The Shri Gorakhnath Mandir also known as Gorakhnath Temple is a temple of the Nath monastic order group of the Nath tradition. Located in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, the temple with large premises plays a cultural hub of the city, besides its spiritual programmes all through the year for which it required a decent sound reinforcement. The initiative was recently fulfilled by roping in Beta 3 Audio systems.
……………………………………………………………………………..
The name Gorakhnath derives from the medieval saint, Gorakshanath (c. 11th century CE), a yogi who travelled widely across India and authored a number of texts that form a part of the canon of Nath Sampradaya.
Attracting devotees from all across the country to seek the blessings of Sant Gorakshanath; the temple plays host to several forms of devotional and spiritual activities like meditations, chanting. Satsangs etc – all of which are hosted within the plush outdoor courtyard section of the premises, which features a step-style amphitheater seating for devotees to congregate comfortably, in addition to a lavish stage to host the various devotional experiences.
And it is in precisely this section where you’d notice that the Shree Gorakhnath Temple has set a new benchmark of sorts within the realm of professional audio as well; by embracing cutting-edge technology to enhance the spiritual experience of its devotees.
To ensure crystal-clear sound projection and seamless audio coverage, two units of the compact yet extremely powerful Beta3 TLA121F line array modules are paired with matching subwoofers on either side of the stage to serve as the primary Front-of-House (FOH) solution – with the sheer performance presence of the system ensuring that every spoken word, musical note, and divine chant resonates with pristine clarity.
A consistent audio experience across the entire expanse of the outdoor courtyard section is further reinforced, as the temple compound walls adjacent to the courtyard have been outfitted with multiple units of the Beta3 the N10TF – 10″ two-way full-range plastic body waterproof speakers. These strategically placed loudspeakers act as the fill reinforcement solution, delivering a uniform sound experience to every corner of the temple. Whether a devotee is sitting closer to the stage or in the outer perimeters, the Beta3 N10F loudspeakers provide an immersive audio experience, ensuring that no spiritual discourse or devotional music goes unnoticed.
A key point to be noted is the fact that design and integration team recognized the outdoor nature of the courtyard and the imminent possibility of varying weather conditions, and subsequently implemented TLA121F line array system and N10F reinforcement speaker system after strategic deliberation, mainly because these technologies also hold the capacity to withstand the elements without compromising on performance. The weatherproof design ensures that the equipment remains reliable and functional, even in challenging situations, allowing the temple to provide uninterrupted spiritual experiences to its devotees.
Beta3’s loudspeakers at the Shree Gorakhnath Temple are driven by the powerful DT series class-D amplifiers, that have been tuned to specifically meet the requirements of the venue. These amplifiers offer a comprehensive interface and simplified control functions, allowing easy adjustments and fine-tuning of the audio system while seamlessly integrating with the TLA series line array system and N series speakers, thereby ensuring optimal performance and reliability. More importantly, not only do these amplifiers not only provide ample power to drive the line arrays and loudspeakers but also ensure efficient energy consumption, reducing the temple’s overall carbon footprint.
“Beta3’s commitment to delivering exceptional audio solutions is very evident in their choice of high-performance products and technologies that’s been installed at Shree Gorakhnath Temple,” A member of the temple’s administration observed. “Several devotees have lauded the high-quality, uninterrupted and immersive experience that they’ve enjoyed; and there’s no doubt that this has set a remarkable standard for houses of worship all across the country!”
