Project description
A self-powered AUDIOFOCUS line array and stage monitoring system has been installed in the new 2,500 seat Veronica Auditorium at Patna Women’s College in Bihar, India.
Punjab-based Soundxperts won the contract to supply a complete turnkey solution for the auditorium, including audio, video, lighting, control, acoustics, seating, and flooring. Soundxperts worked closely with distributor, Sun Infonet, which was able to supply leading brands such as Audiofocus, Shure, Allen & Heath, and Quest for the crucial audio component of this prestigious project.
More than 350 performers
The Veronica Auditorium’s vast stage accommodates more than 350 performers and can be used for the full spectrum of live band performances, theatre shows, cultural events, video conferencing and cinema screenings. For the main PA system, Soundxperts installed eight AUDIOFOCUS ARES 8A line array elements and three B 18A LF extensions on each side of the stage, plus a further cluster of four ARES 8A cabinets as centre fills. With the potential for large numbers of artists onstage, eight AUDIOFOCUS CM 15A low profile monitor speakers were provided, together with four MTSub 218a twin 18” subwoofers.
100% adaptable and integrated
The main AUDIOFOCUS PA can be used in conjunction with Quest HPI series fill speakers to deliver full 7.1 Dolby cinema sound for screenings. As part of the project, Soundxperts installed India’s largest Samsung P4.0 active LED screen in the auditorium.
A pair of Allen & Heath Avantis consoles was supplied for both FoH and monitor mixing duties. The PA system is controlled by an Allen & Heath AHM-32 matrix processor, supported by DX168 and DX012 I/O expanders. Shure microphones have been deployed throughout the venue, networked through the Shure Wireless Workbench application.
“AUDIOFOCUS has always focused on transparent tonality that needs minimal equalisation. AUDIOFOCUS being the main PA system gives the user ease of operation. As all cabinets are equipped with internal Wi-Fi, the user can check and alter any parameter of any cabinet whenever needed. This brings a lot of flexibility to the entire system.”
“Today’s auditoriums go above and beyond to provide high-impact entertainment, from video, to music, to live performances, delivering an awe-inspiring experience. Our hi-end range of audio products delivers full-fidelity, full-bandwidth sound, from the deepest lows to crystal-clear highs, over a range of programming, from announcements to music.”
