Modern audio solutions that deliver clarity and precision in every corner.

To better-support the centre’s existing ViewSonic Touch Screen display in the Main Hall, Vision One supplied and installed a fully-integrated audio system that comprised of an Audac NOBA8 Slimline Desiger 8” Integrated Subwoofer and Amplifier, two KYRA12 12” Designer Column Speakers and an Audac W225/W Universal Wall Panel with Mic/Line/Bluetooth Inputs.

Characterised by an innovative & unique design and with its curved shape – made of aircraft graded aluminum – the NOBA8 is able to deliver an unheard low frequency response for its small woofer size. The KYRA12 design column speaker consists of 12 x 2” high-quality aluminum cone full-range drivers, delivering extraordinary clarity and detailed sound. The overall continuous power handling reaches 120 Watt and the beamwidth of 174° x 9° (-6 dB avg 1 kHz – 4 kHz)* makes it the perfect match for acoustically difficult venues, reducing echo and microphone feedback which optimises the speech intelligibility in reverberant venues.

Seamless integration elevates the Kirrip Community Centre's AV experience.

The WP225 is a remote wall mixer that can be used in combination with various AUDAC hardware. It converts the signal coming from a stereo line-level audio source (such as a tuner, mobile devices, … ) or balanced microphone to the level corresponding to the differential signal input making it possible to transfer high-quality audio over long distances between the wall panel and the loudspeaker, by just using inexpensive twisted-pair CAT5e or better cabling. On the front side of the wall panel, there is a 3.5 mm jack stereo line input connection available together with a balanced XLR microphone input, both provided with their own knob which allows the signals to be mixed together.

Benefits
  • Enhanced clarity and coverage of audio throughout the main hall for various community events.
  • Seamless integration with existing technology, delivering a cohesive AV experience.
  • Minimised audio distortion, echo and feedback, making speech more intelligible.
  • Simplified control of audio sources, allowing staff and community users to operate the system effortlessly.

By integrating a robust audio solution, Vision One has empowered the Kirrip Community Centre with an advanced AV system that meets the needs of a diverse and dynamic community. The new installation not only complements the existing technology but also optimises the hall for clearer communication, making the centre more accessible and functional for all users.
