TiMax supports Thunerseespiele

Switzerland’s Thunerseespiele 2015 featured a world first for TiMax when its SOR audio localisation was used to track Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ performed in a massive half-pipe with a cast of BMX stunt bikers and skateboarders.

Since 2009 all stage productions at Thun’s open-air lakeside amphitheatre have been supported with TiMax source-oriented reinforcement (SOR) sound designs by Thomas Strebel whose audiopool engineers also crew the events, with TiMax system design and programming support from Out Board’s Robin Whittaker.

A TiMax SoundHub audio showcontrol delay-matrix system is controlled by TiMax Tracker automation such that transmitter tags worn by each performer send radar-frequency UWB chirps to sensors around the stage which then send positional information the TiMax SoundHub in real-time. SoundHub then applies especially developed morphing delay algorithms to each performer’s radio mic to ensure that every audience member hears their voice coming from where they actually are on stage.

This is achieved by independently varying the delay relationships between each artist’s radio mic and a distributed speaker system made up of D&B T10’s in the audience on poles and mounted on the stage lip as cross-firing imaging “anchors”, Q7’s embedded in the stage-front behind scrims, and further Q7 anchors mounted in the down-stage far left and right vertical walls of the half-pipe itself.
