Switzerland - The Gaswerk is one of the hippest clubs in Winterthur, Switzerland. Named after the former local gas works that it had been, the Gaswerk today is the location of all kinds of different events including theatre, musicals, movies and band contests, and it is a favoured venue for touring rock and punk bands.

The heart of the club is the main hall that can hold 600-700 visitors and that is equipped with a mobile stage, lighting and PA. As for the PA, the Gaswerk-association that is taking care of the management, hospitality and technique of the location, has chosen a Cohedra Compact from HK Audio.

Sound technician Raphael Sieber explains why: "There were three essential criteria. First of all the sound, of course, but also especially the flexibility of the system and also the looks of it. It was necessary that the system could be used for theatre productions as well as for our Punk-festivals.

Fellow sound technician Mylène Jacquemart adds, Cohedra Compact fulfills all of these criteria and more.
