RAD to DSP (or other device) using Multiple Mongoose Devices
The following sample application is a bit more complex. It is a hotel that contains several meeting rooms,
a ballroom, and a restaurant/bar. It is a prime target for the Mongoose because of the low channel count
in each room and the scattered locations of each audio input and output. This system requires more than
eight RADs and, therefore, requires more than one Mongoose. The specific requirements are as follows:
Meerkat Room
(used for meetings, conference sessions, roundtable discussions)
•
Six microphones on one side of the room
•
Four powered speakers high on the wall – on the sides and in the back of the room
Cusimance Room
(used mostly for presentations)
•
Two microphones – one in the northwest corner and one in the southeast corner
•
Amplification of audio from a computer. This computer could be located in the northwest corner
or in the southeast corner of the room.
•
Two to four powered speakers mounted high on the wall – in the southwest and northeast corners
of the room
Atilax Ballroom
(used for roundtable discussions, presentations, music performances)
•
Seven microphones to be placed on the west, north, and/or south sides of the room
•
Amplification of audio from a computer, DVD player, or similar device
•
Four powered speakers on the north, south, and east sides of the room.
Hotel Restaurant that also contains a bar
Carnivore Cantina (the restaurant)
•
Connection for a satellite music service to the hotel’s central audio system
•
Connection for a CD jukebox to the hotel’s central audio system
Botswana Bar
•
Connection for cable TV to the hotel’s central audio system
•
Connection for a TV with DVD player to hotel’s central audio system
