The Stravinsky Auditorium
Switzerland - The Stravinsky Auditorium is part of the Montreux Convention Centre which sits on the shoreline of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It hosts, amongst a wide range of events, the Montreux Jazz Festival. The key to the appeal of the auditorium is its modularity, enabling it to be adapted for the widest possible range of uses. With a partially modular floor the venue can be configured in classroom, concert and theatre configurations.

The Stravinsky strives to improve and develop its features at every turn and to this end commissioned GDS, through its distributor Swiss Light Consulting, to supply a new lighting system able to specifically adapt to the modularity of the stage area.

During orchestral performances, for example, the depth of the stage and the position of acoustic baffles within the hall changes significantly. The system had to be flexible enough to accommodate these variations in use. The requirement was to significantly improve the brightness of the lighting in the required area under the circumstances described. GDS ArcSystem was deemed ideal for the purpose.

Following close consultation on site with all parties concerned GDS supplied 266 x ArcSystem Decor Fixtures 1 Cell 2700K 27 Degree Recessed Fixed with adjustable brackets and 68 ArcMesh D4 Drivers 80W controlled via 2 ArcMesh Control TX1 Master Transmitters and one ArcMesh Control 8 Button Wireless Control Panel.

GDS created a bespoke wiring loom to enable swift installation of the fixtures. As well as being delighted with the outcome, both the client and the installer were impressed by the short timescale within which GDS were able to respond to their needs.

Alain Suard of Swiss Light Consulting comments, "The final result is fantastic! The brightness achieved is exceptional and the installation was straightforward. GDS put together a large system very quickly indeed, including some bespoke work that saved us even more time. From the initial consultations through to technical assistance with programming the system, the support we received from GDS throughout the project was first-class."
