The Challenge
Complutum requires an audio solution that ensures clarity and proper sound projection during guided tours and cultural events. As an open-air archaeological site, sound naturally disperses, making it difficult for all visitors to hear clearly. Additionally, it is essential that the system blends discreetly into the environment without interfering with the site’s historical and cultural value.
The Solution
To meet these needs, passive speakers are installed in strategic locations to provide uniform sound coverage without distortion or dead zones. Their compact design allows for seamless integration into the surroundings without disrupting the site’s aesthetics. Thanks to their bass-reflex construction, they enhance sound projection, ensuring that the guide’s voice reaches every corner of the site without excessive volume, preserving a natural and balanced audio experience.
