Design and solution
Our team of acoustic engineers proposed a lightweight 36x panel Zone Array Directional Speaker system, specifically designed to meet the weight loading capacity of the structure. Traditional fixing options weren’t available, but luckily our extensive design work with Tentipi means we already had a suspension solution at hand.
We designed a bespoke khaki aluminium frame, with a steel rigging rose, suspended from the centre of the tipis structural poles. From the rigging rose, our engineers attach steel wire down to loading points within the frame. Adjustable wire eyelets are then used to balance the system’s weight, allowing it to float within the structure and maintaining the tipis aesthetics. To finish it off we proposed a khaki finish to each Zone Array panel to complement the Kata Tipi canvas.
