Genius Immersive Experience
20-05-2022Since the end of January, Berlin has been enriched by an extraordinary exhibition: the Genius Immersive Experience about Leonardo DaVinci. Offering visitors an interpretation of how DaVinci would see and interact with our world today, the exhibition is designed as an immersive, interactive, AV art experience. Amptec was responsible for providing the audio equipment and installing the d&b Soundscape system.
For this setup, we installed 32 10S-D loudspeakers, mounted as a ring above the huge screen throughout the room. In addition, six 18A and one 21S subwoofers were placed at the centre. At the cube in the centre of the large hall, three 8S loudspeakers on the outside and two 8S inside the cube were installed.
"To achieve a perfect result, we had to keep an exact distance between the speakers and a precisely calculated angulation," says Frank Geerts, Business Unit Manager PA & Theatre at Amptec. "This precision allowed us to create a perfect immersive experience that allows the visitors to directly interact with this stunning environment, addressing all their senses."
Our technical team managed by Steven Aerts programmed the DS100 signal engine and created various presets. The Soundscape system is designed in such a way that it can easily be reproduced in other locations, a crucial requirement as the show will be visiting other countries around the world. "To my knowledge, this approach is pretty unique, as immersive show concepts are usually only ever designed for a single venue. By coming up with this model, the end user is able to simply deploy the original concept to any venue," Geerts adds.
The DS100 Signal Engine from d&b audiotechnik sits at the heart of the Soundscape system. In addition to the DS100 three DS10 Audio Network Bridges are used for the Genius system design, which serve as an interface between the Dante network and digital AES3 audio signals.
Genius DaVinci will be in Berlin until 29 May 2022 and the innovative multimedia exhibition will be on show in 12 other locations in Europe and the USA until 2025.
