Located in Tarbes, in the southwest of France, Audentia is a large-capacity concert hall welcoming more than 2,500 people, a space where energy, volume, and collective emotion converge. Designed to host high-impact live shows and electronic music events, the venue demands a sound system capable not only of delivering power, but of transforming that power into a physical, immersive experience.
The newly completed installation was conceived with this philosophy in mind: a system built to move air, drive the crowd, and remain controlled and intelligible even when pushed hard. The main PA configuration features:
12 VIO L1610 in 5 modules per side & 8 VIO S218 subwoofers.
This setup provides substantial headroom and a solid low-frequency foundation, allowing the system to operate comfortably at high SPL while maintaining definition, punch, and tonal balance across the entire audience area.
To ensure seamless coverage and presence in the front-of-house zone, the system is completed by front fills consisting of: 3 VIO L210
On stage, special attention was given to performer interaction with the sound. The DJ monitoring system, based on 4 VIO L210 and 2 VIO S118R subwoofers, delivers fast transient response, tight low-end control, and the kind of physical feedback DJs rely on to stay locked into the groove.
One of the first real-world stress tests for the system was Py’Rave, Audentia’s flagship hard techno event—an environment where sound is not just heard, but felt. The event pushed the system to sustain high energy levels over extended periods, challenging its SPL capability, low-frequency management, transient precision, and overall stability. The result was a powerful, immersive sound field with deep, articulate bass and consistent coverage, allowing the music to hit hard without becoming fatiguing or uncontrolled.
With this new installation, Audentia takes a decisive step forward, reinforcing its identity as a venue where sound is a driving force of the experience, capable of delivering intensity, emotion, and impact at the highest level.
