University in Korea Installs Aviom Source Select System

Transporting audio over long distances without sacrificing quality often presents system designers and contractors with a challenge and end users with an expensive solution. However, a recent Aviom installation at the University of Ulsan ice rink provided a solution that exceeded both the contractor's and the University's expectations.

The University of Ulsan in Seoul, Korea needed a way to connect inputs from the radio station/studio to remote clusters of speakers in the ice rink at a distance of up to 150m. Systems contractor for Dong Hwa Electronics Co. Ltd., Mr. Han Sung-Sun, with the support of Aviom's Korean distributor SOUNDUS Corporation, created his first Aviom audio network using an AN-16/i Input Module and multiple AV-P2 Output Modules for source selection.

The result was a system that the contractor considered ideal because it distributed high-fidelity audio over a long distance and provided multiple speaker sends using inexpensive and easy-to-install Cat-5e cables. "The most important thing was the expense for installation was less than we expected," explained Mr. Han.

The sound engineer at the University's ice rink was also pleased with the sound provided by the system. Mr. Han said, "Aviom performs better than any other product at a long distance."
