Paju City Civic Centre upgrades with JBL & Cown
- Details
Founded in 1994, the Centre is a public facility owned by the Paju City Facility Management Corporation, with five floors above ground and five basement floors. The public corporation utilises the centre to promote the arts, host sporting events and improve the quality of life for Paju residents.
But the venue’s existing audio system presented major challenges, including inconsistent electrical work and a lack of output from the speaker amplifier, prompting organizers to commission a complete system overhaul. Additionally, the centre is an old building that isn’t structurally equipped to handle modern audio systems without additional support.
After conducting a structural safety diagnosis, TechDataPS Co overcame these challenges by designing and installing a new audio system using flexible piping and JBL Professional, Crown and Soundcraft audio solutions.
The installation team utilised JBL VTX V20 professional loudspeakers and S25 compact high-output line array subwoofers to deliver full dynamics, wide coverage and clear sound throughout the venue. JBL SRX712 stage monitors provide equally clear and distortion-free sound for onstage performers.
Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifiers with Omnidrive HD Processing and the LevelMAX Limiter Suite efficiently power the speakers, and the Soundcraft Vi2000 digital audio console and Vi Stagebox offer mixing power and input flexibility.
Organisers for the Paju City Civic Centre noted how the venue’s age presented a serious challenge, but a new system with best-in-class technology was nonetheless a priority. They commended the TechDataPS team for their technical skills and achieving a satisfying final setup.
“For a facility like Paju City Civic Centre that hosts a wide range of events, a versatile audio system that creates immaculate guest experiences is a must,” comments Amar Subash, director, channel management and audio solutions, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. “We would like to thank our partner TechData PS for their expertise and dedication to executing the project to perfection and trusting Harman’s solutions to achieve a great audio experience.”
