The theme of Expo 2015, which opened on 1 May, is Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. One hundred and forty countries and a number of international organisations are taking part. More than 20 million people are expected to visit the 1.1 million sq.m exhibition site before the Expo closes on 31 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.
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 20 of Fohhn's 2-channel and four-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.
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 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 2,369sq.m pavilion introduces visitors to the country's endeavours in protecting natural and agricultural resources and cultivating sustainable development.
