[AURA WFS](AURA%20WFS.md) [XR Studio Audio](XR%20Studio%20Audio.md) ____ ## Digital Media Center Theatre The Meyer system has 71 channels across 89 speakers (a number of the outside ring of speakers are in pairs to diffuse localization. Image of the speaker number and placement is below.  It’s also the space in the pictures of the AURA WFS below.  Those pictures are taken from the back row of the theatre - around where speaker 69 is located. Up to 40 audio channels can be fed into the system at once and then placed in any arrangement of speakers.  We have a number of typical setups already programmed (Atmos 7.1.4, 5.1, 7.1, 8.1, stereo, super-stereo, etc) as well as a number of spacemap arrangements with all of the speakers where you can take a channel and simply place it at the location you want.  Once the pieces have been chosen we can work out a couple of arrangements for you to listen to and choose the one you like.  Info about the space can be viewed here: https://emdm.cct.lsu.edu/research/sound-spatialization/  ____ ## The AURA WFS System The AURA WFS system is described in detail here: https://theaura.keremergener.com/ Important points distilled below: Each module contains 8 drivers at 12.5cm spacing - so 8 per meter. For concerts in the DMC Theatre the setup is as follows: - 16m => 128 drivers - RME Madiface interface channels 1-128 (audience left to right) - Subwoofer channels are available for any less-localized low frequencies you would like to have reinforced.  - depending on how a piece is constructed - it can be run live - provide us with multichennel wave files or 128 mono wave files to play back - or we can work with you on decoding the piece for the system. - note: the speakers will block the view of the very bottom of the projection screen.  The setup is the same as this one in Kerem Ergener’s dissertation talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8wA7YaA-hQ Image excerpts of the setup:
