Marking its 60th anniversary with the construction of a memorial building, Inha University in Incheon, South Korea, has added 16 floors of auditoria, lecture rooms, laboratories and offices in an investment approaching US$38m.
Renowned for its engineering programmes, the university has chosen Allen & Heath’s GLD-112 digital mixing system with an AR2412 remote I/O rack for the main ground floor auditorium, which will host various conferences, presentations and live performances.
‘The University does not have a dedicated sound engineer for the auditorium, so we needed to install a console that was simple to configure and easy to use for different users managing a variety of events. GLD was selected because of its simple preset configuration and scene selection menu,’ says Gyeongeon Kim from systems integration company, Daeyoung Media Technology, who managed the A/V installation at Inha.
A total of 12 iDR-8 matrix mixers with 12 PL-6 remote controllers are installed to manage audio distribution in the building’s ten lecture theatres and two of the laboratory rooms. Every lecture room is fitted with hi-tech equipment, including a smart podium to enable touchpen notes to be displayed on a wall-mounted screen, and multimedia materials to be used effectively through the podium’s built-in PC. Other sound requirements comprise PC stereo audio, a CD player, and wired/wireless microphones. iDR systems were selected to control all the audio signals in the room.
‘Allen & Heath’s iDR product range allows the user to easily manage an integrated audio mixing system,’ Gyeongeon Kim explains. The iDR-8 rack can be installed out of sight, while the PL-6 fader panel provides easy access to key controls.’
