Qvest Media FZ LLC has announced today an order from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The Dubai-based specialist in the distribution and integration of media technology solutions will be supplying the United Arab Emirates’ largest mosque with a new, high-tech audio network for the perfect transmission of audio signals. During the order awarding and product selection process, Qvest Media impressed with first-class, high end solutions from its German partner Riedel, once again highlighting its high quality standards for the distribution and integration of broadcasting solutions that are “Made in Germany” in the Middle East region.
Over an area of around 22,000 square meters, the mosque provides space for up to 40,000 worshippers. To be able to reach all of these visitors and given the enormous spaces involved, more than 50 loudspeakers are installed in the mosque, the minarets and the courtyards. Now, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is upgrading its audio network with high-end technology from Germany in order to transmit the microphone signals with the best possible sound quality and with zero delay.
Qvest Media is therefore supplying a new, real-time audio control system based on solutions from its distribution partner Riedel. A fully scalable Riedel RockNet 300 infrastructure will be used in the mosque’s audio control room to ensure interference-free distribution of microphone signals. Ten remotely controllable RockNet microphone line-in modules will in future provide the option of handling a total of 80 incoming signals. Ten RockNet line-output modules also have 80 outputs, which are used for output to the audio console. To ensure perfect transfer of the audio signals, Qvest Media is also supplying additional RockNet in-line repeaters that allow a completely interference-free connection distance of up to 300 meters.
The technical crew of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque will be installing the individual components over the next six weeks. During this phase, however, there will be no interruptions to the mosque’s operation, since the systems will be integrated outside the main prayer times.
