Unique musical experience at the Théâtre des Quinconces, thanks to Carmen®

The new Théâtre des Quinconces L’Espal in Le Mans offers audiences a unique musical experience.
The Carmen®1system installed in 2014 adjusts the venue’s acoustics to the specific needs of different types of productions, including opera, concerts, theater and dance. Designed by CSTB researchers specializing in natural sound propagation in complex environments, Carmen® offers the kind of high-quality acoustics valued by both music lovers and musicians. The system is an ideal solution for correcting poor acoustics in performance halls.
