EV takes pole position at KEA Prabhath Rangamandira

INDIA: Located in the heart of West Banglaore, the KEA Prabhath Rangamandira auditorium has provided Prabhath Enterprises with an entirely new challenge. The company is well known in the region when it comes to designing and building state-of-the-art auditoriums, however, in efforts to expand its presence, it recently embarked on a new project – taking over an existing auditorium and completely refurbishing it with a new sound system. To that end, the client turned to Electro-Voice and its parent company Bosch, having worked with the Bosch team on a number of previous projects.
Prior to the new EV installation, the venue’s low ceilings posed a problem for the sound system, reportedly resulting in reduced output coverage from each loudspeaker and requiring more boxes to achieve close-to-uniform coverage. To address this, horizontally-aligned, vertically-arrayed pairs of 12-inch EVF models now serve as main cabinets, flown at stage left and right, with two EVF-2151D dual 15-inch subwoofers to handle the low frequencies. ELX series powered stage monitors, Q series amplifiers, DC-One processing and N/D series microphones complete the set up.
The Bosch team also worked closely with the sound system installer, M/S Maastek, on an EASE model to determine the exact placement for the two main EVF speaker arrays. The correct positioning of each arrayed pair on either side of the room has reportedly resolved the issue of inadequate sound coverage, resulting in ‘more even coverage and increased intelligibility’.
