March 2013 and will examine Bowie’s processes, influences and creativity. The V&A is working in partnership with Sennheiser, allowing visitors to become immersed in Bowie’s music and style via a guidePORT system. The audio journey culminates in a Sennheiser 3DAudio experience, where visitors will become enveloped in a spatial rendition of Bowie songs played through hidden Neumann speakers. Paul Whiting, president of global sales at Sennheiser, says: “We will not only bring equipment to this exhibition, but also our audio expertise.”n www.sennheiser.co.uk

DME64N/DME24N digital mixing engines for signal routing and processing. A larger-scale version of the system was installed in the


Grand Théâtre, where either the DM2000 or a PM5D can be used, depending on the complexity of the production. The networks in the two venues

street. “We had no experience of networked audio, so Yamaha Commercial Audio and Scenetec worked closely with us to deliver an exceptionally convenient solution,” said Dureux. n www.yamahaproaudio.com
