Japan’s Yokkaichi Municipal Museum has recently reopened following refurbishment. The refurbishment was designed and installed by Goto Inc. around their 8K triple head hybrid planetarium projection system. This, the most advanced opto-mechanical projector ever, offers a viewing potential that is second-to-none. The ability to display the Milky Way to magnitude 18 is just one of its capabilities.

The commitment to quality however does not stop there. To create the most sophisticated yet natural accompanying audio soundscape, a Timax Sound Hub 2 matrix was installed to provide real-time, cue-based timecode synchronisation between the planetarium’s multichannel surround audio and the ultra-high-resolution visual content that almost fully envelopes the audience. The Timax 2 Sound Hub controls routing of audio from a 24ch small mixing console and Tascam 8ch recorder by timecode cues, distributing both wired and wireless microphones in the mixer and a CD player, SD card player and the Tascam multitrack recorder. The Sound Hub distributes output via a custom controller to 13 d&b Max 12 loudspeakers and sevenpower amps, two d&b subwoofer, a single Meyer 650P subwoofer and a total of 44 small under floor speakers installed specifically for sound effects.

The TiMax was supplied by exclusive Japanese distributors, S.C. Alliance Inc. to Goto Inc.
