Proffesional Audio for Áltima Funeral Home , Barcelona
Àltima Ronda de Dalt Funeral Home in Barcelona has implemented a new Ecler audio system across its facilities through a project designed and installed by PROSOUND. Originally shared by our iberian distributor NID, the installation spans two indoor ceremony halls and extensive outdoor spaces, delivering a cohesive audio experience throughout the venue.
The project was developed to address several important objectives, including outstanding speech intelligibility during ceremonies, even sound distribution across all areas, seamless integration with the venue’s architecture, and straightforward operation for staff. The system also provides the flexibility to manage each space independently or combine multiple zones when required.

Consistent Audio Performance in the Mediterrani Hall
The Mediterrani Hall features a long and narrow layout, requiring precise sound distribution throughout the room while keeping visible equipment to a minimum.
To achieve this, six eMOTUS8OD loudspeakers in black finish were installed in a balanced arrangement, with three units positioned on each side of the hall. Their wide coverage pattern ensures consistent sound throughout the audience area, supporting clear speech and natural music reproduction.
An AURA-2B600 amplifier powers the system, while a SAMI-612 mixer manages microphone and music sources, providing intuitive operation during services and events.
Architectural Integration in the Tibidabo Hall
For the Tibidabo Hall, the venue’s main ceremony space, the objective was to provide comprehensive audio coverage while maintaining the visual character of the room.
The solution includes twelve VIC-6 ceiling loudspeakers strategically positioned throughout the hall. This configuration delivers excellent speech intelligibility across all seating areas, while the 100 V line design allows flexible level adjustment and adaptation to different occupancy requirements.
To improve musical performance, two ARQISSB6Ti ultra compact subwoofers were integrated near the altar area. Their compact form factor provides additional low frequency support while remaining visually discreet.
An AURA-4B600 amplifier supplies power to both the main loudspeaker system and the low frequency reinforcement.
Audio Coverage Throughout the Outdoor Spaces
The outdoor areas include two covered terraces and a landscaped garden featuring abundant vegetation and a long water feature. The audio design focused on achieving consistent coverage while maintaining harmony with the surrounding environment.
The covered terraces were fitted with VIC-8 loudspeakers in white finish, extending audio coverage whenever indoor and outdoor areas are used simultaneously. Within the garden, four ZEN-15 landscape loudspeakers with granite finish were selected to blend naturally into the setting while providing reliable coverage along the pathways.
To complement the system, two IG108 units were integrated within the vegetation. Their 360 degree horizontal dispersion contributes to even sound distribution across open areas, helping maintain balanced coverage throughout the garden.
Flexible Control for Multiple Operating Scenarios
Operational flexibility was a central requirement of the project. The system allows each hall to function independently, extends audio to the outdoor terraces when needed, and enables all indoor and outdoor zones to operate together as a unified audio system.
A MIMO88SG digital matrix with eight inputs and eight outputs manages signal routing and zone control. Daily operation is carried out through a PULSO-6 wall panel equipped with a touchscreen, giving staff quick access to predefined operating modes through an intuitive interface.
Result
The completed installation provides a flexible and scalable audio solution capable of adapting to a wide variety of ceremony formats. Through the combination of dedicated indoor and outdoor loudspeaker systems, centralized signal management, and intuitive control, the project delivers excellent speech intelligibility, consistent coverage throughout the venue, and efficient day to day operation for the team at Àltima Ronda de Dalt Funeral Home.
