To ensure they get the best from their students, Kelsey Park decided it was time to replace the existing, overly complex sound system in the main hall with one that combined quality, simplicity and flexibility. The latter was important because the school wanted to be able to use the system across two areas: the hall being the priority, but with the option to use the system in the dining room partitioned off from the hall by a moveable wall.
Kelsey Park Sports College turned to Bose for a solution, who recommended they work with Bose Pro-Partner PEL. Bose and PEL worked closely on the project and, after giving the school a demonstration of the quality and ease of use of Bose Professional systems, PEL were awarded the contract.
PEL has now installed a comprehensive Bose sound system throughout the hall and dining area based on a Bose ControlSpace Digital Signal Processing platform. ControlSpace provides the flexibility and ease of use the school requires, allowing different areas to have sound at different times, all at the touch of a button.
Two double stacked Bose Panaray MA12 loudspeakers have been fitted at the front of the hall with two Bose Panaray MB4 bass loudspeakers and a further four Bose FreeSpace Model 32SE loudspeakers under the mezzanine. Two L1 portable line array systems extend the system to the dining room area.
Estates Manager Grahame Morton comments, "The installation was first class, without fuss and fitted around the College requirements. I was impressed by the level of detail in getting the system to perform exactly as we wanted it, the sophistication of the controls and the lengths that PEL went to ensure that we were happy with the end product.
