DirectOut manufactures audio solutions that are renowned for their reliability, whatever the application. For an event which has the scale and importance of the Pope’s 2025 Jubilee for Youth, absolute redundancy is a complete necessity. DirectOut’s Luca Giaroli designed a network audio, video, and control system that would provide the perfect infrastructure, working tirelessly to ensure that the audience of over a million young people heard every word of this special Papal Mass. <\/p>\n

A Jubilee or Holy year is recognized every 25 years by the Catholic church. The year offers an opportunity for Catholics to reset, renew faith and recommit to a just world. The Jubilee for Youth was a week-long international event that saw hundreds of thousands of young people complete prayers, masses and even a pilgrimage of faith that culminated in the chance to enter the Vatican Major Basilicas through the Holy Doors. <\/p>\n

Held in Rome during August 2025, the event was produced on a huge scale, the audience area alone was over 5 kilometers wide, with over 80 towers delivering audio and visuals across the site. Installed by Italian production company, EventManagement, each tower was equipped with loudspeaker PA systems, huge video screens and DirectOut smart platforms.<\/p>\n

These were fed from a RAVENNA Audio over IP distribution network and each tower benefitted from fail-safe redundancy, across the entire network. There were also additional DirectOut solutions in use across the front of house, stage and broadcast audio systems, with the total number of DirectOut smart platforms totaling almost 100. <\/p>\n

The scale of the audience area was vast. The distance between the first and last towers took over six minutes to travel between in a car and the audio delay between them was over five seconds. These towers provided all audio and visual services, including emergency announcements, so failure was not an option.<\/p>\n
