Intu Lakeside s Leisure Realm immersed in Christmas Joy with TiMax and Meyer UK – Intu Lakeside’s new Leisure Realm, complete with unique immersive sound, light and multimedia environment, showcased its first seasonal update during the pre-Christmas shopping period. Designed by engineering consultants, Hoare Lea, the Leisure Realm features a multi-channel Meyer Sound audio system driven by the powerful spatial rendering and playback capabilities of TiMax SoundHub across its three distinct external zones.
The seasonal update evoked the spirit of Christmas. The bespoke sound design and music composition by Hoare Lea’s creative AV team used a mixture of sound FX, field recordings and re-scored traditional carols, spatially enhanced, panned and timed with TiMax to work with the sound system design and acoustic characteristics of each zone.
