Backed by 100 years of history, Nantong Middle School in China’s Jiangsu Province is eyeing the future, with a new auditorium and its high-performance loudspeaker systems.
Founded in 1909 by Qing era industrialist and educator Zhang Jian, Jiangsu Nantong Middle School is recognised across China, and is one of the first middle schools in Jiangsu set up in the modern fashion. Its alumni include politicians, artists, scientists and Olympic gold medallists.
The opening of the new hall in the Chongya Building of the main campus marks the school’s 110 anniversary, and required a high-quality sound system to support is various uses. The choice was the Martin Audio MLA Mini, for its consistent coverage and high resolution, as well as the level of control offered by the Display optimisation software.
The system itself comprises two sets of MLA Mini, supported by two CDD Live15s, two CSX218 subs and three CDD5s. For fill, a pair of portable Blackline F12+ was specified – which can be relocated subject to requirement – along with two installed XD12s. The system is driven by Martin Audio amplification, in the form of an MA5.2K, and a pair each of MA2.8Q, and MA3.0, managed by four of Martin Audio’s DX0.5 dedicated processors.
All Martin Audio components were supplied by Beijing Pacific Budee, whose Sales Manager JT Liu says: ‘We are very proud to have provided this unique Martin Audio sound system that students and teachers at this school can enjoy for many years.’
More than 5,000 leaders, successful alumni, retired teachers and other dignitaries attended the school’s anniversary celebration and theatre dedication ceremony, and were able to hear the new sound system at first-hand.
‘We are grateful to this prestigious School for their faith in Martin Audio and to Budee’s ongoing passion to deliver our signature sound, coverage, consistency and control in China,’ adds Martin Audio MD, Dom Harter.
