Sweden - For nearly 140 years, Nalen has been hosting the performances that shaped Swedish culture – from the artists who graced its stage in the 1950s and 60s, to the diverse roster of contemporary acts that keep its calendar packed with over 100 concerts and events annually.

The 19th-century Stockholm concert hall's architectural constraints – strict weight limits, sightline restrictions, and a protected building status – meant that the aging sound system needed replacing with something both powerful and ingenious.

Working with consultant Fredrik Martinsson of Comet Audio, Nalen assessed these challenges and identified the requirements for a premium solution. Several integrators were asked to propose systems. JLE Audio AB, an L-Acoustics certified provider with over 20 years of experience with the brand, was selected based on the strength of

USA - St. Bartholomew’s Church in New York City required a new sound system that could meet modern performance standards without compromising its architectural beauty. To achieve this balance, the church worked with manufacturer’s representative AudioPros, design consultant Salas O’Brien and AV integrator IVCi to deploy an audio system using EAW AC6 ADAPTive column loudspeakers.

“For this project there was only one option that met the needs of what the leadership at St. Bartholomew’s was looking for,” says Andrew Shillo, principal at AudioPros, EAW’s regional sales representative. “EAW’s ADAPTive system was the best solution because it not only provided quality sound coverage, but was architecturally pleasing without disturbing the historical nature of the space.”

The church’s design made for a challenging acoustic environment.

UK - Established in 1969, Coton Green Community Church serves the communities of Tamworth and Lichfield in Staffordshire from its purpose-built centre located between the two towns. Opened in 1992, The Coton Centre offers a range of flexible spaces designed to meet the needs of both the church and the wider community, centred around a 650-seat auditorium.

When the time came to upgrade the main auditorium’s sound system, the church consulted several companies before choosing Novum Live.

To design the system, Novum Live relied on OpenArray, Outline’s 3D acoustic simulation software. The team modelled the auditorium and positioned Outline loudspeakers virtually to evaluate coverage, SPL, and uniformity across the entire space.

“During the modelling process, it became clear that several configurations could technically work,” explains Tim

Serbia - Zvezdara Theatre in downtown Belgrade is the first theatre in Serbia to take delivery of Robe lights since Light and Sound Design (LSD) took on distributorship of the brand in late 2023.

The 300-capacity space is now the owner of four Robe LEDBeam 350 moving lights and four T11 Profiles, taking the concept of ‘small is beautiful’ to heart in the process of producing great theatre.

Belgium - The 2,150-seat Henry Le Bœuf Hall at Brussels' Palais des Beaux-Arts –  known by locals as Bozar – now boasts its first ever permanent sound system: a L-Acoustics L-ISA Hyperreal Sound installation featuring the L Series. The inauguration of the new system took place on 2 September, led by Nicolas Bernus, technical production manager at Bozar. On this occasion, Syla and the Belgian National Orchestra performed, with both specialised and general press in attendance.

For decades, amplified performances in the iconic hall relied on rented systems that could never quite match the venue's artistic ambitions. Now, with artists like Sigur Rós, Bob Dylan, Kae Tempest, and Zaho de Sagazan playing its stage this autumn, Bozar has equipped itself with technology that matches its status.

France - Known as the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean due to the basalt rock it is built on, Agde is one of the oldest cities in France.

In October 2025, residents celebrated a new development in their community with the inauguration of the Palais des Festivités, a modern and versatile facility designed to host a wide variety of arts, community, and festive events.

Replacing the city’s old festival hall, demolished as part of a wider redevelopment of the area, the main hall at the new venue has a seating capacity of 600 and can accommodate up to 2.5 times that number standing. It features acoustics designed for artistic performances and modular spaces, enabling it to adapt easily to the needs of each event.

Romania - The Cocor Shopping Centre in Bucharest has unveiled a major upgrade to its massive digital signage display. The installation, a well-known feature of the city's urban landscape, has been revitalised with LED technology from Absen.

This landmark project was executed by local AV integration firm, Eltek. The project has transformed the facade, upgrading its visual performance, energy efficiency, and operational reliability to meet modern standards of performance.

For years, the Cocor’s LED system, based on older technology, had become difficult and expensive to maintain. The system's high energy consumption and frequent technical issues made it inefficient and unable to support modern visual digital campaigns. Additionally, the outdated content management system lacked modern automation features, further limiting its capabilities.

Australia - The Chandler Theatre, originally constructed for the 1982 Commonwealth Games, has long served as one of Brisbane’s most versatile performance spaces. With its original loudspeaker system reaching the end of life, the 1,500-seat venue required a modern upgrade capable of handling a wide range of programming, from school productions and orchestral concerts to national touring acts.

After a competitive design process, a new sound system based on JBL Professional’s VTX A6 subcompact line array was installed by High Noon Stage Productions, with system consultation by XConnect Professional Services and support from Australian distributor MadisonAV. The result is a powerful yet discreet audio solution that balances performance with architectural and operational requirements.

Germany - One of the country's most acoustically revered concert halls has been transformed. Originally built in 1926 as a planetarium, Tonhalle Düsseldorf was converted into a concert hall during the 1970s and has since earned worldwide recognition for its exceptional natural acoustics.

Today, the venue serves as home to the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra while hosting an eclectic mix of classical, rock, pop, comedy and cabaret performances. But when the hall's aging sound system began experiencing critical failures, Tonhalle faced the urgent challenge of installing an audio system worthy of a venue approaching its centennial without compromising its acoustic integrity. 

The solution came through a competitive EU-wide public tender won by integrator Thomann Audio Professional. Following a system design developed by consultancy firm Bühnenplanung
