Stage Audio Works implements Pixel Plus LED solution for Namibian Prime Ministerial Office Chamber

The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) is at the apex of the system of government in the Republic of Namibia. A historical building in the Namibian capital of Windhoek, OPM houses the first Cabinet Chamber and the Constitution Room, in which most of the country’s legislatures were drafted.

The government recently elected to augment the Cabinet Chamber with a new sound reinforcement and visual display system. Gadgets Namibia Solutions were asked to source an appropriate solution, which they did through Stage Audio Works (SAW) Namibia.

“The multilevel and oval shaped seating arrangement made it impossible to implement a traditional projector and screen solution”, says Joppie Maritz of SAW Namibia. SAW, in consultation with Gadgets Namibia, designed and installed a customised solution based on Pixel Plus LED screens, a Novastar LED controller, Sennheiser TeamConnect 2 ceiling microphones, Audac loudspeakers and a Taiden digital conference microphone system. Video routing and switching is via Atlona with Q-Sys control for on/off and source selection.

“We mounted two Pixel Plus Xcell-i screens on opposite walls of the uppermost level. We chose a pixel pitch of 1.83 mm and used custom mounts for the installation”, says Maritz. For the comfort monitor cluster in the central area, which serves the lower level, they supplied four Samsung 65-inch UHD TV screens in custom Stage Plus screen trolleys, designed and built by the in-house manufacturing division for easy rearranging when required.

For the audio part, SAW installed a Taiden digital conference microphone system for each of the delegates on the lower level. Speech intelligibility for the upper gallery is enhanced with a pair of Sennheiser TT2 ceiling microphones and sound reinforcement overall is handled by eight discreetly mounted Audac WX502 loudspeakers. QSC Q-Sys control via a touchscreen handles source selection and powering all active equipment on/off. Multiple motion sensors in the room allow the system to switch itself off when not in use after a predefined period.
