The challenge that faced the consultants was not only the difficult acoustic (RT > 3 sec) but also finding a solution that would have the minimum visual impact. Extensive acoustic treatment was not possible as the finishes in the room are listed. This listed status also meant that installing a distributed system was impossible. So, as a result of this, PGA decided to investigate an AXYS Intellivox solution and a demonstration quickly followed. The performance of the system coupled with its unobtrusive looks quickly convinced architect, consultant and venue manager that this was the way forward. Two AXYS Intellivox 2Cs were subsequently supplied by Autograph Sales and installed by Pro Media Systems. In addition to this, PGA have specified two Intellivox 1Bs for the Jarvis Hall at RIBA which have recently been installed by Quest Technical Systems.
