[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”CONCEPT” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Abel%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The installation comprises a main left and right PA with six Kara and three SB18 subs per side flown in a cardioid pattern next to the Kara, with a centre fill of three Kara. To accommodate the enormous size of the venue, delays of four Kara and two SB18 subs per side were added.<\/p>\n

With its massive glass doors and shiny tile interior, Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham is a highly reflective and reverberant space and thus very acoustically challenging. Coupled with the sheer size of the hall, which can seat close to 10,000 faithful, it was clear that a sound system was required inside the venue to maximise intelligibility during talks, concerts, and devotional activities.<\/p>\n

HiTech\u2019s Senior Application Engineer, Kallol Nath added: \u201cThe venue is a highly reflective zone with a reverb time of 4.5 seconds. This was the biggest challenge, as we have to provide direct sound to the congregants who visit the auditorium.<\/p>\n

The expansive interior of the auditorium, which measures 60 x 40 metres, features a high ceiling that houses hundreds of LED lights. This presented an additional challenge, as there was a lack of rigging points, which needed to be created during the two-week installation period.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the management of Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham, the project is a milestone and the audio install was a prime consideration,\u201d added Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham\u2019s, Bharat Kumar. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want anyone to blame the acoustics of the hall for bad sound; rather, we wanted a company that could fix the acoustic environment with their system. We found out about L- Acoustics and thought they could provide the solution we needed.<\/p>\n

India based L-Acoustics distributor Hi Tech Audio combined forces with the L-Acoustics Application team and J Davis Prosound and Lighting to design and install a solution that addressed this highly challenging and large acoustic environment combined with a tight timeframe of just two weeks to complete installation.<\/p>\n

\u201cL-Acoustics systems are based on a total solutions approach including all enclosures, rigging, amplification, and DSP,\u201d said Santana Davis, owner of J Davis Prosound & Lighting. \u201cThis results in a highly predictive, standard system with control and monitoring that satisfies the performance requirements of the venue.\u201d<\/p>\n

L-Acoustics Application Engineer, Germain Simon, who provided the system design using L-Acoustics Soundvision modelling software, also travelled to Muddenahalli to assist with final testing and tuning of the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the pre-installation stage, experts from L-Acoustics were involved in this project,\u201d added Kallol. \u201cThey designed the entire system installation in Soundvision. This was helpful to me when I was performing the installation as I had a clear picture of the sound flow across the auditorium.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the project was not without its challenges, Santana said the experience, and the outcome, have been \u201cvery positive\u201d. A previously-installed LED video wall provides seated audience members a clear view of what is happening on stage and the new L-Acoustics Kara system now enables everyone to hear just as clearly. \u201cEverything sounds clearer, fuller, and the auditorium engineer is getting a better picture of the sound in the venue,\u201d remarked Santana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that nothing comes easy in our profession, but with L-Acoustics the end result is always marvelous,\u201d concluded Kallol. \u201cNow devotees can experience a truly tranquil sound in this sanctuary.\u201d<\/p>\n
