SONODYNE SOUND AT SHREE SIDDHIVINAYAK TEMPLE, MUMBAI
In the heart of bustling Mumbai is the most revered temple in West India, Shree Siddhivinayak. The trustees called on Sonodyne to design a multizone sound solution not only for paging and evacuation but also to reinforce the prayer sessions. The heart of the system is the Australian Monitor Digipage digital music and paging matrix. The temple is divided into 5 zones: 2 outdoor areas, and 3 indoor prayer halls. At any given time all zones can be combined or operate separately with local / central feed. The amplification was also the Australian Monitor SY series. The outdoor speakers are Sonodyne AW2s, and the indoor, Australian Monitor XR8s. Together they provide crystal clear sound that is heard clearly above the loud ambient noise. The system was installed by Sonodyne's main channel partner Narain Pro Audio.
