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.

Audiovisual design: Labeyrie & associés (www.labeyrie.net)
Integrator: IEC Paris
Products involved for the sonorization of all halls of the creation center:
93 x AuviTran AVP4-ES100 EtherSound connnected amplifiers (4x10W), connected to
360 x roof loudspeakers
In complement, Amadeus active loudspeakers and subwoofers directly connected to the EtherSound (20 x Sub ML12-ES and 4 x PM5-ES)
2 x AV3rd-ES100 for multidiffusion to EtherSound from PC (with Abbleton Live software)
1 x Innovason Eclipse console for routing matrix

Other Innovason consoles and Amadeus loudspeakers are used in the main concert hall

Stadium of Tanger (Morrocco): an other AuviTran-Nexo stadium success story

The brand new stadium of Tanger (Morrocco), is another example of collaboration between AuviTran and Nexo teams.
Inaugurated in 2011, it has a gauge of 45 000 spectators (possibility to extend to 65 000).
SGM (Scène du Grand Maghreb) successfully projected and installed the audio system for this new stadium: line array system for both sound reinforcement and emergency in the arena.

Integrator: SGM , Morrocco
Products involved: 
Nexo GEOS line array clusters for sound reinforcement, with GEOS 1230 speakers
14 x Nexo NXamp amplifiers (with 2 of them for backup in securitty context), directly connected to EtherSound with NXES104 cards
Yamaha LS9 console and DME24, connected to EtherSound via AuviTran AVY16-ES100 cards
3 x pairs of AuviTran AVRed-ES100/Fo for EtherSound transport through redundant optical fiber optics to deported racks (East, North and South)
4 x AuviTran AVNF49-ES for real time supervision of EtherSound connected devices
Link to ATEIS matrices for audio security in adjacent rooms

Stadium of Tanger: a brand new stadium

Nexo and AuviTran - the perfect combination for stadium applications

Audio system description

• Line array system for both sound reinforcement and voice emergency in the arena
• All devices are connected through EtherSound, allowing real time monitoring of all connected devices, and action in case of failure

The architecture of the system is described in details  in the following diagrams:

Main architecture advantages:

• excellent audio comfort  and excellent speech intelligibility for all spectators
• real time supervision and conformity to security standards
• ease of cabling
