“The chandelier was a pretty unique project,” says Electrosonic project manager Bryan Vogel. “It was two years in the making with the metal fabric built section by section, piece by piece on a rotisserie with jig. Every measurement had to be laser-perfect. If it was off by a quarter-inch on one end it would be off by five inches at the other.”

We were involved in every aspect of the brand new museum,” reports Electrosonic account executive Tony Petruzziello. “Every exhibit required AV components and a number of them are really stand-out experiences.”

Q-Sys offers a number of advantages to the Visitor Complex,” according to Electrosonic commissioning engineer Tony Peugh. “With Q-Sys, you no longer need separate devices to play back the audio, eliminating the need for multiple CD players and solid-state audio playback machines, and minimizing the equipment footprint in the rack room.” In fact, Electrosonic combined two EER rooms into one smaller space.

The theater was our biggest challenge, It’s a very small space with a low ceiling. We had to use fixed-lens projectors, which meant there was very little tolerance in installing them. We had to build a custom ceiling mount that allowed for projector adjustment in the field, as necessary. Projector airflow in the small space also had to be managed effectively. “The very sharp curve of the screen provided a challenge for warping the blend in WATCHOUT,” Benedict said. “It was quite complicated. Shifting the projector one inch in the wrong direction would change everything.”

The big challenge for us was working in a landmark building. The museum is such a cool space, and we had to work with the existing fabric of the building. We used existing lighting tracks to hang speakers in Galleries 5 and 7 because they wanted to avoid new penetrations in the red brick structure that was completed in 1887. In order to avoid acoustic issues, it was imperative to keep the audio localized and at low levels because all the ceilings are domed.

They can review camera feeds 24/7 in the facility and when there’s a traffic event – road damage or an accident – they can magnify that feed on the videowall. The videowall is integral to 24-hour traffic management.

In 2008, we supplied a rear-screen projection edge-blended system with Christie projectors. We have an ongoing relationship with The Weather Channel, and when they were looking for a new alternative to the blended system, we suggested Christie’s LED-illuminated DLP cubes, which offer extremely long lamp life, rich color and easy maintenance

We’re extremely happy with the video wall.

We have had a long and very successful relationship with Electrosonic and were happy when they won the last tender process. We needed a company that could work well with the software developers and filmmaker, and the Electrosonic teams dealt with [them] very effectively. AV is central to ‘The Body Adorned’ and visitors love it. “I am very happy with the service I get from Electrosonic, there is always someone at the end of the phone when I need help or advice, and there is always a quick response to any issues that arise”.

“Rob Smith and his team provided the AV equipment for the Body Adorned exhibition at the Horniman Museum. They supplied and installed a seamless giant screen and projection in a tight area and portrait monitors for our bespoke housings. The installation was efficiently co-ordinated with the designers, exhibition contractors and museum staff and achieved all the desired visual affects with spectacular results”.
