L'Elysee Montmartre is one of the premier venues in Paris for live rock and dance music. It has an especially close association with the British live music scene, with 90% of its acts coming from across the Channel.

Designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 and now a protected building in the heart of the Montmartre district, L'Elysee has used Turbosound (Festival system) for the last 10 years, and was naturally keen to upgrade with the same manufacturer. Because of strict Health & Safety regulations, which stated that the SPL reading of the hall must not exceed 104dB, L'Elysee became one of the first live venues in Europe to install a distributed PA system.

It is an unusual system combination of Floodlight and TCS cabinets. The Floodlights are concentrated left, right and above the stage, while the TCS-612s are flown to distribute the sound throughout the venue.

One particularly nice touch is the use of motorised mounts for the two central clusters of TCS-612s. This enables the speakers to be pointed down the hall for a conventional rock gig audience, or rotated to face the stage, thereby creating a dancefloor system for club nights. "We believe we are the first to use the TCS Series in this application. We use Floodlight with it and it's a good combination because they provide the same colour of sound. "

The main bar at L'Elysee is situated at the back of the hall, and makes a little bit of Turbosound history by becoming one of the first sites for the new Impact speakers. Four Impact 80s are wall-mounted here.
