QSC provides echo-free conferencing at Indian Statistical Institute
Published: ASIA
INDIA: A QSC Q Sys audio management system based around a Core 250i integrated processor was recently installed at the Tezpur centre of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Assam as part of a conference room refurbishment designed to provide improved audio input to an existing video conferencing system.
The new system, supplied by Pro Visual Audio and installed by the Assam-based QSC systems integration partner Cineworth Sales and Services, now offers ISI staff clear, echo-free conferencing facilities due to the inclusion of AEC.
‘They wanted an open system that could be expanded in the future, and so Cineworth suggested Q-Sys,’ said Biplob Saha, deputy general manager, sales at Pro Visual Audio. ‘ISI also considered an alternative system from Bose, but in the end they liked the future-ready nature of the Q-Sys platform, and the fact that it's based on industry-standard Layer 3 networking technology. They were also impressed by the AEC algorithm and that helped the QSC solution score over the competition.’
The new system accepts input from various Audio-Technica microphones placed around the conference room and then passes the feeds into the Core 250i processor. Audio from the connected parties on the conference system is played back through four QSC AD-S82H speakers placed around the room and driven by a QSC CX302 amplifier.
Upon completion of the installation, Deepak Gracias, general manager, technical at Pro Visual Audio, who helped Cineworth in programming the Core 250i, commented that he could ‘program the whole system very quickly and the sound from the QSC ADS-82H speakers was pristine’.
Cineworth concluded that ‘the end result is awesome audio reproduction and smiles of satisfaction from our client!’
