The new office HQ for Hebei Mobile Communications Co in the provincial capital of Shijiazhuang is equipped with an A/V facility provided by Sanecore. Central to its audio operation is an Allen & Heath iLive digital mixer.
With the addition of multiple digital base stations, the installation is able to meet all of the company’s requirements for different room combinations and audio synchronisation – and provide audio quality superior to a typical A/V matrix.
Four iDR-16 MixRacks have been installed, one for an inspection room, one for the emergency command centre and two for monitoring in the hall. Real-time audio communication between multiple rooms was established using Allen & Heath’s proprietary ACETM point-to-point audio network technology.
An iLive-R72 Control Surface and two iDR-16 mixers are installed for the PA system in the command centre, and two more iDR-16s are used in two adjacent meeting rooms. Connected via ACE, they manage a total of 64 inputs and 32 outputs, handling various sources, including gooseneck microphones, audio signal synchronised with video, and PC audio signals.
‘The digital mixers are connected in one network, and the operating through central control touchpanel is so easy with so many inputs and outputs,’ says Hebei Project Manager, Li Shuzhi. ‘Signals can be transferred, switched between each other and processed easily, and it is convenient to operate via the iLive-R72 surface.’
