Corporate HQ Paris: AV for Meeting Rooms Case Study
For a leading software company, Audiotek was tasked with delivering a high-spec AV system for it’s new corporate HQ Paris. The challenge? Fitting cutting-edge technology into a stylish, design-led workspace — ensuring it looked as good as it sounded.
The project covered three meeting and conference rooms, each equipped with advanced video conferencing and presentation facilities. From discreet ceiling-mounted loudspeakers to powerful projection, every element had to combine performance with minimal visual impact.
Project Challenges
: Project Challenges
- Stylish environment: AV had to blend seamlessly into a carefully designed corporate HQ.
- Consistency: Three different spaces required the same high level of functionality and ease of use.
- High specification: Professional-grade audio and video quality were essential for international conferences.
Project Scope – AV Installation at Corporate HQ Paris
Audiotek designed and installed a full AV package across three rooms:
- Control: Crestron system for unified control of all AV functions.
- Audio: L-Acoustics KIVA loudspeaker system, colour-matched to the ceiling for discretion.
- Video: Dual Panasonic 10,000-lumen projectors for crystal-clear presentations.
- Displays: Samsung screens to support conferencing and collaboration.
- Video Conferencing: Cisco solution, integrated with the Crestron system for seamless operation.
Design Approach to AV for Meeting Rooms
The guiding principle was to make the AV invisible yet powerful:
- Discreet integration: Ceiling brackets were colour-matched to blend seamlessly with the architecture.
- User-first design: Crestron control simplified operation, giving staff one-touch management of complex systems.
- Balanced performance: L-Acoustics ensured pristine audio reproduction, while Panasonic projectors delivered professional-grade visuals.

Educational Insights
This project demonstrates why AV for meeting rooms is about more than equipment:
- Integration is key: Unified control makes advanced systems easy to use.
- Design sensitivity matters: AV should complement, not clash with, architecture.
- Futureproofing counts: Systems should support hybrid work and international collaboration.
Conclusion – AV for Meeting Rooms That Blends In
At this Corporate HQ in Paris, Audiotek proved that high-spec AV can deliver world-class performance while remaining discreet. By integrating Crestron, Samsung, Panasonic, and L-Acoustics into a stylish corporate environment, the system empowers communication without compromising design.
