The City of Markham main council chambers features an uncompromising custom build using Televic and Sennheiser components; audio quality was paramount.  A Televic 5500 CU along with combo panels for delegates - and modular panels for podium locations, were employed.  Sennheiser MZH 3062-L and MZH 3042-L goose-neck microphones were used.  The Televic panels were modified to accommodate the goose-neck microphones and ensure that the light-ring functioned as per standard conference system operation.  The system was completely Crestron controlled (Crestron programming provided by the system integrator.)

A secondary conference chamber (Canada Room) required the use of wireless technologies and used a WICOS conference system.

Rob provided various conference system design drawings as part of the tender process and technical support throughout the design and build stages...
