OHM at India’s Greatest New Landmark – Digha Convention Centre

Auditorium deployed with TRS 212 FOH system and a pair of OHM’s BR series wide angled speakers

Digha is west Bengal’s most popular sea resort. It is located 187 km south west of Kolkata. Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee had earlier laid down the blueprint for the creation of a unique convention centre to promote business and tourism in New Digha. The Digha Convention Centre is now ready and a robust OHM system waits to welcome visitors.

The Auditorium

The auditorium design was challenging because of the sheer size, mounting restrictions and quality expectations. After ample deliberation, OHM chose a TRS 212 FOH system with a TRS 112-HN downfill, with lip-fills for the front rows and filters across the audience areas. The upper balcony and under balcony had a pair of OHM’s BR series wide angled speakers. TRS 115’s covered on the stage monitoring while KS-3’s took care of the reference and control rooms and ceiling speakers were installed in the green rooms. The systems were tuned on OHM’s Spyder software and Cleo MK3 DSP units to achieve a perfect blend of power & performance.
