The Gem Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is a flexible function space utilised for large scale events such as corporate conferences and live performances. Local Harman distributor, Basao Investment, installed a full range of Harman Professional solutions to handle the audio requirements of the space.
PAn integrated audio system was required to reinforce a coffee shop, a restaurant, two meeting rooms, two ballrooms, a sky bar, a runway and a balcony. The background music system features 12 JBL Control 23T loudspeakers, 39 JBL Control 25T loudspeakers, 15 Control 28T-60 loudspeakers and 12 Control 28 loudspeakers. Other systems feature eight PRX715 powered loudspeakers, two PRX735 powered loudspeakers, 18 Vertec VT4888DP-DA powered line array loudspeakers and eight Vertec VT4882DP-DA powered arrayable subwoofers.
The background music system is powered by four Crown CTs 1200 amplifiers and two CTs 600 amplifiers, as well as two 1160 mixer-amplifiers. Two Soundcraft Si Expression 3 and two Soundcraft Spirit GB2 consoles with two Mini Stageboxes handle mixing. The system also features dbx ZonePro 640m digital zone processors for expanded processing capability as well as four Lexicon MX400 multi-effects processors.
Nguyen Khac Anh, managing director of Basao Investment, said regarding the installation: “The equipment list that we provided works well for this venue, as it will allow guests to enjoy crystal clear music in the background as well as onstage. We have relied on harman for many years, because its products give us a lot of flexibility when it comes to designing integrated systems for special venues like the Gem Center.â€
