The Großer Musikvereinssaal, known to many as the Golden Hall, is home to Vienna’s Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra’s famed annual New Year’s Day Concert. With a worldwide television audience tuning in every New Year’s Day since 1959, the world-renowned architectural acoustics needed more; they needed a full sound system complete with AKG C 12 VRs, K 702s and WMS 400 wireless system. The Golden Hall is more than just a concert venue; it also hosts numerous lectures and public…
