Custom Monitoring Systems
Custom Monitoring Systems & Line Source Loudspeakers for Specialized Applications
STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK designs, develops, and delivers monitoring systems for projects where standard loudspeaker formats are not appropriate.
Each solution is engineered in direct relation to the architecture, acoustic behavior, listening distance, and workflow of the space — whether for concert halls, immersive facilities, film stages, cinemas, or touring productions.
Custom SE Line Source Monitors in the SE MUSICLAB in Bern, Switzerland
Strauss develops monitoring systems for:
Mastering, Mixing & Recording Studios • Immersive & Spatial Audio Facilities • Film Scoring Stages & Sound Stages • Post-Production Facilities & Dubbing Theaters • Dolby Atmos & Theatrical Environments • Concert Halls • Theaters & Large Performance Spaces • Museums, Galleries & Exhibition Spaces • Universities & Research Facilities • High-End Residential Projects • Institutions
In addition to fixed installations, STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK designs tour-ready systems that allow artists and productions to bring a consistent reference or reinforcement solution on the road.
Custom Line Source Loudspeaker Designs
Strauss develops line source solutions tailored to each space and application:
· Line source systems for large rooms, film stages, concert halls & immersive environments
· Configurations optimized for both fixed installation and touring deployment
· Enclosures, waveguides & mounting hardware matched to architecture and rigging requirements
· Systems specified and voiced in direct relation to room acoustics, listening distances, program material, and workflow requirements.
Whether installed in a concert hall, cinema, studio, or dubbing stage — or deployed as part of an artist’s touring system — each Strauss solution is designed to deliver the same essential qualities: neutrality, resolution, stable imaging, and consistent performance in real-world conditions.

Monitoring Systems Integrated with Acoustic Design
For projects requiring integrated system development, loudspeakers and acoustic design are conceived together from the outset. Dispersion behavior, time alignment, and interaction with room boundaries are resolved during the design phase so the monitoring system and space operate as one coherent acoustic instrument.
In touring and large-scale deployment, the same principles guide rigging geometry, array configuration, and venue interaction — ensuring controlled radiation, predictable coverage, and consistent sonic character from location to location.
