Attero Tech bridges the gap
Attero Tech bridges the gap
The Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in New Jersey has recently upgraded its main sanctuary, café and lobby spaces with a sound system consisting of audio wall plates from Attero Tech. These were installed by CCI Solutions.
‘Throughout the week, the church holds small events in the café that might require only a single microphone and a laptop or smartphone,’ explained Todd Gathany, CCI Solutions project leader and director of design and engineering. ‘The idea was to enable them to come in and plug a dynamic microphone and any other equipment they needed into a local panel right there in the café or go wireless and use Bluetooth from a phone.’
CCI Solutions installed an Attero Tech unD6IO-BT Dante-networked audio wall plate including Bluetooth connectivity, RCA and 1/8-inch mini jacks. An Attero Tech unD3IO wall plate provided an XLR mic/line input with an XLR mic/line output, a stereo pair of RCA inputs including an 1/8-inch mini jack for input and another mini jack for output. The panels send the input signals as well as receiving output signals via Dante to a Symetrix Radius 12x8 EX DSP to perform routing and signal processing for the system. The Radius EX processor is controlled from a Symetrix ARC-2e menu-driven, remote-control wall panel in the café to provide volume changes and source selection between the Attero Tech panel and the signal from the sanctuary, which is the default source of the café’s sound system.
‘Attero Tech is a product we look to when we build out a robust Dante presence on a campus,’ Gathany added. ‘It’s a nice product we can drop anywhere on the network and quickly integrate. It’s always reliable and does what it’s supposed to, and the Symetrix integration is pretty seamless.’
