Sound revamped at the Valencia Oceanographic aquarium with CXA-12 for outdoors
Oceanogràfic, the biggest aquarium of Europe, has recently renewed its sound equipment in the dolphinarium area, trusting once again in Lynx Pro Audio. 15 outdoor passive CXA-12 enclosures have been set up in the venue, supplied by Neec Iberia, the official distributor of the brand in Spain and Portugal.
Until now, this dolphinarium had a set-up of Ionic-100 column speakers distributed around the pool, in front of the stands, to improve vocal clarity; while several DRN-12 subwoofers were flown to reinforce the low frequencies.
From now on, 15 units of passive CXA-12 speakers suitable for outdoor use will be covering the sound of the dolphinarium, next to the columns of the stands. The CXA-12 is a constant curvature line array, designed to make basic multipurpose line array configurations, with a maximum of four cabinets.
These 15 cabinets have been distributed in 3 points with three cabinets in array configuration and another 3 points with two cabinets, with the aim of covering the extensive stands with clarity and power, so that both the explanations of the monitors and the music can be heard clearly in each performance.
Each CXA-12 enclosure is amplified with a total of 1400 W Class D and switching power supply, with a PFC system and DSP processor with linear phase FIR filters.
For the amplification of the cabinets, 3 XT-10K amplifiers (4-channel stage for installation with 4 x 25000W of power, 64-bit DSP and Networking AES67 connectivity option), a RS4-3000 amplifier (4-channel stage with power up to 500 W per channel and connectivity through 4 balanced XLR inputs) and a RS4-4000 amplifier (4-channel amplifier with power up to 1000 W per channel and connectivity through 4 balanced XLR inputs) have been set up.
Finally, ARK digital processors have been implemented, specifically an ARK-2026 (2 inputs and 6 outputs) and an ARK-7048 (with Ethernet, 4 inputs and 8 outputs) designed to offer intuitive and easy-to-use access for users.
