The expanded five-hectare theme park opens for the 2021 season with immersive audio<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

TOLEDO, SPAIN \u2013 August 2021<\/strong> \u2013 A theme park with no rides, Puy du Fou has a magic of its very own. In the late 1970s, French entrepreneur Philippe de Villiers gradually began to build a vast historical reproduction theme park in Western France. Every milieu portrayed is authentic, ranging from Viking and Roman times to Richelieu, Revolution, and Resistance. Today, Puy du Fou attracts over two million tourists every year and provides a mini economy for the local community. The park installed its first L-Acoustics sound system in 2000, became an early adopter of L-ISA Hyperreal Sound technology in 2016, added L-Acoustics to the prestigious Puy du Fou Club of Partners in 2017, and today, the entire park is equipped with L-Acoustics sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, when plans were revealed to open Puy du Fou Espa\u00f1a, L-Acoustics was asked to bring its trusted audio formula to the massive new Toledo site.

A \u20ac200m investment brought Puy du Fou Espa\u00f1a to life for its 2019 ribbon-cutting, including the unveiling of the first show, El Sue\u00f1o de Toledo,<\/em> billed as \u2018the biggest show in Spain.\u2019 The ambitious spectacle transports visitors through 1,500 years of Spanish history performed by 200 actors, with knights in armor, staged fights, fireworks, and parades set within a huge crenelated backdrop. A show which aims to transport an audience of 5,000 from the discovery of America to the arrival of the railway demanded substantial sound reinforcement. Which is provided by an immersive sound configuration, comprising 25 K2<\/a>, nine Kara<\/a>, and ten KS28<\/a> subs covering the entire arena in natural, spatial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 opening of the park sees four new shows added \u2013 El \u00daltimo Cantar<\/em>, A Pluma y Espada<\/em>, Allende la mar Oc\u00e9ana<\/em>, and Cetreria de Reyes<\/em>, all benefiting from L-Acoustics systems, with El \u00daltimo Cantar benefitting from an<\/em> L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal installation. \u201cWe applied the same design principles in Spain as we did in Puy du Fou France: the successful technical formula of the park is repeated, but with clear cultural differences in its theming,\u201d says Arnaud Delorme, L-Acoustics Head of Application, Installation. Delorme worked alongside Puy du Fou\u2019s in-house technical team, including Mix Engineer Samuel Briand, Integrator Ugo Poletto, and onsite Sound Technician Daniel Garcia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El \u00daltimo Cantar<\/em> is a sword-swinging show featuring onstage jousting and singers. The tale of legendary 11th-century Castilian knight El Cid is brought to life with 24 clusters of A15 Wide<\/a> and Focus<\/a> accompanied by 5<\/a>X<\/a>T<\/a> coaxials providing front-fill. The speakers are positioned around a centrally rotating, 2,400-seat platform, which revolves to reveal multiple stages around its circumference, the largest of which features a large swimming pool representing the sea. An array of eight KS21<\/a> subs beneath the audience seating ensures the lowest rumbles of battle are realistically conveyed with a high level of directivity control. \u201cThis is a fully immersive L-ISA 24.1 hyperreal mix, with an encoder that sends OSC messages to tell the L-ISA Processor<\/a> at which angle the seating is rotating. The processor controls 24 objects, one for each cluster piloting them to turn with the seating assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Pluma y Espada <\/em>follows the adventures of an exuberant swordsman, from his battle with soldiers across Toledo\u2019s rooftops to his appearance before the King. The audience area is covered by nine hangs of A15, a mixture of Focus and Wide, and four KS28 in a central cluster above the 40-meter wide stage in a frontal L-ISA configuration, all powered by an L-ISA Processor. Six A10i Wide<\/a> dotted around and behind the audience provide surround sound, and eight X8<\/a> provide front-fill and a further two A15 per side in horizontal configuration for out-fill to ensure coverage of the lateral audience while minimizing interference with the L-ISA zone. \u201cThere is orchestral music throughout the show, and the L-ISA spatialization gives the impression of a real orchestra in front of the 1,500 spectators,\u201d explains Delorme. \u201cIn addition to the music, the hyperreal technology allows the sound to follow the action on the stage naturally. From left-to-right, front-to-back\u2014wherever the action is, the sound is there, too, with the full 360\u00b0 immersive setup bringing the spectacular action scenes to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allende la mar Oc\u00e9ana<\/em> is a walk-through journey telling the story of Christopher Columbus\u2019 discovery of the New World, featuring special effects to allow visitors to experience the sensations of the high seas and the bustle of the port of Palos before the crew set sail. Installed here are 150 coaxial enclosures and subs, from X4i<\/a> to A15, and additional subs, each on a separate channel, controlled by LA4X<\/a> amplified controllers. Visitors enter through an outside area, and their journey continues through 21 rooms, with the L-Acoustics ecosystem ensuring storytelling continuity. M1 measurement software allows for standardized response curves and levels wherever the speakers are integrated into the scenes. Almost a thousand measurements were needed, something that could not have been achieved before M1 was released last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause the enclosures need to be hidden, the smaller their size the better. But they still needed to be sufficient depending on the objective,\u201d says Briand. \u201cFor the storm on the high seas, there are a total of four X12<\/a>, four X8, then two A15 Wide, four KS21, and 5XT in a room that\u2019s 5m wide and 10m deep. The boat is sinking, so it\u2019s quite a stressful experience, and there\u2019s a lot of power here. In the library, where you take just five or six steps to complete the room, there are still seven cabinets, but smaller-sized, because we wanted to produce a more realistic and refined ambiance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The stars of the show are the birds,\u201d Delorme observes of Cetreria de Reyes<\/em>, where birds of prey, including eagles, hawks, and owls fly alongside herons and vultures amongst the audience. \u201cOur mandate here was to achieve power, bandwidth, homogeneity, and quality \u2013 all within a limited space and a corresponding limited number of enclosures.\u201d Two tiers of identical audience seating areas are positioned on opposite sides of the arena. Each tier has two clusters of one each A15 Wide and Focus with three left\/right KS21 positioned on observation towers at each side of the arena. A central stack of Kara II is used to convey the powerful show narrative. Three A10 per side are situated at the back of the seating for surround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe needed a lot of LF and power, intelligibility, and bandwidth for the narrative,\u201d explains Briand. \u201cThanks to signal routing and equalization via the M1 suite of measurement tools from L-Acoustics, we could deliver coherency between the center and the sides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the success of the last two seasons, the addition of the new shows meant that Puy du Fou Espa\u00f1a opened its doors in April to much anticipation, which has been more than equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took more than 40 years to build Puy du Fou France to one of the world\u2019s leading theme parks. L-Acoustics played a key role in achieving that success, especially in pioneering immersive audio to create an unforgettable experience,\u201d concludes Poletto. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to apply our decades of experience to Puy du Fou Espa\u00f1a, and the immediate success of the audio systems throughout is undeniable. Audiences already appreciate exceptional audio throughout the park, with L-ISA technology adding to the feeling of being right in the middle of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
