Brock Adamson took his time before choosing VGt. And he was right to do so. This new system was deployed by MPM for the Eddy de Pretto tour. We met with the technical team and DV2 at the Galaxie in Amnéville. And we listened.

Michel Sardou's very last tour, which ended on 29 March 2024 at the Arena de Brest, benefited from the Rouveyrollis & Hauser reference technical team and Panther, the new Meyer Sound system. We listened to the boss's farewell to Bordeaux.

The sold-out tour of Lomepal came to a triumphant culmination at the Accor Arena in Paris, with three exceptional concerts. An immense audience, singing along to the French rapper’s every hit, created such a close bond that the artist was overwhelmed by moments of intense intimacy.

Let's meet the Fabrique Opéra at the Orléan’s Zénith for a performance of La Tosca, spatialized by the FletcherMachine, under the impetus of system engineer Franck Niederoest and the support of Adamson and its French distributor DV2. A grand premiere.

The Théâtre de Paris welcomes The Producers by Mel Brooks directed by Alexis Michalik. In this second part, follow the work of Julius Tessarech and Xavier Marchand, the audio supervisors of this highly successful musical.

As the cherry on the cake, Christian Heil granted us an interview. We reviewed the essence of the L-ISA project, the IT tools needed to implement it and, finally, his vision of modern amplified sound. More than exciting... Essential.

Present at the Pierre Mauroy stadium – and as sought after as Christian Heil – was Guillaume le Nost, the development manager of L-ISA, who answered our questions as well as he possibly could – not that he doesn't know, but that he knows too much... far too much. The continuation of our triple report on the L/R-killer – episode 2 is here.

L-ISA, Immersive Sound Art, is Christian Heil's latest sonic undertaking, with which he intends to restore the link between the artist and amplified sound. In this three-part report we discover the innovation of L-ISA and its great potential.

London 11:00 AM. I'm about to discover The Encounter and get a look behind the scenes at this unique opus in one of the most iconic theaters in the British capital, the Barbican. The press is unanimous: it is as disconcerting as it is captivating, and the 600 headphones that act as the sound system are the proof of that. We have an appointment with Gareth Fry and Peter Malkin, the two sound designers of this work, and with the ASD – Association of Sound Designers.

Capping off a long and popular European tour that started in 2012 at the Bataclan, Michaël Gregorio returns to Paris to play his show at the Olympia for 16 dates, rich with color and music! It is no less than 40 concerts for the price of one, as the impersonator takes us, with his group of musicians, on a tour from Shakira, to Jacques Brel, to Dépêche Mode to U2, before an enchanted audience.

The Electric Zoo Festival is, by far, the largest Electronic Dance Music event in New York City, with 190 international artists from the global electronic music scene performing over 3 days (and into the night) on 5 stages for 150,000 enthusiastic attendees. 2013 marks the fifth year for Electric Zoo. With each successive iteration, Production Designer Jonathan Goldstein has pushed the edge of the envelope for technological originality – with more stages and more fabulous visual environments.

And we thought TV was going to be mad at music forever. Apparently this is not the case and the insolent success of the show The Voice, properly nourished with powdered Star Academy and Nouvelle Star porridge, is the living proof of that. With the help of television magic, eight up-and-coming artists groove this summer throughout France in The Voice Tour 2012, cheered by an audience as young as it is enthusiastic and accompanied by a very solid group, effective lights and five top dogs on sound. SLU attended one of the first dates in Bordeaux.

Dracula opts for simplicity despite the modern and smart infrastructure, delivering clear vocals and concert sensations at a reasonable SPL. You will think this is normal, when the show's producer is called Thierry Suc and that one Stéph Plisson is also involved, happy as a trumpet fish in a bath of sound.

Giving humanity a second chance to live in harmony as a bro- therhood and with respect for nature, it is an opportunity for Pascal Obispo to describe our world of contrasts and to convey a very rich musical and choreographic content, blending rock, pop and electronic music with his musical comedy. Will the love of the rich blond golden boy Adam for the pretty poor mixed-race Eve save the world? In any case, these two, each with their clan, almost continuously attract 25 performers on stage, including singers, dancers and even acrobats. One can imagine the diffi- culty for the lighting designer Dimitri Vassiliu, in showing off this small world in the stage setting.
