AES Pacific Northwest Section – Multi-Channel Spatial Audio, A Case Study of a Planetarium Audio Upgrade
We welcome everyone at Pacific Northwest AES meetings and registration is free.
Our June meeting will describe the problems and pleasures of designing and installing a new sound system into the venerable Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center in New York City’s American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. If you’ve ever seen the movie, “Manhattan,” you’ve (briefly) seen the inside of the original structure, which was demolished in 1997 and rebuilt. Here is a glimpse of the new structure, which opened in 2000.
Luke was part of the design team for the 67.5.1 sound system and he’ll talk about how it replaced an existing 23.1 system. A project requirement was for the new system to be compatible with the existing collection of beloved 23.1 recordings and needing to fulfill a variety of different needs when not specifically augmenting the sky-representational needs of the planetarium. Luke will describe the problems and solutions encountered throughout the project.
Before the meeting begins, we’ll hold our annual Section business meeting where we conduct any necessary Section business and the election of Officers and Committee members. We need a quorum in order to conduct this portion of the meeting, so if you’re a Member or Associate Member, please attend this part of the meeting.
Time above listed in event local time.
