Livingstone Productions have provided an end-to-end Audac background music system
South Africa - System integration specialists Livingstone Productions have provided a sophisticated end-to-end Audac background music (BGM) system for IntegriSure, one of South Africa’s largest motor and home insurance brokers and its subsidiary company VIA Soft, which specialises in extended IT and administrative systems for financial services.
Based in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, the IntegriSure Group required a reliable and stripped back audio system that would seamlessly blend with their modern corporate environment. As the exclusive distributor of Audac in South Africa, Stage Audio Works (SAW) oversaw the design of the project, the supply of the equipment, and the commissioning of the system before handing back over to Livingstone Productions, who carried out the integration, delivering a solution that places the end-user experience at the heart of the operation, and will maintain it going forward.
At the centre of this install, Livingstone Productions integrated an Audac M2 8x8 Matrix Mixer, a multi-media audio distribution system, which boasts 11 powerful DSP processors. It can handle a diverse array of input signals, making it a suitable choice for this project, where the client required seven separate zones for their workspace.
A total of 23 powerful flush-mount Audac CALI660 ceiling loudspeakers deliver quality audio playback throughout IntegriSure’s headquarters with minimum visual impact thanks to their elegant design. A further two surface mounted ATEO6s were utilised where greater horizontal dispersion was needed - recommended by SAW for their ease of installation. This entire system is brought together by two Audac PMQ480 Quad Channel 100V amplifiers, which supply more than enough power.
Livingstone Production’s implementation of the Internet Radio SourceCon Streaming Card allows the client to easily integrate and control what is played across the zones via Soundtrack Your Brand. When combined with Audac’s patented Audac Touch 2 software, built specifically with the user experience in mind, the result is an accessible and familiar interface, all contained within a phone app. This software provides IntegriSure with total system control at their fingertips and the ability to create and customise application specific dashboards at their discretion.
