Baluarte Conference Center and Auditorium of Navarra, a Spanish exhibition venue, has implemented Riedel's Artist intercom ecosystem, Bolero wireless intercom, and IP-based SmartPanels to enhance communication across its expansive 64,000-square-metre facility.
Overcoming the physical challenges posed by the building's size and its solid gray-quartzite construction, the Riedel technology connects professionals working throughout the center and auditorium to support a wide variety of events.
Designed by renowned architect Patxi Mangado, Baluarte has stood as a versatile, avant-garde space in the heart of Pamplona since 2003. With a main auditorium accommodating 1,568 spectators, a chamber hall for 432 people, and an additional 4800 square metres of exhibition and event halls, addressing communication challenges within such a vast space was a priority within Baluarte's modernisation plan.
Baluarte's Artist ecosystem integrates Riedel's Bolero wireless intercom, featuring six antennas and 20 beltpacks, as well as seven SmartPanels connected over IP with AES67. This setup ensures intercommunication not only among technicians, but also room, security, and service personnel.
Riedel's technical service provided initial training on the system and still offers continuous support.
