple procedure has been created to allow the University technicians a trouble free quick system setup. The quadrangle space was described during the installation as one of the most demanding environments in which to set up a public address and presentation audio system. The University now has a flexible solution providing clear audio for any events they wish to host within the spectacular quadrangle.
