The final example application illustrates the benefits of the Mongoose’s ability to aggregate audio channels.
In this example, we move to the campus of a small college – Kipling College. To help focus, we highlight a
small portion of what would likely be a much larger audio system. The college has just built a new student
union building (the Rudyard Student Union) and student cafeteria (the Rikki-Tikki-Tavi Cafeteria). They
want an audio system that sends miscellaneous music and television signals to various zones within each
building as well as a microphone paging system that serves both locations. The specific requirements are:
Rudyard Student Union
•
Two page microphones.
•
Nine audio zones.
•
Receipt of signal from music and television sources provided to the college.
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi Cafeteria
•
Two page microphones.
•
Four audio zones.
•
Receipt of signal from music and television sources provided to the college.
Rack Room
•
DSP box(es) that handle microphone mixing, zone processing, and receipt of music and
television signals.
