Bose® LT Graduates at Loughborough University
Bose and Mood Media worked to ensure the audio-visual technology in the Sir David Wallace Sports Hall was superb in terms of quality and sound delivery.
The AV team at Loughborough University historically hired a sound system for the occasions they needed to deliver speeches or make announcements in the Sports Hall. This year the decision was made to install a permanent system that would perform on Graduation Day, but was dual purpose and could also become the audio system for general sports hall activities and events throughout the year.
In-store media provider and Bose Pro Partner, Mood Media, was brought in to assist with specifying and installing a system that would be flexible, reliable and would deliver the WOW! factor on Graduation Day.
Following a full day of audio measurements and reverberation tests in the sports hall, Bose engineers used Bose Modeler software to create an audio design using the most appropriate loudspeakers for the project. It required products that would perform equally well when the hall was carpeted and full of people on Graduation Day, as on days when hard surfaces were exposed during sporting events. Bose Panaray® LT 9403 full range long throw loudspeakers were recommended for their speech clarity, coverage and full range audio response for music. The Modeler software enabled the audio designers to dramatically reduce the reverberation issues in such a large space.
Combined with a Bose ControlSpace® ESP-88 audio management system, the result is a flexible, easy to control high performance solution. For Graduation Day and other audience events, all six LT loudspeakers are in use, whilst for sporting events, the AV team can select a combination of speakers from left, centre and right sections.
All six loudspeakers are flown from the main roof structural girdars, offering the university significant cost savings when compared with a multi-speaker option. The ESP-88 system electronics allow for future expansion to accommodate additional audio zones if required.
