Yamaha Commercial Audio hosts first Symposium in Milan

On 1st-2nd October Yamaha Commercial Audio hosted its first Symposium, in Milan. Titled ‘High Quality Sound in Architectural Applications’, the Symposium attracted over 70 systems integrators, theatre consultants and IT/AV consultants from 15 European countries. It combined keynote presentations from audio industry figures with visits to three Milan installations which rely on Yamaha Commercial Audio products.

Hosted in the Milano Congressi Exhibition Centre (MiCo), the keynotes covered a range of topics relevant to installed sound design. These included: ‘High Quality Architecture’, presented by Milan architect Professor Stefano Boeri; ‘Sound Quality in Audio Systems’, by Yamaha Music Europe’s Ron Bakker; ‘High Quality Architectural Sound for Large Audiences’, by François Deffarges, director of Nexo R&D since 2003; ‘High Quality Performance Audio Systems and EN54’, by Roland Hemming of RH Consulting, London; and ‘The Networked Future - An Underused Resource Just Waiting For Adoption’, by Richard Northwood of RH Consulting.

Following the keynotes, the delegates were taken on a tour of MiCo, Europe's largest congress centre whose entire audio signal infrastructure was upgraded in 2014 with a Yamaha-based networked solution. This features 28 QL1, one CL5 and one M7CL digital mixing consoles, 28 Rio1608-D and two Rio3224-D i/o units.

The next day delegates visited Expo Milano 2015, where extensive use is made of Yamaha loudspeakers and audio networking in the Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Japan and Romania pavilions, as well as in the showroom sponsored by energy company Enel and performance/conference venue The Waterstone by Intesa Sanpaolo.

The delegates were then taken to visit UniCredit Towers. The complex of three buildings in the new Milanese area of Porta Nuova features 187 Yamaha loudspeakers and 34 AV receivers to deliver the audio for 200 Samsung digital signage screens. Further Yamaha equipment is installed in the complex’s Boardroom and Tower Hall auditorium. Also featuring Yamaha equipment is the adjacent UniCredit Pavilion, a multipurpose venue fitted with 214 CIS loudspeakers.
