High-Performance Audio for Learning, Conferences and Culture

The Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, is a premier institution dedicated to advanced learning and scientific research. Its auditorium serves as a versatile venue for conferences, lectures, presentations and cultural programmes, requiring an audio solution that could deliver exceptional speech intelligibility while integrating seamlessly with multiple AV peripherals.

Despite its compact dimensions, the auditorium presented demanding acoustic requirements. The system needed to provide clear and uniform sound coverage without overwhelming the space, while maintaining the flexibility to support a wide range of academic and cultural events.

Sonodyne delivered a customised sound reinforcement solution featuring SJX Series Compact Line Array Speakers as the main Front-of-House system, complemented by SPA Series Active Speakers for fill applications.

The SJX Compact Line Arrays deliver powerful, detailed and highly intelligible sound from a compact form factor. Their controlled coverage helps distribute audio evenly across the audience area while minimising unwanted reflections, making them ideal for speech-focused applications such as lectures, conferences and presentations. The system also provides the dynamic performance required for music and cultural programmes.

The SPA Series Active Speakers provide flexible and effective fill coverage, ensuring consistent sound in areas beyond the primary coverage of the FOH system. Their active design simplifies installation and system integration while delivering clear, balanced and reliable audio.

The integrated solution enables seamless connectivity with multiple AV peripherals, supporting the auditorium’s diverse operational requirements and making the system adaptable for different event formats.

Together, the solution delivers high speech intelligibility, uniform audience coverage, seamless AV integration and dynamic performance, transforming the compact auditorium into an engaging and versatile venue for academic conferences, presentations and cultural programmes.
