A recent sonic upgrade at the function room of the Community Centre in Assentoft, Denmark, which hosts a vareity of live events, is headed by a variety of Optimal Audio products that includes the Zone 4P four-zone audio controller with DSP, amplification and web app.
The system in place was more than 25 years old and site manager Steffen Larsen engaged installer Simon Voigt Laursen of AVDEO to supply the upgrade. The project’s aim was to deliver high-quality audio from an easy-to-operate zoned system.
“It is an absolute pleasure to work with this product,” says Voigt Laursen. “The Zone 4P DSP is the easiest I have ever installed! With this quality of technology and ease of setup, you’d also normally expect a much higher price point. It’s extremely intuitive to setup and configure, with the result that the whole configuration for the Community Centre was done within an hour.
“I like the fact that there are two Mic inputs on the back of the Zone 4P, with easy to configure basic EQ. It seems like everything is designed to make the installation/configuration process easy for the installer.”
Two Optimal Audio Cuboid 8 loudspeakers and a SmartAmp 30 amplifier are supplemented by five ADORN loudspeakers from sister company Martin Audio. The presets for both Cuboid and ADORN units are contained within the Optimal Audio WebApp, once again making for an easier installation.
“The 8-inch Cuboid 8 speakers are easy to install with the U brackets and suit the room really well, while the presets in the SmartAmp 30 make the configuration of the speaker very easy,” Voight Laursen concludes. “As well as being wonderfully easy to install and use, the system sounds amazing and the customer is very happy.”
