An enlightening aural experience captivates AIIMS Jodhpur with an all Bose Pro audio architecture Students, staff and teaching faculty at the AIIMS Jodhpur are in awe of their very own enchanting 942-seater multi-purpose auditorium, which entails sights of aesthetic regale and a phenomenal aural experience that enthrals, thanks to an avant-garde professional audio architecture comprising RoomMatch® loudspeakers and PowerMatch® amplifiers from the world’s leading brand in innovative pro audio technology – Bose Professional. A IIMS Jodhpur is one of the SIX NEW AIIMS established by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, Institute of National Importance (INI) under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna (PMSSY) has for long been the fore-runner excellence institution in the field of medicine and medical studies. And the AIIMS institute in Jodhpur is no exception to this norm – offering curricular and extra-curricular infrastructure that’s designed to foster holistic development of their students in every aspect of life. A key highlight of the facilities and infrastructure is the sprawling auditorium; which undoubtedly makes for a visually stunning space, in addition to the fact of it playing host to the wide variety of applications like Conferences and Seminars, Drama and Theatre, Classical Dance and Music Performances, College 46 The Score Magazine highonscore.com Festivals and Cultural Programs, Movie playback in 5.1 Cinema Surround, and VIP functions, to name a few. During the commissioning stages of the auditorium though, it was found that the space posed several acoustical challenges due to the sheer expanse and the physical dimensions, in addition to the extensive use of certain materials which obviously increased cosmetic appeal but impugned acoustic intelligibility. It is at this point that AIIMS Jodhpur’s Engineer-In-Charge, Shri RK Joshi, SE-AIIMS Jodhpur, along with his team, recognised the auditorium’s need for a special solution that could offer a high degree of intelligibility and, at the same time, be aesthetically appealing to maintain the facility’s appealing visuals.
