[ATTACH=CONFIG]200638.vB5-legacyid=12560[/ATTACH]Nürtingen, Germany, 2 June 2015 – Fohhn Audio has supplied an extensive range of loudspeaker systems for installation in the German, United Arab Emirates and Kazakhstan pavilions at EXPO 2015 in Milan. The Nürtingen-based manufacturer is no stranger to this universal exposition, having previously provided loudspeaker systems for the German, Swiss and China State Grid pavilions at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai.
The theme of EXPO 2015, which opened on May 1st, is “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. 140 countries and a number of international organisations are taking part. More than 20 million people are expected to visit the 1.1 million square metre exhibition site before the Expo closes on 31st October.
Music & Light Design GmbH, Leonberg, has installed around 80 compact Fohhn loudspeakers in Germany’s “Fields of Ideas” pavilion, which portrays the country’s distinctive field and meadow landscapes in its architecture. Linea-Series AL-10, LX-11 and LX-10 nearfield speakers are supplemented by Fohhn subwoofers and Linea Focus LFI-120 line array systems with beam steering.
Kazakhstan’s “Land of Opportunities” pavilion, equipped by Bluenoise GmbH of Hamburg and SkySkan Europe, includes an IOSONO 3D sound system featuring an Iosono Core Audio Processor, 45 CLT-201 customised Top Surround speakers and four AS-40 high powered subwoofers, as well as 13 D-4.750 and D-4.1200 Class D digital amplifiers. The 3D sound system offers a spectacular three-dimensional audio experience where the listener is placed at the heart of the sound image and the seats on the platform move according to the film and the sound. The other parts of the pavilion have also been equipped with Fohhn speaker systems like Linea LX-601 and LX-11, speakers of the Linea AL- and ARC-Series as well as monitors and amplifiers. The 2,369 square metre pavilion introduces visitors to the country’s endeavours in protecting natural and agricultural resources and cultivating sustainable development.
Fohhn’s LX-11 systems also feature in the United Arab Emirates’ pavilion, alongside other popular Linea-Series loudspeakers including the powerful LX-601 and new LX-60 line source systems. Additional sound reinforcement is provided by Fohhn ceiling speakers and Arc-Series AT-40 2-way loudspeakers. The systems are driven by twenty of Fohhn’s 2-channel and 4-channel Class D digital amplifiers. All amplifier models feature integral Fohhn DSPs and can be remotely controlled. The pavilion, whose theme is “Food for Thought – Shaping and Sharing the Future”, showcases some of UAE’s innovative solutions for dealing with the challenges that arise in feeding the planet.
