SENE installs multiple solutions at Garden International School

MALAYSIA: Systems Electronics & Engineering Sdn Bhd (SENE) has designed and installed audio solutions for several compounds at Garden International School (GIS) in Mount Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. The school had recently embarked on an expansion and redevelopment project. SENE supplied a new outdoor sound system for its stadium, a portable sound system for the Music Department and acoustically treated the Music Recital Room.
Following initial discussions with the school’s sound technician, Karl Taras, SENE mounted Community R52z and R.25-94z loudspeakers to the stadium stand’s roof to provide audio coverage for the pitch. Audio is processed via a Symetrix Jupiter 8 digital signal processor and controlled with an iPad using a Mackie DL806 mixer. A Furman CN3600SE is used to sequence and protect the equipment.
‘We are getting great use out of the field system, more that I would have thought,’ commented Mr Taras. ‘The feedback from the staff has been very positive and I have shown some of them how to use it, which is great. It is simple for them to switch on and use even when I'm not around.’
Although not part of the original specification, SENE also supplied the school’s multipurpose hall with a new digital mixing system. Allen & Heath’s Qu-32 was chosen for suit the school’s needs as a result of its I/O flexibility.
'We sat down with Karl, discussed the school’s usage requirements, and were certain that the Qu-32 would be the perfect solution to meet the school’s needs,’ explained SENE Country Manager Lim Kheong. ‘It was ideal in terms of size, user friendliness, I/O versatility and of course, the iPad remote control option. It also came in at a very competitive price point and offered a lot of value for the price.’
‘We were looking at a digital mixing console that had the capability and versatility for our annual drama presentation and other school events,’ added Mr Taras. ‘The Qu-32 met all of our requirements and since the control room is located within another room in the back of the hall, we find the remote mixing feature using an iPad to be very handy and it also gives us a higher channel count.’
