Charged with the installation of a brand-new sound reinforcement system and supported by EVI Audio, the Berlin-based sound and events specialists TSE AG opted for a large Electro-Voice sound reinforcement system and a Dynacord PA.

The result is a complex dispersion pattern that "fits" the audience area, say Duran Audio. DDS
