ATG Danmon announces the completion of an audio system located in the clock tower adjacent to one of Europe's longest established national legislatures.

The assignment forms the culmination of a five-year restoration project which included repairs to the clock and the masonry of the tower itself. It allows the chimes from the tower's five bells to be captured in very high quality for live transmission as well as for use in news programmes and parliamentary broadcasts. The largest of the five, weighing nearly 14 tonnes, sounds the hour, supplemented by four smaller bells programmed to sound a distinctive sequence each quarter-hour.
