China - The Guangzhou Xinhai Odeum, a 14,000sq.m facility located on Guangzhou Er Sha Island includes a 1500-seat symphony performance hall, as well as a 460-seat indoor performance hall, complete with a 100-seat AV presentation room. There is also a 4800sq.m music culture section.

EM Acoustics' Chinese distributor Jolly ProAudio was invited to participate in the audio renewal project for the Xinhai Odeum and recommended EM Acoustics loudspeakers from UK to improve the in-house audio reproduction system.

The fourteen-enclosure system, flown from the trusses in the Odeum's ceiling includes EMS-152 15" x 2" and EMS-121 12" x 1" full range enclosures, EMS-81 8" x 1" enclosures and i-2 compact enclosures as fills and a pair of the ultra-compact i-8 subwoofers flown in the roof for low frequency reinforcement.
