Project Overview
The Shri Guru Ravidass Gurdwara in Kent required a high-quality and dependable audio system for use during daily prayers, vocal performances, and live instrument amplification. The main prayer hall features a raised ceiling, which presented acoustic challenges that needed to be accounted for when specifying equipment.
Audio Volt worked in collaboration with installer Safe Home Security to design, deliver, and install a tailored sound system that provides both clarity and coverage throughout the prayer hall while remaining simple to operate for the staff and congregation.
The Sound System Explained
Adastra RS360 360W Class-D Slave Amplifier
Chosen for its reliable power output, ease of use, and Class-D efficiency, making it a dependable solution to drive the installed loudspeakers.
ADASTRA RS360 - VIEW HEREHH Audio Q8FX 8-Channel Mixer with Effects
A professional-grade mixing desk featuring built-in effects such as Hall, Delay, and Echo. With eight microphone and instrument inputs, each equipped with 3-band EQ, the mixer allows fine adjustment of sound to suit the acoustics of the prayer hall.
HH Q8FX - VIEW HEREHH Audio Tessen TNi-W8
Installed in the main hall, these speakers were selected for their high SPL (115 dB) and wide frequency response (55Hz – 20kHz). A high SPL rating means the speakers can produce powerful, clear sound with less power, ensuring the large hall is evenly filled with sound. The versatile mounting brackets allowed the speakers to be positioned high up and angled downward, ensuring no sound was lost in the raised ceiling space.
