Case Studies

Selected work, told discreetly

Three engagements, anonymised at the venues' request. Names, exact locations and measured figures are withheld; what remains is the shape of each problem and how it was approached.

Château estate

Region: Provence
Type: Château & formal gardens

Challenge

Evening reception on an open terrace, with the nearest dwelling just beyond the estate wall.

Approach

Boundary and background measurements, review of the existing PA deployment, and a noise-management plan agreed with the venue team.

Outcome

Re-oriented loudspeaker placement, zoned level limits and a limiter set to the measured boundary criteria. The venue retained its terrace offer with a documented management regime.

Converted stone barn

Region: Loire Valley
Type: Converted barn, 140 guests

Challenge

Low-frequency energy escaping through large door openings and lightweight roof sections during late-night sets.

Approach

Internal reverberation measurement, transmission assessment across the envelope, and prioritised isolation and treatment measures.

Outcome

Targeted treatment, door-line management and a calibrated limiter curve. Indoor events could continue with materially reduced low-frequency spill.

Vineyard domaine

Region: Occitanie
Type: Vineyard & courtyard

Challenge

Preparing an EINS alongside a multi-space operation: courtyard ceremony, courtyard dinner and a cellar after-party.

Approach

Study of the three operational configurations, receiver mapping around the parcel, and level-time schedules for each zone.

Outcome

A zone-by-zone operating schedule adopted by the venue, with the study documentation reflecting how events actually run across the property.
