OHM at India’s Greatest New Landmark – Digha Convention Centre
Digha is west Bengal’s most popular sea resort. It is located 187 km south west of Kolkata. Digha has a low gradient with a shallow sand beach extending upto 7 km in length and has gentle rolling waves. The scenic beauty of this place is charming and alluring. The beach is girdled with Casuarinas plantations along the coast enhancing its beauty. 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, we 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.
“The system is acoustically brilliant, easy to use and ready to withstand years of use. It echoes all our design principles and is sure to enhance our brand presence in this part of the country.,” says, Mr. Sushil John, Executive Director, APAC, OHM.
The Exhibition Centre
Olgha Convention Centre has a dedicated exhibition space for promotion of businesses and events in the area. The exhibition space has been built upto international standards and will host multiple meets & events in the sector of tourism, commerce, and trade among others. The area is engulfed by OHM's Bootique Speakers, which can be used as BGM or Announcement Systems.
Mr. Kamal Bhunia, Sales executives, East India, OHM, says, “The Digha Convention centre’s exhibition space is truly state-of-art and one of its kind. OHM has designed a distributed system to ensure superior sonic performance for BGM & announcement systems.”
Seminar Halls & Conference Rooms
The Seminar Halls & Conference Room have a dedicated PA &conference systems. They are designed using the latest ceiling array microphone technology, with OHM's KS & BAT series speakers reproducing crystal clear output across the areas. These areas will host board meetings, smaller conferences & workshops, professional gatherings and more.
“Sound Design in conference rooms and seminar halls is a key aspect of the place’s user experience. We have kept ease of the use and minimum interference at the top of our design priority list for an unobtrusive and enhancing sound design.” Said Anindya Bhattacharya, Seniour RSM, East India, OHM.
The 5-Star Hotel
Since the beginning, it was planned to have a lavish hotel within the convention centre to further enhance the experience of professional travelers at the venue. The hotel, will soon be taken over by a reputed brand, and Is a live-star property with a spa, banquets, restaurants, a bar and more. Each of these areas was complimented by an OHM sound system that enhances the ambience and lilts the energies of the patrons. The hotel has OHM's BR Series & Boolique series speakers across the various amenities and public areas.
