Established in 1994 by the Pelita Harapan Foundation, UPH provides high-quality facilities including TV, photographic and scientific laboratories, and an international-standard sports centre. The University boasts 31 departments and 9,000 students. The latest addition to the campus is the 2,200-capacity Grand Chapel theatre based in the University's Digital Campus, which houses the Faculty of Music.
Local installer, Kairos MultiJaya, was contracted to design, supply and install the sound, lighting and video projection system into the Digital Campus. Central to the installation is an Allen & Heath iLive system, comprising an iLive-112 control surface and iDR10 stagerack, which manages FOH and monitor sound for all events and productions.
"When UPH was looking for a sound system for their new hall, they wanted a system that can reflect their future orientation and sophistication, and the digital mixer from Allen & Heath was ideal for this purpose. iLive's feature set exceeded the expectations of the venue's management and didn't blow the budget," says Kairos MultiJaya's installation specialist, Leo Tanzil.
"The management team was very impressed that the digital system uses common Ethernet Cat 5 cable rather than an a bulky analogue snake cable, as the Ethersound system provides a significant saving within the budget due to the large size of the building."
