Topp Pro DLM-408 Plus Optimizing Shah Alam Buddhist Society sound system

Written by Eric Chee

This venue is recommended and proposed by CP Lim.

It is very common that sound system in most of the venue is not optimized. Most installation either go for basic sound system for simplicity sake or go for lowest budget for the minimum equipment purchase. Little that they know that the audio system that they have invested can be improved much further. 

While using general purpose audio system with general purpose quality is acceptable to many person, this practice should be stopped because the sound system invested is not few hundred ringgit but it cost up to thousands of ringgit. Fair to say with such high investment, the level of quality should be justified.

Shah Alam Buddhist Society has decided to improve the audio system by getting audio expert Bronte Audio Solutions to optimize the audio system. The original system still works fine but does not perform with satisfactory results. Just from the photo below, you will notice the hall and corridor are high reverberation area. The floor is a marble floor and the wall is the hard brick wall. These are highly sound reflective surface. With these conditions, the main problem of this venue will be the intelligibility. Of course the best solution is to do acoustic treatment for the wall and floor but this is the option that Shah Alam Buddhist Society do not want to explore yet.

Therefore, it is feasible to get audio expert come in to optimize the current system to improve intelligibility. For the audio expert, a reliable tool is needed. The tool is Topp Pro DLM-408 Plus digital speaker management. In order for the audio expert to be able to optimize the system efficiently, the tool need to be accurate, responsive and easy to use. Why this is important? Sound optimization, sound tuning and sound alignment are delicate job where precise audio frequencies measurement are taken from various points at the venue. From the measured data, the audio engineer will employ various corrective adjustments into digital loudspeaker management. While it is safe to say the measurement system used by the audio engineer has high degree of measurement accuracy, the digital loudspeaker management might not have the same level of accuracy. Therefore, in order for audio engineer to successful optimize the system, the digital loudspeaker management that being used must be accurate, responsive to the corrective adjustment and most importantly easy to be used during the tuning session. 

Topp Pro DLM-408 Plus tick all these criteria and it was chosen to be installed in Shah Alam Buddhist Society. While looking for the correct equipment, Bronte Audio Solutions reach out to AV Electronics to test various digital loudspeaker management. While the other loudspeaker management system also fulfill his need, what caught the eyes is the 4 input 8 output of DLM-408 Plus that enable more zone in Shah Alam Buddhist Society to be optimized.
