Three exceptional installations win 2025 Genelec AV Awards

This year, the standard of the nominees’ installations was so consistently high that it was decided that all three would receive the honour of Project of the Year. So, a very warm congratulations to LEM Studios for ‘Marvel: Earth's Mightiest Exhibition’, Appletify for ‘Villa Heftye Bistro’, and Informationsteknik Scandinavia AB for ‘Queen Silvia’s Concert Hall’.

Since 2017, the Genelec AV Awards have been held every two years – and presented during the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) tech show – to help shine a light on the special combination of integration expertise and Genelec technology that goes into making inspiring premium-audio-quality experiences. Nominated projects showcase Genelec’s key strengths of exceptional sound, reliability, design and sustainability – while demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship of the integrator. 

“Every year, Genelec proudly supplies the exceptionally creative and proficient AV professionals we’ve partnered with across the globe. As we learn of their stunning projects and the premium experiences they power, we are reminded of why we strive for the highest quality in our solutions and how important partners are for deploying them at their best.

Though a wealth of incredible projects is created between each Genelec AV Awards – and it’s hard to choose only a handful to highlight – we are delighted to declare that LEM Studios, Appletify and Informationsteknik Scandinavia AB’s projects are joint winners of Project of the Year 2025. Congratulations to all three, and a very warm thank you to everyone working with Genelec Installed Sound that couldn’t be included this time around.” says Kati Pajukallio, Genelec Installed Sound Business Manager.

About this year’s winners

LEM Studios – Marvel: Earth's Mightiest Exhibition

Vibrantly bringing to life Marvel’s over-80-years of history, this very special touring exhibition takes visitors behind-the-scenes of the creation of some of popular culture’s most iconic stories and characters – with the help of a powerful immersive soundscape delivered by 70 Genelec 4430A Smart IP PoE loudspeakers. LEM Studios brilliantly designed the loudspeaker installation in such a way that it provides intense emotional energy to captivate visitors while being so visually discreet as to take nothing away from the exhibition’s impressive visuals.
