Summary

In August 2018 NAMCOL, the Namibian College of Open Learning, got a substantial audio upgrade: a dB Technologies DVA K5 line array with DVA KS20 subwoofers.

The setting

The Namibian College of Open Learning (NAMCOL) is an education institution in Namibia. The project was in a large hall with a raised stage, a steel roof structure and rows of seating.

The challenge

NAMCOL needed a substantial audio upgrade for its hall. The room is large and open, with a high steel roof and visible ductwork, so the sound has to be placed with care.

What we did

We completed the upgrade in August 2018 with dB Technologies. The system is a DVA K5 line array (speakers hung in a column so sound reaches the whole room) with DVA KS20 subwoofers. The arrays hang from the roof steel on both sides of the stage.

The outcome

NAMCOL's hall now has a substantial new audio system, with line arrays either side of the stage.
