JBL Professional's EVO speakers have been installed into a multipurpose room inside Vienna's new Leopold Museum. The 117-seat room is used for a variety of functions including concerts, podium discussions, movies, and presentations. One of the new museums in Vienna's art district, the five-story Leopold Museum houses the art exhibition of Rudolf Leopold, with over 5,000 paintings including works by artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and Oskar Kokoschka.

The installation was completed by audio specialists, Georg Vanek and Frank Bocksteiner / Ton&Technik, who chose EVO because of its functionality and ease of use. Aside from audio quality, another factor in the decision to choose EVO was its compact and elegant design and ability to be mounted horizontally, allowing for speaker placement below the ceiling line. Vanek, pleased with the installation, stated: "It sounds very good; plays very good; everything fits."

Bocksteiner agreed, saying: "Achieving an acoustical solution of the highest standards, such as in this venue, is only possible in liaison with clients and brand names we trust. Over the course of my career, JBL has proven that they don't compromise any quality."

The installation turned out so well that the installers were asked to install other systems in the building: the museum's coffee shop, Café Leopold, now features several other JBL products including the Marquis Series MS28, Control 1, and EON G2 speakers.
