Dubai-based systems integrator Qvest Media FZ LLC has been contracted to provide the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with a new, high-tech audio network from Riedel for the transmission of audio signals.
The 22,000 sqm mosque, which can accommodate 40,000 worshippers, required more than 50 loudspeakers to be installed at the mosque, the minarets as well as the courtyards. Now, the mosque has upgraded its audio network with Riedel technology in order to transmit the microphone signals with the best possible sound quality and with zero delay.
The upgrade will include a new, real-time audio control system that is based on a fully scalable Riedel RockNet 300 infrastructure. This will be deployed at the mosques audio control room to ensure interference-free distribution of microphone signals.
Ten remotely controllable RockNet microphone line-in modules will, in the future, provide the option of handling a total of 80 incoming signals.
Ten RockNet line-output modules also have 80 outputs, which are used for output to the audio console. To ensure perfect transfer of the audio signals, Qvest Media is also supplying additional RockNet in-line repeaters that allow a completely interference-free connection distance of up to 300 meters.
The technical crew of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque will install the individual components over the next six weeks. During this phase, however, there will be no interruptions to the mosques operation, as the systems will be integrated outside the main prayer times.
