Digitally controllable line array speakers from the Pan Beam series were the solution for the sound reinforcement in the entrance building and visitor center of the Museumsinsel Berlin, which is designed with many glass and concrete elements. This is a treat for the eye from an architectural point of view, but quite challenging for the room acoustics.

Above to the great sound, suited not only for voice announcements but also for music reproduction, the architects from David Chipperfield Architects were particularly impressed by the slim and unobtrusive design of the line array. The geometric shape, the filigree manufacture and the color of the loudspeakers, which matches the furnishings, blend harmoniously into the James Simon Gallery. The speakers were also integrated into the voice alarm system without any problems.

The French scholarly society "Académie française" is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the intellectual and cultural life of France. Officially founded in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, the Académie française's mission is to unify and cultivate the French language.

The society has 40 members, known as the Immortals, who are elected for life. The Academy meets in Paris at the Collège des Quatre-Nations, the "College of the Four Nations," and is now one of five academies of the Institute de France. There are currently 150 full members, 300 corresponding members and 120 foreign associates.

To ensure an excellent level of speech intelligibility and powerful music reproduction, an installation of line source speakers from the Pan Beam series was chosen in the academy, which also blend perfectly into the rooms.
