UCC is “first” venue in Singapore equipped with L-ISA
The University Cultural Centre (UCC) recently upgraded to an L-Acoustics system, provided by Concept Systems Technologies (CST), to power sound in its 1,700-capacity Ho Bee Auditorium. Situated at the Kent Ridge campus of the National University of Singapore, the auditorium plays host to a wide range of event activities and productions, such as orchestral performances, musicals, faculty events, commencement ceremonies and external hires.
L-Acoustics application engineer Chung Wah Khiew worked alongside CST to design an L-ISA configuration for the space which boasts a horseshoe-shaped seating area featuring two tiers of balconies alongside stall seating. Utilising L-Acoustics Soundvision 3D modelling software, the 5.1 design features five hangs of five A15i Focus and one A15i Wide each, with eight KS21i centre-hung subwoofers for low-end definition. Delivering front-fill are seven X8 coaxial speakers, while nine 5XT coaxials and two Syva colinear line source speakers deliver sound as deck-fill. Additionally, 14 5XT provide fill to the grand circle and circle seating areas. Powering the system is 10 LA4X, four LA2Xi and one LA7.16i amplified controllers. Driven by L-ISA Processor II, a P1 processor and an LS10 switch provide Milan-AVB signal distribution.
L-Acoustics application engineers trained the UCC technical team on the L-ISA technology and provided live mixing training courses, to provide the team with the vital skill and knowledge of L-ISA immersive sound technology.
Commissioned earlier this year, the Ho Bee Auditorium at UCC is reportedly the first venue in Singapore equipped with the L-Acoustics sound technology which provides an immersive audio experience for audiences.
