Powersoft amplifiers drive all-Italian sound system at Expo 2020’s Italy Pavilion

Twenty-five Powersoft amplifiers are handling the audio demands of the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 world fair in Dubai. Over 28,000 people a day are expected to visit the Italy Pavilion, which centres on a 3D-printed, 1:1-scale reproduction of Michelangelo’s David, created in Powersoft’s home city of Florence, over the next six months.

Powering the audio system are 25 Powersoft amplifiers supplied by Pro Lab, the company’s exclusive distributor in the GCC countries and Lebanon, and installed by local systems integrator Sibca. Two of the five Quattrocanali 2404 DSP+D amplifiers are used in the main auditorium and restaurant areas, while another three are equipped in the first hull, the white space, and the skywalk (which offers visitors a panoramic view of the pavilion from an 11 m skybridge). Two Quattrocanali 1204 DSP+D, the 2404’s 1,200 W baby brother, are installed in the FS Tunnel, a partnership with FS Italiane (Italian State Railways).

Four Mezzo 322 AD are powering the Belvedere, an area featuring a 360° projection of some of Italy’s most famous landscapes, and another four the Teatro della Memoria, where the 17-foot David replica is installed. A further 322 AD is installed in the VIP lounge. Also from the compact Mezzo family are the two Mezzo 324 AD installed in the cultural space and innovation space, and the two Mezzo 604 AD powering the VIP area and extra VIP space. Five Mezzo 602 AD are driving the VIP meeting room, education lab, head office and cafeteria, as well as joining forces with the Quattrocanali 1204 DSP+D in the FS Tunnel. The Powersoft amplifiers are also powering a range of RCF, K-array and FBT loudspeakers.

In addition to the 25 amplifiers installed at the Italy Pavilion, Powersoft products are powering the Peruvian and Norwegian national pavilions, as well as the Dubai Cares stand and the PPP (Public-Planet-Partnerships) Hub, at Expo 2020. A Powersoft X8 DSP+Dante amplifier, supplied by AVI-SPL, is supplying power for the Firdaus Orchestra, the all-women ensemble led by composer AR Rahman, which will close the expo’s Space Week with their inaugural performance.
