Hotel/Convention Center Installation
A hotel or convention center sound system must adapt quickly to a variety of meeting scenarios to accommodate the changing needs of the group(s) throughout a meeting session or series of sessions. By configuring the presets on the PSR1212, the system can be quickly reconfigured in a way that accommodates the changing of room configurations in some meeting areas without disturbing meetings in other rooms where no room configuration changes are necessary.

Figure 7.9 shows four rooms with removable partitions. The PSR1212 can be pre-configured to route microphone audio to one room or any combination of rooms. For example, say all four rooms are closed off for separate meetings; you can configure a preset to route the microphone audio only to the speaker in that room, with microphone gating properties applied as desired. Then, say the divider between Rooms A and B is removed for a combined meeting. You can use a preset that gates off microphones 3 and 4, while the audio from microphones 1 and 2 are routed to all speakers in Rooms A and B—while retaining the settings for the ongoing meetings in Rooms C and D. Later, when all partitions are removed for a final group meeting, you can use a preset that gates on only microphones 1 and 2, but routes audio to all speakers.

The use of other audio sources can be configured using the PSR1212’s parametric equalizers and filters to enhance audio quality.
