Technical and AV Support for all Departments at the Royal Conservatoire

Please come and visit the Electronics Workshop and find out what we can do for you!

EWP WordPress website no longer updated

Since the move to the new building in Amare we are also re-organizing our digital structure. The colleagues of our Marketing and Communication department introduced the new KonCon portal Sharepoint (portal.koncon.nl), where also the EWP will have its own small domain to share important technical information. Checkout: https://denhaagkabk.sharepoint.com/sites/electronicsworkshopYou will need your xxx@koncon.nl account to acces this site. This means that we will no longer keep this website (https://ewp.koncon.nl) up-to-date. It is too much work to maintain both platforms. We will…

Moved!

In January 2022 all departments of the Royal Conservatoire moved to Amare, including the Electronics WorkShop (EWP). We have a complete new workshop with new wooden tables, toolboxes, new cabinets and a lot of new AV equipment to be installed in various new studios and rehearsing rooms.. We are still unpacking all the components and busy settling in. Our new location in the centre of Den Haag has a new address: Turfhaven 7, 2511 DK Den Haag.The workshop has room…

EWP is Moving!

The Electronics WorkShop is going to move to our new home ‘Amare’. We will transfer from ‘undeground-level’ in the old building to the ‘top-floor’ in the new building. A real UpGrade! We are really looking forward to our new ‘homebase’, but before we can do that we have to do a lot of packing and un-packing. This means that the EWP will not be available for event-support and lending services during the following period: 17 december 2021 – 14 januari…

Electronics website

At the start of this academic year 2020-2021 we launched a new electronics website. https://electronics.koncon.nl On this website we will publish the fundamentals of electronics – all those electronic things that you always wanted to know! 🙂 We will use this online location to support the lessons ‘Introduction to Electronics’, Sensors Actuators and Microcontrollers and Music Technology. Feel free to look around. If you have any questions or suggestions to improve the website, please let us know. https://electronics.koncon.nl

New Lending software

In January we started using new software for lending out our electronic items. It is a ‘library’ cloud-service called Aura library and we slowly get the hang of it. This application makes it easier for us to track the items that are borrowed out and makes the in- and outgoing of items go more smooth. It also supports a mobile app where the users can reserve items and check availability. If we are ready with configuring the mobile app we…

Stream Sets in Use!

Since this week we start with the use of our newly build StreamSets. These sets consist of a big television screen on wheels (Sony KD-43XG7096-4K tv), combined with a good quality camera (Sony FDR-AX43) plus video-microphone, Audient Audio interface, Apple MacMini and a set of Genelec 8020D active audio monitors. This is a powerful combination of high quality Audio and Video and a great setup to create Youtube Streams or Teams meetings with larger groups. More information about the way…

Sonobus

More and more applications can be found to improve the audio quality for music online. Recently our colleagues of the ZHdK pointed out a great new application called “Sonobus”. This free, opensource Mac/Win/iOs application will provide you with a wide range of audio qualities and many powerful features. In some way this application works the same as Jamulus, but in fact the setup is much different – more transparant and more private. First of all this application creates a so…

“Streaming Categories” in the Conservatoire

Fill in the stream request form here! ONLY CATEGORY I & II The last couple of weeks we receive lots of streaming request and we have the impression that the term’ streaming’ is not always clear for everybody. At least, not everybody has an idea of what these request mean “technically speaking”. So let’s try to explain! There are a few different types of streaming that can be realized, so we defined different categories to make the internal communication more…

Jamulus Server Update

The last months the programmers and makers of Jamulus made it again easier to setup your own server. At this point it is nothing more than installing a normal application – start it and the server runs. At this moment they just released version 3.6 (d.d. 28-october-2020). For making the server work properly with the home network settings and the security, you have to make sure the right port are opened within your main router. This is also referred to…
