Located in the center of Milan's fashionable district, the new Spazio Gessi is an exhibition hall and event venue, literally excavated under the foundations of two historic mansions on Via Manzoni, In line with the philosophy in design and manufacture of bathroom solutions of this renowned Italian firm.

This unique space, with some 5.000 square meters of surface area, has been designed to host fashion shows, as well as to hold business meetings and dinners, Concerts & Events; so one of the needs to bring all this to fruition was to have an appropriate sound system and in line with the design of Spazio Gessi.

As architect Luca Bresciani points out, "Gessi's project was to create a space destined to be much more than a traditional showroom., So when we think about the sound system and how to transmit information, We knew that it was necessary to have a system capable of offering natural reproduction, both soft background music and vocals, but at the same time with enough power for the parties and events that are celebrated in this unique space".

In addition to high quality and sound reproduction, one of the primary requirements of the audio system was that it be small and flexible to install "since Gessi is a benchmark in elegance and style," Bresciani points out., And in this unique room everything has to be hidden behind the walls and not distort the environment, That's why I decided to turn to Molpass, a benchmark in audio consulting in Italy, and that I had worked for Gessi before".

The solution selected by Molpass focused mainly on the White range of D&b audiotechnik, "Specifically with the 4S and 5S models (Lightweight two-way passive speakers), that we tested alongside a high-performance, two-way 12S subwoofer. The boxes had the aesthetic look we needed, and the sound reproduction was perfect", Bresciani explains.

To maintain the aesthetics of Spazio Gessi, Alessandro Bertoni, executive Molpass, conceived a signal management infrastructure based on d remote control software R1&B Audiotechnik to minimize the need to always carry additional reinforcing sound, even for DJ events.

In this sense, for the central area of the room, two sets of Ti10 speakers were installed as the main system, supported by the 27S-SUB high-performance cardiode subwoofer, "which was ideal for this environment. By boasting a mostly marble surface and other equally dense and reflective flat surfaces, the control of the Ti10 pattern was the most suitable, while the inherent cardioid nature of the 27S subwoofer provides massless power precisely in the right-hand area., which is perfect".

The sound system, installed a few months ago, works smoothly and meets the requirements of Spazio Gessi, As the founder of the company assures, Gianluca Gessi: "Our new center in Milan is like a laboratory, since in this space creatives and commercial companies merge in an emotional sensory environment, that we have designed in detail and for the most subtle of senses: the audience".
