From dinner to the dance floor:
LD Systems MAILA XXL at Festa Romana on Mallorca
Once a year, the historic old town of Alcúdia in Mallorca is transformed into a journey back into the ancient past: at Festa Romana, Roman-inspired market stands, crafts, parades and shows are complemented by an extensive music programme. For more than two decades, this open-air event has been one of the fixtures on the town’s calendar of events. In 2026, the festival was organised on a much larger scale and comprised three stages in total. The Mallorcan event technology service provider Modul Sound was responsible for one of these stages and used an LD Systems MAILA XXL system for the sound. The other stage was set-up by Alcudia Luz, and they have trusted in MAILA XXL too.
“We have now used MAILA at many major events and have had very good experiences with it,” explains Patrick Fossati, founder and CEO of Modul Sound. At Festa Romana, the challenge was to provide uniform sound coverage across both stages, each accommodating around 1,500 visitors and measuring approximately 35 to 40 metres in depth. “We opted for a MAILA XXL configuration because it offers us long ranges and wide coverage – whilst delivering outstanding clarity at the same time.”
A complete MAILA XXL system was used for each of the two stages. The flown arrays, comprising MAILA COL column modules and MAILA SAT array satellites, were supplemented by MAILA SUB 2×15" bandpass subwoofers for the low-frequency foundation. This provided Modul Sound with a powerful and at the same time slimline system that delivered even coverage across the extensive audience areas.
“People look at the system and ask if that really is the complete PA. When they hear it, they’re even more surprised.”

Clear and linear
For Fossati, the combination of range and consistent sound is one of the great strengths of MAILA: “The system has almost hi-fi-like clarity. It makes practically no difference where you stand – playback remains very linear.” The compact dimensions of the line array also often takes people by surprise: “People look at the system and ask if that really is the complete PA. When they hear it, they’re even more surprised.”
The MAILA XXL also impressed with its fast response and the necessary depth and pressure in the low-frequency range. At the same time, the directional dispersion enabled a significant reduction in the bass energy to the sides and behind the system, which is particularly beneficial for transparent sound onstage.
Quick setup
In addition to sound quality, the time required to set up the equipment is also a crucial factor for a rental service provider such as Modul Sound. Here, MAILA users benefit from e.g. the modular and cable-free design of the MAILA arrays. “The system can be set up by just one person if necessary,” Fossati confirms. “When I’m focused on my work and know what needs to be done, I can get the complete system up and running in about ten minutes.”
The team uses the MAILA app for configuration. On their tablet, they can e.g. set the height of the system, the angles of the individual array elements and the level, and make initial EQ adjustments where necessary. “The app makes a lot of things much easier. You don’t need to connect a computer and you can work directly on the tablet – it’s just so much quicker.”
“When I’m focused on my work and know what needs to be done, I can get the complete system up and running in about ten minutes.”

Flexible and scalable
For Modul Sound, another key factor in product selection was the modularity and scalability of the MAILA concept. “We can use the same system for an event of 100 people or scale it up for 1,500 people," says Fossati. “This makes our work much easier.” Modul Sound has already tested just how far MAILA can be scaled at other events. For example, systems have been used for events with up to 3000 visitors, supplemented by additional MAILA components as a delay system.
The range is also not limited to certain music styles or event formats. From corporate events to jazz and rock to electronic music, Patrick Fossati sees hardly any limitations: “You can actually play anything on it. In my view, the system sets hardly any limits.”

