TIMAX SOUNDHUB

In its Soundhub-S format the TiMax2 control software provides sound designers with an advanced real-time audio showcontrol machine for running live shows and events. The Soundhub-R version gives systems integrators and contractors a comprehensive set of audio routing, mixing, processing and playback resources with versatile remote control options. Each SoundHub system incorporates a scaleable multi-channel audio matrix and mix engine to handle multiple sources and multiple zones in a variety of performance and presentation AV installations ranging from museum, themed attraction, boardroom and hotel through to bars, clubs, theatre, opera, cruise ships and house of worship. The compact 2U TiMax SoundHub chassis provides 16 input and 16 outputs in analog or AES3 format which is expandable up to 64x64. Optional industry-standard audio networking interfaces include Cobranet and Ethersound and MADI. The system also provides input and output parametric EQ for source sweetening and room tuning, and built-in audio playback and recording up to 64-tracks. Every matrix crosspoint provides level adjustment for source mixing and zone distribution plus the TiMax speciality of individual crosspoint delay adjustment for creating multiple static or dynamically variable Haas-effect audio localisations. Accurate audio imaging is essential for directing a group of listeners to a specific performer on stage, a museum exhibit, or a presentation speaker. This helps a system provide intelligibility and message impact on top of uniform sound distribution. All this is programmed and configured with an external computer which can then be removed to allow the user local or remote access to presets and other functions under multi-level password security.
