MALAYSIA: The Masjid Negara, the National Mosque of Malaysia, has installed a high quality sound system for sermons, courses, seminars and other activities. The Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia and Public Works Department (Acoustic Division) selected German manufacturer Bosch to design a PA solution to cover the entire area with an even sound transmission level during broadcasts to up to 15,000 worshippers.
Bosch and its Malaysian partner MU-Softmedia recommended replacing the current PA system with the Bosch Praesideo and the Vari-directional Array loudspeakers, billed as a high quality, flexible and reliable PA system with important features such as a high level of redundancy and interference-free audio.
‘This was a challenging project and the customer expected a better performance system even though there were no specific issues with their current system,’ said Mr Lee Chi Hou, senior sales and application engineer at Malaysia BU Communication.
The Masjid Negara in Kuala Lumpur was built in 1965 and is the symbol of Islam as the official religion in Malaysia. The mosque has been gazetted as a national heritage building and measures 13-acres with the main building covering an area of approximately 3-acres. It is seen as one of the most modern mosques in South-East Asia.
