Terra Emmen school offers a varied and practical curriculum
The Netherlands - The newly built Terra Emmen school offers a varied and practical curriculum – including cooking, ‘green subjects’, and sports, alongside more traditional subjects – and, as such, required an audio system that could be as versatile as it was discrete.
After assessing the options available to them, the school’s administrators decided that MM Concept Audio Solutions was the right company to assist them in creating an audio infrastructure that could fit into Terra Emmen’s sustainable, forward-thinking ethos.
“The initial brief from Terra Emmen was rather a simple one,” said Mark Molema, CEO of MM Concept Audio Solutions. “At that point, they weren’t being supported by an AV system advisor, which was a huge benefit for us. As far as they were concerned, the functionality and ease-of-use of the system was key, which is a welcome change from the more in-depth or challenging plans we would usually get from typical AV system advisors. The fact that the school trusted our knowledge really allowed us to think outside of the box and come up with a unique way of giving them the functionality they required.”
Molema decided that a number of MAG Audio NX10-8 loudspeakers would be best suited to the job of covering the various zones around the building; a system that was to be driven by Powersoft’s Mezzo 602 A and Mezzo 322 A amplifier platforms.
Since their introduction in 2019, the Powersoft Mezzo amplifier platforms have become MM Concept Solutions’ go-to for all fixed installation projects.
“If we need larger amounts of system headroom, we go for the Quattrocanali or Ottocanali platforms, but generally the Mezzo is the one we choose,” said Molema. “It gives us a power-to-size advantage, and its class-leading DSP features and Dante integration are always useful.”
Molema also cited Mezzo’s scalability and low-power consumption as major strengths in projects such as Terra Emmen.
“The fixed installation market is getting more and more demanding,” he said. “Clients will often prefer the most compact, cost-efficient solutions available; and Mezzo has a fantastic set of features to accommodate these factors and much more besides.”
