Reply's new Turin headquarters includes a 100-seat underground auditorium equipped by integrator Decima 1948 with CODA Audio. The restored former barracks uses movable floor platforms so the room can change between conferences, training, TED-style talks, and social events.
HOPS7-Pro point-source loudspeakers form the main system, supported by compact U12 subwoofers. Decima selected the platform for its output-to-size ratio and its ability to maintain coverage as the auditorium moves between layouts.
Underground heritage spaces tend to combine low clearances, reflective boundaries, and visual restrictions. Distributing compact enclosures where coverage is required avoids the impact of a large central array, while the separate subwoofers preserve enough low-frequency capacity for events beyond speech.
