ALLEN & HEATH INSTALLED IN NEW RENAULT CORPORATE FACILITY

French car manufacturer, Renault, has opened a new communications and presentation facility at its main plant in Flins, near Paris, installing Allen & Heath products to manage the audio requirements.

The new site houses a 350-capacity theatre and 1200m2 dining/entertainment area, which will be used to launch new vehicles to the Press and VIP’s, and also as a meeting space for the company’s distributors and employees.

The sound system was installed by Bordeaux-based IEC-ASV and includes a 32-channel GL3300 multi-purpose live sound console for mixing live events, and an iDR-8 digital mixing processor and iDR-out expansion unit for audio distribution around the venue. Turbosound speakers are fitted throughout the venue.

The entertainment area and theatre are separated by a stage, and a partition wall enables either side to be closed off, depending on the occasion. The iDR is programmed so that when the partition wall is closed, two separate sound systems with new audio settings, including system EQ, time-alignment, cross-over functions and output limiting are automatically activated.
