In the heart of Asunción, Paraguay, lies the Teatro Tom Jobim, nestled within the Embassy of Brazil. This intimate venue, though small in size, plays a pivotal role in hosting notable national and Brazilian artists. It serves as a cultural bridge connecting the local Brazilian community with political, business, and diplomatic circles, making it a vital hub for artistic and diplomatic endeavors. However, the Teatro faced a pressing challenge in delivering exceptional sound quality that would meet the demands of its diverse audience.
The Players
- Client: Audio Shop Paraguay
- Venue: Teatro Tom Jobim, Embassy of Brazil, Asunción
- Key Stakeholder: Sra. Aline Pereira, Cultural Affairs Manager, Embassy of Brazil
The Challenge
The Teatro Tom Jobim had a unique challenge to overcome: providing consistently high-quality sound to every member of its 400-person audience. Achieving uniform sound pressure and tonal response throughout the venue was imperative. Additionally, the sound system had to enhance the intelligibility and stereo imaging for an immersive audio experience.

- 5 x Event-218A subwoofer 2 x Artec-508A frontfill
- Artec-510A for rows closer to the stage Event-M210A as monitors
The Solution
In July, the Teatro Tom Jobim embarked on a transformative audio renovation project, led by Audio Shop. The selected audio system was none other than the Evento Serie by DAS Audio. The system comprised 12 Event 26A tops, 5 Event 218A subs, and 2 Artec 508A Front Fill speakers. This meticulous selection aimed to ensure a homogeneous tonal response and uniform sound pressure across the entire theater.
The Event 26A was chosen for its 6.5-inch AF driver, offering precise control, and its FIR filters that significantly improved stereo imaging and intelligibility. To maintain homogeneity rather than sheer pressure, a virtual arc arrangement was employed for the subs. For the rows closest to the stage, Artec 510A speakers were used to enhance intelligibility in areas beyond the primary system’s intersection. The project was further equipped with Event M210A series monitors.
The Result
Sra. Aline Pereira, Cultural Affairs Manager at the Embassy of Brazil, noted that the technological overhaul of the audio system at Teatro Tom Jobim marked a significant advancement in the expected sound quality for the Embassy’s cultural events. The elevation in the audio quality was crucial to meet the high artistic standards demanded by the activities held in the space.
The choice of DAS Audio was underpinned by excellent references and outstanding support throughout the project’s development, procurement, and installation phases. The expertise and commitment of the professionals involved, combined with their technical knowledge, sealed the decision to opt for DAS Audio.
The implementation of the new audio system resulted in a resoundingly positive reception from the audience, as well as praise from performing artists. The Embassy’s initiative to invest in an optimal audio system was met with acclaim, reinforcing the decision to choose DAS Audio. The advisory aspect of the project was instrumental in ensuring that Teatro Tom Jobim received a sound system tailored to its unique architectural characteristics.
In summary, the Teatro Tom Jobim’s journey with DAS Audio not only met but exceeded the expectations for audio quality, creating a seamless harmony between art and technology within this cultural embassy, and ultimately, justifying the investment made.
