Renault Installs Allen & Heath GL3300 Console and iDR DSP System

Paris, France (July 25, 2005) -- French car manufacturer, Renault, has opened a new communications and presentation facility at its main plant in Flins, near Paris, installing Allen & Heath products, including a GL3300 and an iDR system, to manage the audio requirements.

The new site houses a 350-capacity theatre and 1200 sq. m. dining/entertainment area, which will be used to launch new vehicles to the Press and VIP's, and also as a meeting space for the company's distributors and employees.

The sound system was installed by Bordeaux-based IEC-ASV and includes a 32-channel GL3300 multi-purpose live sound console for mixing live events, and an iDR-8 digital mixing processor and iDR-out expansion unit for audio distribution around the venue. Turbosound speakers are fitted throughout the venue.

The entertainment area and theatre are separated by a stage, and a partition wall enables either side to be closed off, depending on the occasion. The iDR is programmed so that when the partition wall is closed, two separate sound systems with new audio settings, including system EQ, time alignment, crossover functions and output limiting are automatically activated.

For further information on the entire range of Allen & Heath mixing products please visit the company's web site at www.allen-heath.com.

Established for 35 years, Allen & Heath designs and manufactures professional audio mixing consoles for an international clientele in the live sound, installed systems and nightclub markets. Established in 2002, Allen & Heath USA has been set up by American Music & Sound (AM&S) to provide U.S. distribution for the British audio mixing products manufacturer.
