Initial Brief

The client came to us with a need for a multi-use solution. It needed to cover multiple audience shapes depending on different modes of use; including full space for events and small presentations in front of the video wall.  

Problems

  • High reverberation, low intelligibility space
  • Multi use areas

Solutions

Combining the audio power of the EDC SQ90, SS3, and SC60SL, we achieved extremely high STI (over 0.85) for a room with an RT60 of over 6 seconds.  

Outcome

The client was extremely happy with the results, commenting, ‘’I would not have believed the STI performance if proved in advance’’ and was amazed by the high STI results and evenness of coverage.

They can now achieve different modes with intimate, close sounding audio quality. And critically, what once sounded like sound in a large reverberant space is now identical to the experience of listening in a lounge room.
