Shree Ayyappa Vishnu Temple, Mumbai

This house of worships is a key location in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It requires a specialized acoustic environment to meet the high standards expected by its patrons and operators.

: Our emphasis was on designing the sound system that enables the priests to effectively communicate with their listeners, and make sure they are actively engaged in conversations and music, by eliminating unwanted echo and reverberation. The best option for speaker placement was overhead pointed towards the listeners. In this arrangement, the listeners can focus on the message, not trying to decode difficult to hear words and music. The microphone beeing an important part of the sound system, we used multiple OSL O5G high-performance vocal microphones with adapted sensitivity for vocal range. This microphone is very reliable and the listeners are not subjected to the dynamic range compression that wireless microphones use to transmit sound. The system was completed by couple of power amplifiers and a British Acoustics LiveMix 8.2FX compact analogue mixing console.  The mixing console features a handy bluetooth as well as USB playback with recording option and gives acoustically pleasing experience in worship. TESTIMONIALS : "With any type of worship that we perform, it feels like we are really absorbed in it.” Prakash Nair, Director, Shree Ayyappa Vishnu Temple "We recognise the importance of intelligible speech and music that envelops the audience, front to back, regardless of the challenges of highly reverberating surfaces." Wicky Pareira, Tech Engineer, VMT Enterprise "The volume is loud enough where devotes can sing comfortably without worrying about not having pitch-perfect voice." Swapnil Shingade, Sales Engineer, VMT Enterprise "We see a steady trend of venues upgrading their AV systems to British Acoustics and OSL brands so they can provide better sound experience to their customers." Jeff Mandot, National Sales Manager, VMT Enterprise
