Devices / Immersive installations

A room, and an installation designed for it: multi-speaker systems or interactive 3D audio headphones place visitors at the heart of the story, and the space becomes their score.

Spaces
Exhibition space, heritage site, dedicated room
Playback
Distributed speakers or interactive headsets
Listening
Collective or individual, depending on the type of installation
Pacing
At the pace of the piece or of the visitor

What an installation changes.

The space invites exploration.

Sound guides footsteps and gaze: every corner of the space becomes a step in the narrative.

Listening becomes shared.

Synchronized speakers or headphones: everyone experiences the same moment and can share it with others.

Technology steps aside.

Sound, equipment, triggering: the technology is there, but it fades into the background behind the experience.

Two ways to deliver sound.

The choice — or combination — depends on the venue, the number of visitors, and the desired experience. We design it together, from the very first meetings.

Constellation of speakers

Sound unfolds throughout the entire space through speakers distributed around visitors. They move freely at the heart of the sound scene.

  • A collective experience, ideal for groups
  • From just four speakers, with no extra rigging
  • A sound that inhabits the physical space

Interactive 3D audio headphones

Sound adapts to the visitor's position and gaze. Sources remain anchored in space as they explore the venue.

  • Individual listening that can be synchronised for groups
  • A limitless soundstage, extending even beyond the walls
  • A soundscape with no limits, beyond even the walls

Best experienced with headphones

Sound all around you.

In an installation, every sound has its place: all around, above, below, up close or in the distance. Play the sound and follow it with your ears as it moves around your head.

What we can create.

01

A sound reconstruction

A place that sounds as it once did: a workshop, a banquet, a church service, a battle.

02

A permanent ambience

A subtle soundscape that accompanies the visit and renews the perception of the space.

03

A scheduled performance

A few-minute session, at a fixed time, that gathers visitors around a narrative.

04

An interactive installation

Sound responds to the presence of visitors, to every step and every glance.

05

A touring installation

A demountable installation, designed to travel from one venue to another.

From the room to the sound experience.

  1. Venue analysis

    Acoustic surveys, visitor flow, technical and heritage constraints.

  2. Spatial composition

    The sound scene is written for the space: each sound is assigned a place and a trajectory.

  3. Installation and setup

    Equipment installation, on-site calibration, listening tests with your teams.

  4. Operation

    Team training, remote monitoring, ongoing maintenance.

Typical technical specifications.

PlaybackDiscreet speakers distributed throughout the space, interactive 3D audio headsets, or both
ControlScheduled playback, or triggered by visitor presence
IntegrationDiscreet equipment, integrated into the scenography in keeping with the venue
OperationScheduled start and stop; for headsets, simple distribution and recharging
AccessibilityTranscriptions, subtitles or vibrating devices, depending on the audiences welcomed
MaintenanceRemote monitoring and ongoing maintenance, depending on the chosen support plan

Our approach

A successful installation isn't seen. It's heard.

Your questions, our answers.

Not necessarily: part of a space may be enough. A site survey helps us choose the right playback set-up.

We always aim to integrate it discreetly, in line with your heritage and scenographic constraints.

With speakers, the entire group shares the experience; with headsets, it depends on the number of devices available.

The acoustic study takes this into account: levels, speaker orientation and, if needed, headsets rather than speakers.

Yes: new sequences, new languages or a temporary version can be added after opening.

We offer post-installation support: supervision, on-site intervention and updates.
