A popular indoor children’s theme park in China’s Heilongjiang Province, Songsong Town offers a host of attractions alongside relaxation areas and educational spaces, and also provides catering and entertainment. Needing an advanced audio processing system to serve entertainment and announcement, the park turned to integration specialist EZPro International.

A long-time Symetrix DSP user, EZPro quickly identified the highly scalable SymNet range to handle audio processing across two expansive floors. Using the SymNet devices’ ability to support Audinate Dante media networking, the system covers 11 sound reinforcement zones – it supports performances on two compact stages; background music in multiple zones; and switching between background music, lighting show music and paging in certain areas.

Duplicate specifications of one SymNet Edge and one SymNet xOut 12-output expander were installed on the third and fourth floors, with the SymNet Edge devices each supplemented by one SymNet 4 Channel Analogue Input Card and two SymNet 4 Channel Analogue Output Cards. The SymNet expanders were selected to convert the Dante signals to analogue audio and distribute them to different zones within the theme park.

Use of multiple control options has long been regarded as a primary advantage of the Symetrix SymNet product family. In this case, EZPro chose to use the UDP network protocol to accept control from the A/V system – handling paging, background music playback and assorted switching duties across various areas.

With GUI control devised by EZPro using Symetrix’ free SymVue software paving the way for system tuning and management by the venue personnel, the installation is robust and user-friendly DSP. ‘They gave us the functionality needed to run the entire venue of Songsong Town, and at the same time produce quality audio output. The system is not only reliable but also easy to use,’ says a company representative.
