The Museum of Polish History is a cultural beacon located in the very heart of Warsaw, serving both as a museum and a national cultural institute. With a focus on Polish traditions of freedom and independence, the museum positions itself not just as a place of learning and remembrance, but also as a space that is home to concerts, conferences, lectures, and more.
Undergoing an overhaul of its auditoriums and meeting spaces, the Museum of Polish History required an AV system that fit the fabled ‘one-size-fits-all’ requirement to cater for spoken word lectures, classical orchestras in concerts, and meetings in its modern conference spaces.
To achieve this, the museum required a system that could meet its existing needs but also be ready for changing requirements in the future. To this end, the museum brought ESS Audio on board to specify and deliver a truly futureproofed system. These spaces were created from the ground up, housed within a brand-new purpose-built building at the museum to meet this cultural hub’s growing needs.
ESS Audio supplied Barco SP4K-55 cinema projectors, supported by Dolby CP950 cinema processors. The space is completely integrated with control and distribution systems from an AMX DGX HDBaseT matrix.
“It’s not common to use a 64×64 matrix when we have AVoIP, but the client requested that we deploy an HDBaseT system which is more point-to-point, reliable, and uncompressed. If we’re using the cinema system, it’s something that we can deliver uncompressed by using DGX. We connected the entire venue with this matrix,” explained ESS Audio’s technical sales manager, Adam Pieron.
