The brief was to supply a system that would provide high quality sound for up to 100 passengers. The system needed to be loud whilst retaining clarity.
Utilising the voicing of the D8 D-Lite Speakers, Savilles were able to install a high quality audio system within the constraints of the customer's budget.
The Violet Audio ADP61 Studio AV Preamp Decoder was installed to process the surround-sound before being fed to the Biamp MCA8150 8 channel amplifier. The MCA8150 delivers 150Watt per channel into 4 ohms, which powered the 250Watt, two-way D-Lite D8s. The D8s were complimented by the PowerSub 312 active 12" subwoofer, equipped with an integrated three- channel power amplifier with a total output of 1300Watts.
The unusual decision to install an active sub was taken as the PowerSub 312 offered the best size, weight and audio performance and allowed the subwoofer to be sited anywhere in the room.
