Bose Professional MSA12X Resonates an Impeccable Sound Experience At MIT Loni-Kalbhor’s Colossal Dome The Maharashtra Academy of Engineering Education and Research's Maharashtra Institute of Technology, popularly known as MAEER'S MIT college, is home to one of the largest domes in the world. The structure, as affirmed by Dr Vishwanath Karad, Founder of MAEER'S MIT College Pune, is one of the largest domes in the world, and is also home to a subliminal audio experience thanks to the world’s leading brand in innovative professional audio technology – Bose Professional. Mr. Kulkarni – IT Head at MIT Loni-Kalbhor, and the man in charge of the project in terms of its technological infrastructure including the acoustics and sound reinforcement, shares “MIT is a place where history and legacy meets science and cutting-edge technology; and this is a virtue that we are both proud of and abide by very strictly. This fact is amply demonstrated through the establishment of the massive dome structure at our Loni-Kalbhor campus. Thus, by default, it was imperative that we acquired only the best state-of-the-art pro audio system for the dome. There were several key considerations that factored in the selection for the appropriate sound system – from aesthetics to superior sound quality and unmatched distribution and coverage. After checking almost every available option in the market, we found the Bose system to meet all our requirements. We met with the team that finally commissioned the sound system here, and they proposed a precise design sketched through their Modeler Presentation system. We must commend the fact that they went the extra mile in providing a live demonstration of the entire proposed solution which certified the modelled results; and that is when we were completely convinced about the positives of the system, and of the system being an absolute value for money investment.” 44 The Score Magazine highonscore.com The Panaray MSA12X loudspeaker system is controlled and managed through a Bose ControlSpace® ESP1280C processor, which highlights the system’s Dante digital audio network interfacing capability and ensures smooth and easy control of the entire system. The dome was inaugurated on 2nd October 2018 by the honorable Vice-President of India Shri Venkaiah Naidu, in commemoration of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. And according to Mr Kulkarni – the entire program unfolded smoothly, much to the delight of everyone in attendance, with special commendation towards the subliminal sound experience thanks to Bose, where the primary FOH system comprising the Bose Panaray MSA12X loudspeakers delivered a flawless performance, along with the revolutionary Bose L1 System deployed as fills along the flanks of the dome during the function. Mr Vibhor Khanna – Country Manager – SAARC, Bose Professional expressed his thoughts about the brand’s association with the project as he asserted, “The MIT is an iconic institution in our country’s education legacy, and the MIT Loni-Kalbhor campus is now a symbol of excellence for the world, as it is now home to an architectural marvel. The dome depicts the advancements in design and technology that we as a country have achieved; and it is a matter of such great honour and pride that the management at MIT Loni-Kalbhor decided to partner with Bose Professional for an unmatched sound experience. We would like to thank and commend the entire management at MIT Loni-Kalbhor for investing their faith in our brand; and a special vote of thanks to the entire audio commissioning team for a job well done in commissioning a truly state-of-the-art audio architecture at the dome. We are proud to deliver the kind of world-class audio solution that an iconic and exemplary structure like the MIT Loni-Kalbhor dome truly deserves.”
