La Gaite Lyrique, Paris - More than 360 x roof loudspeakers, all EtherSound connected and individually adressable

Situated in the heart of Paris, La Gaite Lyrique began in 1862 as a theater.
Inaugurated in March 2011 in its new format, La Gaite Lyrique is now a creation and resources center dedicated to digital medias and arts, and to modern music creations.
Completly reformed and reinvented, la Gaite Lyrique now offers various creation rooms, concert halls and resources centers.

La Gaite Lyrique 2.0 - Architecture: Manuelle Gautrand

In close collaboration with the audiovisual designer (Labeyrie), the choice has been made to have a completely digitally networked creation tool in all spaces of the building (including halls), and thus providing artists with an unique creation tool: all loudspeakers in all levels of the building are connected and indiviudually adressable, through EtherSound
AuviTran AVP4-ES100 digital EtherSound roof amplifiers (4x10W) have been widely  used to provide these unique features.
