Adlib installs Coda Audio TiRay at Aberystwyth Arts Centre
Part of the University of Aberystwyth, Aberystwyth Arts Centre is Wales’ largest arts centre, serving not only the University but also the town and surrounding region. Comprising a 900-seater Great Hall, 300-seater Theatr y Werin, and 100-seater studio, the Centre presents a broad multi-disciplinary, bilingual arts and entertainment programme.
In recent times the Arts Centre’s team had identified its Great Hall PA system as a weak point within its infrastructure, and wished to replace the existing provision with a modern PA system. Following a competitive tender process, venue technology specialist Adlib was engaged to supply and install a new system.
Adlib Senior Applications Engineer Tim Robinson designed a Coda Audio TiRay two-way, full range line array system for the venue. Kevin Toms, Sales Manager at Adlib, oversaw the project. He explains: “The previous system didn’t cover the the venue sufficiently, resulting in an inconsistent listener experience which depended solely on where you happened to be sitting or standing.”
“It’s also fair to say that the sound quality wasn’t of a sufficiently high standard for the size and status of the venue”, Toms continues. “Coda Audio’s proprietary prediction software, System Optimiser, enabled us to identify TiRay as the perfect fit for the venue. Not only could we achieve full coverage of the main seating area with two hangs but also meet the working load limit of 100 kg per hang specified in the brief.”
Adlib installed a main system comprising two flown hangs of eight Coda Audio TiRay, with three Coda Audio U4 double 18” multi-purpose subwoofers at floor level. Two Coda Audio Hops7-Pro (dual 6.5”) point source units were deployed as balcony fills, with a further four Hops5 (dual 5”) point source, coaxial units for lipfills. The system is driven by four Coda Audio Linus6.4 DSP 4-channel installation amplifiers.
The programming demands at the Centre’s Great Hall are varied, existing as it does as a commercial venue serving the local community, and as a University facility. It was essential that the system could accommodate everything from live bands to theatrical performances, and solo presentations to graduation ceremonies.
