ACOUSTICS and SOUND SYSTEM
(Checking out UN's acoustics and sound systems)
"VCA (Video Corporation of America) is a global technology integrator. VCA was selected to install a variety of AV products into the large remodeled meeting space of the United Nations. This room is extremely vital to operations due to its deliberative, policymaking and representative nature. Heads of state routinely meet in this space, countless news outlets broadcast these meetings around the world.

Because of the historical nature of the room, the remodel was done to preserve the original look of the space. To the naked eye it appears almost identical to how it looked prior to the renovation. The layout of the room includes approximately 500 delegate microphone seats, and an additional 1500 listen-only seats. The project required the integrated systems to support the organization’s campus wide systems; and also provide feeds to major news outlets. This was accomplished via leveraging both broadcast and professional audio-video technology solutions to work as one.

The United Nations audio systems contain products from QSC Q-sys, Yamaha Corporation CL-series used for mixing, processing and video conferencing, TAIDEN HCS 8300-series for Congress Microphone and Simultaneous Interpretation, Renkus-Heinz, Inc. ICII-R steerable arrays and Bag End subwoofers for room sound re-enforcement. The PureLink PM-series routers provided transport and stereo audio feeds into QSC. QSC and Taiden are redundantly linked via analog and AES audio while QSC and Yamaha are digitally linked directly via a 64×64 Dante™ audio transport bridge. QSC Q-sys campus wide audio network provides 16-channel program audio directly into the centralized broadcast router and embedded into the HD-SDI stream." - https://lnkd.in/eRj5GJCE , Bag End Press
"In the second half of 2014, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of the eight conference rooms including the United General Assembly Hall in the second phase of the United Nations Headquarters Project was installed and put into use. So far, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of 18 conference halls (rooms) of the United Nations Headquarters project, including the United General Assembly Hall and the Security Council Conference Hall, has been installed and put into use.

The continuous, low-volume sound enables people to hear a clear direct sound in every position of the venue, and it is not easy to produce a howling sound. When using headphones to listen to the simultaneous interpretation, the original sound will not affect the simultaneous interpretation voice, and it will be difficult to hear.
