GENEVA – SEAT S.A., a Spanish subsidiary of Volkswagen's Audi Brand Group, debuted several new car models at the Geneva Motor Show with a performance by Shakira. Pere Capell of BTM Sound specified an Out Board TiMax2 SoundHub for the multi-channel sound system used at the event.
TiMax2 SoundHub was used as the system matrix to tie together the exhibition stand's distributed presentation system and a concert sound system used for the press launch.
The PA for the press launch included five Meyer Sound M'elodie line arrays and two M1D arrays including subs, which the TiMax delay-matrix blended with a distributed system consisting of 14 Meyer CQ1 and nine Meyer UPA-powered enclosures. TiMax also provided grouped system EQ and level profiling across the booth's multiple overlapping zones.
Audio sources into TiMax included live microphones for presenters and Shakira via Yamaha digital consoles, 7.1 surround playback stems from HD video players, plus music and effects stings from ProTools and Denon CD decks.
The principle creatives and system designers were Jorg Rapp and Michael Schwartzer of Adhoc based in Cologne, Germany. The main AV contractor was Avega of Madrid.
