As one of Jakarta’s leading tourist destinations, the Museum of Indonesia’s Constitutional Court (MKRI) has installed an Audinate Dante audio network supported by Symetrix processing. The specification of the SymNet Edge open-architecture scalable DSP and related xIn 12 and xOut 12 expansion boxes was down to leading Indonesian audio supplier and consultant, Pt Gracia Auvindo.
‘The Museum needed first-class DSP and Dante audio networking support for 32 channels of audio running into and out of the system. There was also a requirement to allow for future system expansion. On both counts, SymNet Edge ticked the boxes,’ says Gracia Auvindo consultant, Hendra Halim.
The installation comprises a SymNet Edge DSP with a pair of four-channel analogue input cards and a pair of four-channel analogue output cards, each with two SymNet xIn 12 and xOut 12 expansion boxes. ‘The system provides audio processing for 32 zones, each of which has touch-screens fed from locally-installed PCs, as well as capability for override paging and announcements through an Audix ADX-18 microphone,’ Halim explains.
Control is via an ARC-2e wall-panel in the main equipment rack, and also though the Symetrix ARC-Web app on the museum staff’s smartphones. The exhibit sound is covered by a number of Ecler IC8 8-inch ceiling loudspeakers, reinforced by a Coda Audio K5 high-SPL system for the larger attractions. Another zone is set up for surround sound from coaxial D-Tube speakers and a PW112a self-powered subwoofer.
A systems integrator of more than 15 years’ experience, and a long-term Symetrix system distributor, PT Gracia Auvindo is unsurprised by the ‘complete satisfaction’ shown by MKRI in its new processing infrastructure. ‘We have always had complete confidence in the Symetrix product range, from the Jupiter fixed-architecture standalone DSP to the latest SymNet open-architecture systems with onboard Dante networking. No matter what the project, Symetrix provides something to perfectly complement the specific requirements,’ Halim says.
