Jim Evans for L&SI Online took a peek at the equipment behind ZED’s amazing soundscape recently to see how using Meyer Sound’s new Constellation “electroacoustic architecture” is being used to heighten the emotional texture of the music. From the article:
- As applied in ZED, Constellation utilizes 97 compact loudspeakers, 32 microphones, and five dedicated VRAS processors to afford the liberty of creating fully adaptable acoustics. […]
Constellation in the ZED theatre is designed to work hand-in-glove with the Meyer Sound self-powered primary and surround audio systems. Everything is linked and controlled by what, surmises Bergeron, may be one of the largest CueConsole modular control surface ever assembled: 14 Matrix3 processors, six fader modules, 11 meter bridges, plus transporter and editor, together giving discrete access to 192 inputs and 168 outputs. Throughout the show, Constellation presets are recalled from a cue list and controlled using the CueConsole.
