Meta-Tech delivers intuitive Milan-AVB networked system featuring A10i and X Series speakers, enabling seamless transitions from daily assemblies to full-scale theatrical productions<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

MANILA, Philippines \u2013 January 2026<\/strong> \u2013 International School Manila (ISM), established in 1920 as the oldest international school in Manila and the first in Asia to offer the IB Diploma program, has transformed its 920-seat Fine Arts Theater with an L-Acoustics A Series professional sound system. The upgrade addresses a critical challenge for educational performance venues: delivering professional-level audio quality for theatrical productions while remaining intuitive enough for daily school operations and student use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly renovated theatre serves as the centrepiece of ISM’s performing arts program, hosting everything from morning assemblies and student recitals to full-scale musicals and concerts. For the school, the audio system needed to support both the technical demands of professional-level productions and the practical reality of being operated by students and staff with varying technical backgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A10i Delivers Professional Performance for Educational Programming<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Singapore-based project consultants Alpha Acoustics Engineering, Meta-Tech, L-Acoustics Certified Partner in the Philippines, led the system design and installation. The team selected the A Series for its exceptional vocal clarity and versatility, essential attributes for a venue where spoken presentations are as important as musical performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damien Juhasz, Consultant Liaison and Application Manager at L-Acoustics, developed a detailed CAD model of the venue during the design process, then finalized the A Series system design using Soundvision to ensure optimal and uniform sound coverage throughout the theater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installed system features four L-Acoustics A10i Focus<\/a> and one A10i Wide<\/a> per side as the main left-right arrays, with one A10i Focus and one A10i Wide flown centre as centre-fill. Two hangs of three KS21i<\/a> subwoofers deliver low-frequency reinforcement throughout the theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out-fill is provided by a pair of L-Acoustics X8i<\/a> boxes rigged on each side of the stage, extending clarity to the side sections of the theater. A pair each of X6i<\/a> and X8i speakers provide under-balcony fill to cover all the theater’s first-floor seats. On stage, performers receive accurate foldback from four X12<\/a> stage monitors. Main and fill systems are driven by LA7.16i<\/a> amplified controllers, while LA4X<\/a> controllers support the stage monitors, together offering flexible DSP, control, and amplification through the Milan-AVB network protocol with AES-EBU redundancy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership Enables Tight Timeline and Comprehensive Training<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation of the audio system commenced in June 2025, with full calibration and commissioning completed by Jufri Price, Application Engineer at L-Acoustics at the end of July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a breeze to work with Meta-Tech, with an open, two-way communication channel,” says Denis Lagdameo, Theatre Technical Advisor at ISM. “Implementing upgrade projects in the school usually means working in a very short window in the school’s schedule, but we were able to complete the system installation as planned. Meta-Tech’s responsiveness and adaptability made the difference, amidst our busy school program and activity schedules.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding that educational venues require systems operable by users with varying technical backgrounds, Price provided comprehensive system orientation during calibration and handover, while Meta-Tech conducted multiple training sessions on proper use, management, and maintenance of the sound system. Meta-Tech continues to provide ongoing technical support to build confidence among the school’s technical staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educational Impact Extends Beyond Technical Performance<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students, the audio upgrade creates learning conditions that mirror a professional theatre environment. Student actors, musicians, and technical crew now work with a professional audio system, gaining hands-on experience that prepares them for future careers in performing arts and production industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For audiences \u2013 parents, faculty, and visiting guests \u2013 the difference is immediately apparent. Lagdameo describes the transformation: “The first time we used the system, everybody was floored. Many people, especially those in upper management, were pleased with the setup and overall outcome.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
