Second year for TiMax at Opel corporate event

Spain - For the second year running, Blitz Communications have taken advantage of Out Board’s TiMax Production Support program to include advanced TiMax audio imaging as part of the complex audio-visual support for Opel’s European Conference event. In Valencia this spring, Blitz’s Richard Rogers chose TiMax to provide speech localisation for radio mics worn by several presenters positioned around the brand launch arena for this year’s Opel Meriva and Signum product rollouts to the motor trade. Using its Haas-Effect delay-based imaging, TiMax applied independent level/delay relationships between every mic and each distributed loudspeaker to ensure accurate localization for all audience members to maximize intelligibility and message impact.

Last year’s event in Barcelona was quite different, where Blitz used TiMax to provide atmospheric soundscapes and audio animation to support dynamic multimedia ‘sting’ and ‘reveal’ sequences for the launch of the new Opel Vectra brand to international distributors and dealers. Locked to SMPTE timecode via its show control software, TiMax focused and spread dramatic music spots between narrow and wide stereo images created for each of four reveal stages, all fully synchronized to a master video host.
