Bangkok Pavilion installs full Harman system
- Details
Built in 1993, Phrarajasatta Pavilion is an addition to Wat Pathum Wanaram, a mid-19th century Buddhist temple in Bangkok. Religious devotees and general public alike use Phrarajasatta Pavilion as a sacred place to conduct daily Buddhist activities, including worship, meditation and dharma practice. After 25 years of service, temple leaders hired audio integrator Mahajak Development to replace their rapidly aging sound system with a complete networked sound system, comprised of solutions by JBL, Crown, dbx and Soundcraft.
“Houses of worship like Wat Pathum Wanaram require premium audio solutions to provide guests and members of the community with immersive worship experiences,” says Pongsakorn Kanchanachayphoom, project director at Mahajak Development.
“In order to ensure balanced audio coverage and seamless integration with Phrarajasatta Pavilion’s elegant décor, we selected industry-leading Harman solutions which match the venue’s sophisticated atmosphere. The end-to-end Harman solution facilitates network distribution and audio management within the place of worship.”
With the objective of providing an immersive sound experience, Mahajak installed a range of JBL, Crown, dbx and Soundcraft solutions. The team equipped the pavilion with 26 JBL Control 25-1 indoor/outdoor speakers.
Mahajak utilised a Crown CDi 1000 two-channel amplifier to power the speakers and a dbx DriveRack VENU360 loudspeaker management system for optimize system performance. To ensure professional and polished mixes for events at Phrarajasatta Pavilion, Mahajak included a Soundcraft Signature 22 mixing console, which provides exceptional clarity, dynamic range and a superb signal-to-noise ratio.
“We required an audio system that would provide adequate power and quality, and blend in aesthetically with the simple design of our modest venue,” comments a spokesperson at the Wat Pathum Wanaram. “We hired Mahajak on very short notice, but they delivered exceptional sound quality with a speedy installation.”
