Located in Kutacan, in Indonesia’s Aceh Province, the recently inaugurated Taqwa Great Mosque is the largest in the area. Accommodating up to 4,000 worshippers inside and 2,000 outside, it has installed an Allen & Heath iDR-8 matrix mixer and Qu-16 digital rackmount mixer to ensure speech intelligibility to its large congregation.
The installation team –Kairos Multi Jaya and Multi Electronic Terrain – faced the challenge of providing clear audio coverage to a 2,700m2 area, with a building interior consisting of high ceilings and reflective surfaces, without affecting the design aesthetics. An Allen & Heath Qu-16 compact digital mixer was selected as the heart of the audio system, with an iDR-8 matrix processor installed to manage audio distribution and provide flexible zoning options.
‘The result is quite amazing,’ reports Karuna from the Kairos Multi Jaya engineering team. ‘The sound produced can be heard equally at all points by all worshipers inside the building. The Allen & Heath mixers provide the best clarity and ease of use possible.’
