Leading East Africa A/V provider Sound Creations has installed a new audio system at Oshwal Community Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. The set-up is based around an Allen & Heath Qu-32 digital mixing system supplied by regional distributor, PAXT.
Opened in 1984, the Oshwal Community Centre offers the local community a venue for religious and social gatherings, and can accommodate approximately 4,000 people. Needing an upgrade to its audio equipment, Sound Creations was called on to install the Qu-32 together with an AR2412 and AR84 remote I/O racks. The upgrade provides more outputs and easier set-up than the analogue mixinf desk it has replaced. The centre also invested in additional gear to enhance the quality of its audio, including Shure wireless mics and KRK monitor speakers.
As well as the I/O increase, the centre’s decision to install the Qu mixer was also influenced by its ability to operate with either an analogue or digital stagebox, the flexible control options and apps, and its ease of use.
Mr George, lead sound technician at the Oshwal Centre is pleased with the outcome: ‘The sound quality is very good, and now I have more and better mixing options with this new system,’ he reports.
