Sound system in Al-Hijra mosque

Clear words up to the last corner

As part of the new construction of the Al Hijra Muslim community in Leiden, Netherlands, the sound system was upgraded. The challenge was to produce a consistently high-quality sound throughout the mosque: both in the large prayer area for the men - regardless of whether they pray standing or kneeling - and in the gallery which is the prayer area for the women. It shall also make no difference how far the listeners are being located from the mihrab.

Among other things, the project included two PB 16 line array speakers from the Pan Beam series, which were installed in the 35-meter-deep prayer room to the left and right of the mihrab. Thanks to the Beam Steering technology, the sound distribution can be adjusted via the DSP control built into 1.80 meter long Pan Beam loudspeakers. That way the prayer can be ideally understood at all targeted locations.

In addition, two PB 04 line array loudspeakers were installed in the right and left corners of the room, as well as a white PB 04 inside the mihrab as a monitor loudspeaker for the imam. The prayer area in the gallery is amplified by three PB 04s. Various presets were defined via the Pan Splitter 4/4, a network hub developed and designed by Pan Acoustics, so that each loudspeaker group can be controlled separately as needed.
