JBL Professional CBT 1000 Constant Beamwidth Technology column loudspeakers and Soundcraft Si Series digital mixers have been integrated inside the primary conference hall at the African Space Agency headquarters in New Cairo’s Space City, Egypt.
Delivered by Harman Professional distributor Audio Technology, the multi-year project provides automated speech reinforcement and simultaneous interpretation support for intergovernmental meetings. To protect room sightlines and avoid reflections without installing distributed ceiling or fill speakers, the engineering team deployed two CBT 1000 column arrays at the front of the hall, achieving uniform acoustic coverage across the entire delegate seating area.
Digital routing, automixing and multi-channel interpretation feeds are managed through Soundcraft Si Series consoles.
Nermeen Iskander, marketing director for Audio Technology, said: “The conference hall required a solution that could deliver uniform coverage while minimizing the number of visible loudspeakers. The JBL CBT 1000’s Constant Beamwidth Technology allowed us to achieve full coverage of the hall using only two front-mounted speakers while maintaining the speech intelligibility required for high-level conferences and multilingual proceedings.”
