Sound Solution connects up Amway Plaza Ganseo
Published: ASIA

KOREA: A/V distributor and installer Sound Solution was recently enlisted to provide ‘reliable and robust’ audio processing and distribution at the Amway Plaza Ganseo in Seoul. The newly opened, multi-use site offers guests shopping, heath and beauty-care, lectures, seminars and conferences. Sound solution selected DSP from Symetrix to provide the necessary audio distribution between multiple seminar and conference rooms.
‘The principal requirement for this project was to create an optimal acoustical environment by using high quality digital audio processing, and it was this need that led us to consider the use of DSPs from Symetrix – a brand that we have used successfully on many previous occasions for a wide variety of installation types,’ offered Sound Solution’s Lisa Lee.
In the larger seminar room, Sound Solution deployed a single Jupiter 8 app-based turnkey DSP, while a smaller Jupiter 4 model was deployed in each of the small and medium-sized educational rooms. Across the three areas, the Symetrix DSPs handle all input mixing, graphic EQ and speaker management responsibilities. Fixed-configuration DSPs were deemed suitable for the application, along with basic configuration of the system inputs and outputs. Additional equipment installed at the complex by Sound Solution included Isomax headsets from Countryman, DN200 DIs from Klark Teknik, M32 and Venice U16 mixers from Midas, and Ayra5 active loudspeakers from RCF.
‘We have received very good feedback about the installation since the work was completed,’ recalled Ms Lee. ‘There is also a feeling of great satisfaction among the engineers working on the site because the Symetrix DSPs were so quick to program — our technicians needed only to visit the Symetrix website and download the best configuration or "app" for the venue, then load its pre-programmed settings onto the processor.’
