Solution Overview
Requirement | Notes |
---|---|
Speech reinforcement & processing | Each microphone connected to a Prism 12×12 will be routed through a high pass filter, EQ and feedback fighter. Each input can be routed to any output via a matrix mixer. |
Multimedia Input | CD and DVD players are connected to the line inputs of a Prism 12×12. Audio is then processed via an AGC (Auto Gain Control) module to ensure multimedia signal levels are consistent regardless of program material. |
Prescheduled events | Input and output routing options for prescheduled events are stored in the Composer site file as presets. Composer’s event scheduler recalls these presets at the programmed date and time. The presets include: morning service, evening mass, prayer and choir rehearsal. |
Automixing with priority | Each group of inputs are routed to gain-sharing automixers. Each automixer has individual channel faders and a master. Each individual channel can be set to either manual or auto mix mode. Channels also have priority level adjustments. Input groups include: service microphones (ambo, altar, lectern and wireless), multimedia (CD and DVD) and choir (director, solo, choir, piano, guitar, bass and drums). The automixer level and function are all adjustable via SymVue remote control. |
Loudspeaker management | Each Prism 12×12 is programmed using Composer to include speaker manager and limiter modules for every output. |
Wall mount volume control | (1) ARC-K1e will be installed in the balcony to provide volume control of balcony. (2) ARC-K1e’s will be installed in the foyer to provide volume control of foyer and exterior. |
