Sri Lankan education centre refits with QSC
Published: ASIA
SRI LANKA: Dynamic AV Technologies recently installed QSC KLA and K Series loudspeakers into the auditoriums at the Colombo-based Sri Lankan Foundation Institute (SLFI), one of the Sri Lankan Republic's largest and oldest adult education centres.
The SLFI, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2014, specialises in vocational training for the Sri Lankan people in a variety of career disciplines, including psychology, sociology, business and language studies.
The sound reinforcement systems in the institute's main auditorium and four associated smaller lecture halls were all recently refurbished, receiving new loudspeakers, microphones and sound mixers. Dynamic AV Technologies suggested that QSC KLA and K series loudspeakers would be the best solution for the PA systems. The management was persuaded to choose QSC after noticing that QSC systems have been used in many Sri Lankan government installations.
The main auditorium now features four KLA12 line array units (two per channel) with two KLA181 subwoofers, and a further two K8 Actives acting as side-fills. A new mixer and various wireless lavalier microphones were also installed as part of the upgrade, to be used by lecturers. The four lecture halls each received a portable PA system comprising two K8 loudspeakers supplemented with a compact sound mixer and wireless mics.
Commenting on the performance of the new system following the installation, the management of the Sri Lanka Foundation professed itself ‘very happy with the sound quality of the QSC system, after searching for some time to ensure that the quality of the PA system would be sufficiently high’.
