Under the immersive audio's latest, more than 300 professionals from 40 countries have recently participated in Prague (Czech Republic) in the System Designers Conference (DSC), Systems Designers Conference, organized by Yamaha.

Although we tend to think about the immersive audio As a modern concept, any space with four walls, roof and soil produces an immersive sound. This made Prague an appropriate place, since the long history of the city of opera and classical music has seen many places built with acoustics in mind. It was in the most recent of them, the O2 Universum, inaugurated just six weeks before, where the conference took place.

With a wide range of conferences facilities and a 4,500 seats, the O2 Universum was the perfect place to install demonstration envelope sound systems both in the largest conference room and in the stadium, as well as to compare them with a large format linear arrangement system Nexo L-R Fly in the stadium.

The 2019 DSC presented a wide range of presentations and demonstrations. Among them, the Prague Music String Quartet demonstrated the benefits of improving the acoustic room using the AFC4 Field Active Control System From Yamaha, followed by a stuffed chicken that is sent flying through the room and its cacaceo followed by the AFC4 system.

In other sessions, the AFC4 system was used to demonstrate how stage monitoring increases the experience of live theater and music, as well as how regenerative audio systems can be used to improve the atmosphere in sports venues.

A recital of the Prague Music Strings Quartet in the Sladkovsky Room followed him a lively dinner.
