Meyer Sound helps create an immersive educational experience at Life Campus

The extensive audiovisual equipment installed at the Life Campus includes more than 60 speakers Meyer Sound.

The complex of 5.400 square meters Life Campus is managed by the Life Foundation and was created with the mission of inspiring Danish schoolchildren to engage with research-based science education. To achieve this objective, it has sound equipment featuring sound systems. Meyer Sound, brand that distributes RMS Pro Audio.

The Life Campus was created to provide young Danish students with an opportunity to get involved in learning STEM disciplines. (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Field work and laboratory experiments are fundamental to scientific exploration, but Life Campus also has tools and resources to provide students with learning experiences in 360 degrees.

The facility's extensive audiovisual equipment and control networks, designed and installed by the consulting and integration firm Stouenborg, include a total of more than 60 altavoces Meyer Sound.

Located in Lyngby, next to the Technical University of Denmark, the complex of 5.400 square meters Life Campus is managed by the Life Foundation and was created with the mission of inspiring Danish schoolchildren to engage with research-based science education.

“The Life Foundation is an ambitious project that seeks to strengthen the knowledge and fascination of young students with natural sciences.”. We wanted to have the best technical elements in our educational center. That includes sound systems that provide extraordinary opportunities for sound support during teaching.”, explains Mogens Laursen Hastrup, Head of Campus AV Operations.

Colossal: an open space

For large group learning experiences, Life Campus offers the innovative Kolossalen, a large open space that can be divided into two separate rooms.

All walls can serve as projection screens using 11 projectors Panasonic y, to control acoustics, The surfaces are coated with a perforated metal material that helps maintain a reverberation time of 0,8 seconds, without losing intelligibility.

One side of the room, with a stepped surface, It is called Auditorium 180. Here the sound and images are oriented to one side with the column speakers CAL 96 de Meyer Sound, hidden behind the perforated surface of the 'screen-wall'.

These speakers use advanced beam-splitting steering technology to precisely tailor coverage in staggered seating areas..

The other half of space, when it is divided and closed, It is known as Auditorium 360. From an audio point of view, The most striking feature here is the dynamic spatial sound enabled by the powerful yet easy-to-handle layout and mixing tool. Spacemap Go de Meyer Sound.

Using an intuitive iPad interface, Spacemap Go allows the user to freely move sounds around and through space, directing them to 26 full-range speakers and four subwoofers.

“When designing this space, We consult with working groups of teachers and technical staff - he points out Anders Jorgensen, Stouenborg project manager-. They wanted to have a projection of 360 degrees. I recommended supporting the projection with dynamic spatial sound, when Spacemap Go had not yet been released”.

The Auditorium system 360 is formed by 12 surround speakers HMS-10 spread on the walls, with four more on the roof, along with compact speakers UP-4slim. Four subwoofers MM-10XP offer support at lower frequencies.

A key element to make the concept work, according to Jørgensen, was the flat profile of HMS-10.

“The speakers are hidden behind perforated walls and the HMS-10s were the only ones with the dimensions necessary to fit into the space allowed and the ability to project through the walls”.

According to Mogens Laursen Hastrup, “The multiple room allows us to present phenomena such as extreme weather, atomic structure or lunar landscapes, in completely new ways to stimulate student interest. The objective is that, when they leave Campus Life at the end of the day, “They think science is great and want to learn more.”.

Other Meyer Sound systems are installed throughout the campus, with ceiling speakers Ashby-8C in the three laboratory classrooms (eight in each), in the large meeting room (four) and in the hall (16).

in the canteen, music playback is supplied by two speakers MM-4XP and a subwoofer MM-10ACX.
