The Isla ballroom of the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel, Manila.
“In addition to a main ballroom - which can be partitioned into three sections - there are 15 function rooms, with the control room positioned on an upper level. It was vital to the hotel’s 3 full-time technicians to be able to have remote control access around the complex to make quick changes to the system,’ said Vangee Fortin, Stagecraft’s VP of production.
“The Allen & Heath iDR system allows the technicians to distribute audio signals without having to be physically in the control room. We installed a total of 11 iDR-8 rackmount mixers over CAT5 cable, with 24 PL-4 wall plates and PL-5 IR handheld remote controls situated at various points to allow the managers immediate access and control to the audio levels and settings in the function rooms,’ Fortin explained.
Stagecraft also installed 5 Allen & Heath GL2200 live sound mixing consoles to provide sound reinforcement for live performances in the main ballroom, complimented by 100 ceiling speakers and 8 loudspeakers from Turbosound, which are powered by 8 Crest Audio amplifiers.
