The system is designed to be operated without
any technical knowledge and without needing
an acoustic expert on site, with clearly marked
buttons for each type of event.

leisure, retail and sports. “Culture is an essential
part of any major tourist destination, and it
should be culture of the highest quality,” says
Rohde. “There is certainly no other mountain

attract the best musicians in the world. This
was confirmed with the opening concert by the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra on 16 June 2019.”
