The
Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton,
New Jersey needed a rework of the existing
auditorium speech and playback sound systems
in Wolfensohn Hall, a +/- 250 seat room
with pristine architecture and distinctive
antique furnishings.
Clear Sound, Inc. was contracted to engineer
the design and provide the bill of materials,
installation and project management. While
maintaining sensitivity to the distinguished
environment, the new audio equipment needed
to fit in the existing 16 space equipment
rack, and the JBL playback loudspeakers
required replacement of the transducers.
A single Duran Audio Intellivox 2C was
chosen as the best available speech reinforcement
system with minimal architectural impact.
It was installed with a Yamaha analog
console in the control booth. Additional
new equipment includes a Marantz PMD570
flash card recorder and three Shure UR4D
wireless systems with six handheld and
six lavaliere microphones.
An Extron computer interface was installed
in the presentation lectern allowing easy
connection of presenter laptop computer
to the booth control systems for both
audio and video reproduction via a custom
designed and installed floor box system.
Existing amplifiers were reused for the
custom JBL playback system and all new
cone and compression drivers were installed. |
