V-Dosc: 5.1 surround for French Culture

China - Renowned French musician Jean-Michel Jarre performed a unique concert on 10 October, celebrating the opening of the French Culture Year in China, within Beijing's Forbidden City, using state-of-the-art sound and vision technology. For the first time in live application ever, the show was performed in Dolby Digital 5.1, providing a great enhancement to the sonic environment. The 15,000-strong seated audience was divided into six zones, each with it's own 5.1 system, comprising six V-Dosc, 18 dV-Dosc, six dV-SUB and four SB218 subs. Lab Co, L-Acoustics' V-Dosc Partner for China, worked in collaboration with Arpège, French V-Dosc Partner, to provide the turnkey V-Dosc system for the show.

The China-France Culture Year is an important event with regard to the exchange between the two nations, and is of great significance towards increasing the mutual understanding and awareness of their respective peoples by promoting a very broad exchange between the Oriental and Western civilizations.
