The Challenge

The museum required a comprehensive audio solution that could integrate a distributed speaker system, DSP, and mixer into one cohesive system – delivering natural, high‑fidelity audio across the entire auditorium while eliminating complications caused by third‑party mixers. The system needed to be simple enough for non‑technical staff to operate and maintain long‑term performance reliability.

Integrated AV Ecosystem

Pratyam Technologies selected the Q‑SYS Ecosystem – a software‑centric audio, video, and control platform powered by Q‑SYS OS. The system was carefully aligned with the auditorium's acoustic design, developed by consultant Vijay Purandare, ensuring optimal sound absorption and reflection balance.

The unified architecture eliminated compatibility issues, streamlined operations, and provided plug‑and‑play simplicity for museum staff.
