Audio Technology has delivered a JBL Professional and Crown sound system for the Osama Ben Zaid Mosque in Cairo as part of an extensive audio upgrade. Aligning with Egypt’s commitment to honouring Islamic heritage and enhancing spiritual infrastructure, the mosque upgrade was aimed at ensuring sermons, recitations and prayers reach every corner with clarity and balance.
Situated in New Cairo, the Osama Ben Zaid Mosque sought a multizone system that could handle varying acoustic conditions while preserving the dignity of the space. Taking these considerations into account, Audio Technology installed JBL’s CBT 70J and CBT 100LA-1 loudspeakers in the main sanctuary, with the aim of delivering broad horizontal dispersion and consistent tonality.
The manufacturer’s CBT 50LA-1 speakers were installed in the women’s prayer hall to provide dedicated coverage while ensuring sonic separation from the main hall. Outside, AWC159 loudspeakers support overflow gatherings and seasonal events. The system is powered by Crown XLi and CDi Series amplifiers.
“The goal for this project was to create a sound environment that reflects the dignity of the space,” said Mario G Abadeer, design and presales division head at Audio Technology. “With the JBL CBT and AWC speakers, we achieved intelligibility and coverage across every prayer area, both indoors and outdoors, without disrupting the mosque’s architectural harmony.”
According to the team, since installation worshippers have experienced greater comfort and connection during services, thanks to even SPL and high speech clarity across all zones.
