The Shanghai Conservatory of Music, located in the Xuhui District of Shanghai, China, recently upgraded the audio system in the multi-functional North Building Lecture Hall, and L-Acoustics solutions were deployed.
Wang Yin Acoustics Design Studio led the renovation of the acoustics treatment while L-Acoustics certified provider distributor Rightway Audio Consultants (RAC) led the upgrade of the professional sound system.
The lecture hall is used to host conferences, concerts and professional academic lectures.
The acoustic treatment reduced the hall’s reverb time to a minimum, leaving a blank slate for the concert-grade audio system to deliver the asked-for performance and consistency of a live recording studio or post-production facility.
To accomplish this, RAC installed an L/C/R design using one L-Acoustics A10i Wide and one A10i Focus per hang. L-Acoustics KS21 subwoofers delivered extended low-frequency while X8 speakers are placed on the edge of the stage for monitoring. Once installed, the team at RAC leaned on the L-Acoustics P1 processor for system tuning.
Li Junlong from RAC concluded: “The audio upgrade equips the Shanghai Conservatory of Music with quality and flexibility for any kind of performance or program. Having an L-Acoustics professional sound system will help the school meet the needs of students and faculty for years to come.”
