TiMax sounding out Red Square

More Out Board details

Cambridgeshire-based Out Board supplied sound equipment for the debut Kremlin Zoria festival of military marching bands in Moscow's Red Square recently.

The event saw marching bands from the Moscow Garrison and German Army Corps joined by the perennially-massed Scottish bagpipers and drummers.

Musical highlights included excerpts from Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, along with a special arrangement of Amazing Grace performed by the band of the British Coldstream Guards.

Central to the sound reinforcement system, a TiMax Audio Imaging delay matrix from Out Board enabled the performers’ amplified sound to accurately follow their movements around the arena.

The system was focused onto the various sound sources by first defining them as a number of localisation zones across the arena. These image definition origins were then delay-mapped independently to each of the loudspeakers and the seating areas they covered.

The TiMax matrix and software would then statically or dynamically pan sound sources to these multiple locations around the arena as directed, continuously varying delay times so that the Haas precedence effect provided accurate imaging for the whole audience.

Proprietary new smooth-panning algorithms in the TiMax dsp matrix firmware helped maintain absolute transparency in the delay-panning process.

The event's sound design team specified the multi-channel distributed sound system provided by Moscow-based Spin Music. The system comprised L-Acoustics' Kudo line array systems positioned in the arena's four corners as additional distant image anchors, with eight pairs of small dV-dosc arrays in nearfield reinforcement locations close to the two-sided audience seating.

16-channels of compact MTD108P cabinets provided extra audience in-fill.

Spin Music rented the 16x16 TiMax Rack System ShowControl PC from Out Board, who had it shipped direct from a previous engagement at the Edinburgh Tattoo.
