For stage monitoring, 10 Martin Audio LE1200S floor wedges have also been supplied.
In conference mode, 12 clusters of 16 OmniLine enclosures now provide the playback. The design consists of two OmniLine columns at each end of the three conference sections so that the point of focus can change based on the physical location of the presentation.
This approach ensures that intelligible speech and high quality music playback are delivered as unobtrusively as possible.
OmniLine was set up using the system’s dedicated optimization software. Child first worked out the calculations in the OmniLine software before exporting an XGLC file for later use in the EASE program.
“It was then just a case of inserting each of the 16 hang OmniLine GLLs into their correct locations in the EASE model and importing the XGLC file which automatically applied the correct inter-cabinet angles and EQ, as determined by the OmniLine software.” he says.
The system is powered by Martin Audio amplification, with the WS218X subwoofers driven by a pair of MA18Ks, the main FOH system and W8LC/LCD delays are run from a total of 18 MA5.2Ks, and the OmniLine system is assigned to nine MA6.8Qs.
System control is via four mix racks housing Symetrix CobraNet-enabled SymNet Express DSP (configured 12-in/4-out)..
The DSP is set it up so that each room can be used in its single configuration — and as further rooms were added, the installer created a separate output on the console to provide full functionality over all four zones. “The system needed to be really flexible because it would be used for different events,” he adds.
Any input can be routed to any zone and the zone assigned to the main system. It will also automatically send the delay taps to the time-aligned OmniLine arrays when the system is used in presentation mode. The OmniLine arrays also help bring out the HF of the installed W8LC system, and boost the intelligibility, given the length and shape of the room.
