The first ever use of a line array at a religious site in Iran, the Hazrat Masoomeh has installed a dBTechnologies DVA loudspeaker system.
Completed in just 12 hours by local dBTechnologies distributor Kish Pishgaman, the system of six DVA T12 and ten DVA T4 elements in two arrays distributes sound evenly around the whole prayer space.
‘They were so easy to install, almost clip on, plug and play,’ says installation team chief, Meysam Khorasani, of the DVA speakers. ‘All units were pre-programmed on the floor with selector switches on the back before erecting the systems 18m high. This helps a lot for handy commissioning.’
Also overseeing proceedings was the project’s chief sound engineer, Ing. Alireza Haddadi, who had been convinced by the brand early on: ‘At the tender we were really impressed with the competitive pricing, which together with the quality of the DVA system and the high level of before and after sales service offered by Kish Pishgaman made dBTechnologies the right choice for this project.
‘It was the DVA T12 and T4 that offered the best frequency resolution and speech clarity at this price point. This, combined with outstanding power rating and a three-way amp design is particularly important to us as we are using them mainly for vocal applications covering a large listening area.’
‘The low weight of the line array models was a crucial factor when it came down to the choice of speaker, as there are stiff safety regulations to adhere to,’ adds Khorasani, who was also mindful of the aesthetic impact that the system would have on the old building. ‘The wide dispersion of the two line array modules together meant they covered a vast area, hence less investment in terms of both speaker quantity, installation time and expense. And having fewer boxes is less visually intrusive.’
‘I am impressed with the know-how and continuous passion exhibited by Kish Pishgaman,’ says dBTechnologies Business Development Manager, Giovanni Barbieri. ‘Since this company has taken over the distribution in Iran, it has strengthened the dBTechnologies brand image to the point that it is now valuable and recognised in the market. Their connections in the installation field, together with our expanding product portfolio assure us of a brilliant future’
The Commercial Director at Kish Pishgaman is also confident that the newly installed system will lead to further opportunities: ‘Qom city also houses a number of other magnificent mosques, religious gathering places and shrines, which I have no doubt will follow this installation once they have had the chance to hear the dBTechnologies system first hand.