From dinner to the dance floor:
Just 20 minutes from Paris, La Maison Louveciennes unites French gastronomy with a versatile event concept. The restaurant, lounge, and bar combined with a terrace and seasonal beach area not only changes atmosphere throughout the day, but also places different demands on sound and lighting. The French service provider KFL Integration developed a permanent audio and lighting solution for La Maison using products from LD Systems and Cameo as well as QUESTRA as a central control platform. The concept’s flexibility was exhibited at the latest Fête de la Musique: for the live event, which is known nationwide, the permanent installation was enhanced with an additional sound system and show-lighting set-up.
MAXIMUM Copenhagen: audio & lighting for Denmark’s new interactive experience
If an entertainment centre is called MAXIMUM, it really ought to have plenty to offer its guests. And the operators of Denmark’s largest indoor theme park chain have been following this principle for many years: bowling, laser games, escape rooms, restaurants and much more offer a wide variety of entertainment for young and old alike – and since 2026 it has, at long last, also had a presence in the capital Copenhagen. The Danish integrator Profox has been responsible for the planning and installation of AVL technology at the various sites for several years. At MAXIMUM in Copenhagen, the company relied, amongst other things, on audio and lighting solutions from LD Systems and Cameo.
A grand finale, discreet technology – LD Systems and Cameo in the hospitality areas for Europe’s football elite
In the heart of the French department of Aveyron lies one of the most extraordinary sites in French culinary culture: the Roquefort Société Caves. The famous Roquefort AOP blue cheese has been maturing in these natural caves for centuries. Year after year, over 100,000 people visit the extensive network of tunnels and vaults. As part of an extensive redesign of the visitor experience, the French integrator STE AUDIO, in collaboration with the team from Adam Hall Integrated Systems, developed a fully integrated audio, lighting and control solution that brings the history of the caves to life in a completely new way.
A grand finale, discreet technology – LD Systems and Cameo in the hospitality areas for Europe’s football elite
When Europe’s two best club teams meet to compete for the most prestigious trophy in European club football, it’s not just the on-pitch proceedings that have to run perfectly. Behind the scenes, it is also essential to provide thousands of guests in the various hospitality areas with a first-class experience. For the dramatic 2026 final at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, several exclusive VIP areas were equipped with audio and lighting technology from LD Systems and Cameo. The Hungarian full-service provider MD Rental was responsible for the technical planning, integration and on-site operation. At the heart of the project was the LD Systems QUESTRA platform, which controlled all audio areas efficiently and almost invisibly in the background.

Welcome to Wrexham – QUESTRA manages Audio, Video and Lighting at Tŷ Pawb
The Disney+ series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, documenting the miraculous rise of Wrexham AFC, has made this small Welsh town world-famous. However, Wrexham has far more to offer than just football and some famous supporters from Hollywood. In 2018, Tŷ Pawb opened as a modern, multi-purpose and multi-award-winning venue that brings together galleries, concerts, dining and local retailers in an open, vibrant setting. To meet the complex AV technical requirements for Tŷ Pawb’s wide range of uses, the AV integrator responsible, ORB Sound & Lighting, opted for an integrated audio, video and lighting control system based on the LD Systems QUESTRA platform.
Modern audio technology at the university
Whether it’s an info event, a panel discussion, a public lecture or an exam – the event hall at HFT Stuttgart (University of Applied Sciences) is used throughout the year for a wide variety of events. Consequently, the demands placed on the sound system in the approximately 240 m² hall, which can accommodate around 350 people across two levels, are correspondingly high. As the existing equipment was becoming increasingly outdated, HFT Stuttgart decided to modernise its media technology in stages. For the new sound system, the integrator responsible, PPM Stuttgart, opted for a discreet yet flexible system based on the compact LD Systems CURV 500 array system.
A perfect setting for a very special day
Whether it’s a state-of-the-art, newly built in-the-round theatre or a historic cultural centre with decades of history, theatres are among the most versatile venue types of all. This technical and artistic range is also embodied by two recently completed theatre installations in England, which were implemented using solutions from the Adam Hall Integrated Systems portfolio: while the newly opened Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre in the London district of the same name uses audio solutions from LD Systems, the time-honoured The Coro in Ulverston has employed lights and signal distributors from Cameo to modernise its lighting technology.
Captivated by the elements
A historic place of worship is transformed into an audiovisual experience: with ‘ELEMENTS’, the Church of Sant Gaietà, in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, becomes a 360° multimedia spectacle combining light, sound and video projection. The installation tells a visual story centred on the four elements —water, fire, air and earth— with the figure of the Mallorcan philosopher Ramon Llull as the fifth element. For 25 minutes, visitors are immersed in an audiovisual composition developed by the artistic collective Dalumen Lab for Spiritual Mallorca, which fully integrates the church’s architecture. The system was installed by Auvipro Audiovisuales, which utilised installation solutions from LD Systems and Cameo, all controlled via the LD Systems QUESTRA platform.
