With both installation being outdoors, Technosound chose to base the installations around Community loudspeakers. The first venue is a driving experience called Rio City – actually a small village with a road network around which electric-powered cars are driven.
Rio City is a new concept in Lebanon, being entertaining but with and the serious goal of teaching youngsters how to drive responsibly while respecting the law, other road users and pedestrians. There is even a police officer in charge of traffic. Technosound delivered a music system to cover all public areas of Rio City, using nine distributed Community R.25-94Z loudspeakers driven by QSC RMX1450 amplifiers. A ProArt PM3320 provides dual zoning with a Teac dock for MP3 input.
The Waterpark also prides itself on having the highest ratio of lifeguards per square metre in the Middle East, and the specification for Technosound was for good music combined with the highest quality public address. Technosound again chose Community R-Series, but this time for their intelligibility over distance as well as music ability. Eight R.25-94TZ are pole-mounted in a central cluster, high above the park and with clear sight-lines to all areas. An ART MX622F provides control and mic input facilities and QSC ISA300TI amplifiers power the system.
‘We can rely on R-Series for outdoor applications in the Lebanese climate,’ says Pierre Fahed of Technosound. ‘They combine great sound quality and high intelligibility with excellent throw and well-defined coverage, in a robust, compact package. The results achieved at Rio City and Rio Lento Waterpark are both good examples of what these excellent loudspeakers can provide.’
