The capital of east-central China’s Henan province, Zhengzhou is known for its rich history as an ancient Shang Dynasty capital. Historic sites like the Henan Museum and Shaolin Monastery sit alongside modern developments like Zhongyuan Medical Science City, a transformative 130 square kilometre development which is set to become a flagship international centre for medical innovation.
Bringing together provincewide resources in medicine, education, research, production and funding, the location is already home to leading clinical and industrial research institutes and biomedical enterprises, with a 40,000 square metre International Exchange Center providing a venue on site for conferences and exhibitions, along with accommodation, banqueting and office space.
In the large main conferencing hall, particularly stringent performance criteria were set for the sound system with a focus on speech intelligibility, sound field uniformity, reliability and versatility.
So, the team at AV technology specialists Shanghai Haoyun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. designed and installed a NEXO GEO S12 line array system comprising left and right main clusters of 6 boxes, with a central 3-box cluster and LF extension from 2 pairs of LS18 subs on the stage.
Eight of NEXO’s groundbreaking ID84 column speakers are spaced equidistantly to the left and right of the audience seating area, with ID24 super-compact speakers used for front fills.
Return monitoring for presenters is provided by 4 of NEXO’s acclaimed P12 point source speakers in a system powered by NEXO NXAMP Powered TD Controllers.
Commenting on the installation, NEXO Asia Sales Manager Joe White says “This is a very large conferencing hall in which the ID84 columns supplement the main line array system really well to deliver excellent speech intelligibility to every corner of the room. Congratulations to the team at Shanghai Haoyun for another highly successful NEXO installation.”
