Canadian radio captures five times the listening time of ad-supported Spotify
If you’ve been lucky enough to install a 5.1 surround system into your production studio or gone beyond that in a $$ home theater surround system, well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
The Rhode Island School of Design’s Studio for Research in Sound and Technology sports a 25.4 setup powered by Genelec speakers.
Consisting of 25 8050B studio monitors and four HTS4B home theater subwoofers, it’s not all popcorn and date night. “As a hub for research, the studio facilitates experimentation for faculty, staff, and students, aiming for outcomes suitable for peer-reviewed publication, presentation at conferences and festivals, and other forms of dissemination. The SRST hosts guest lectures and workshops led by designers, artists, and technologists, offering a dynamic platform for engagement with industry professionals and cross-institutional research networks,” a release said.
RISD Professor Shawn Greenlee explained, “Whereas my trajectory was starting with stereo, and then working my way up to higher possibilities like surround with more speakers, students are now coming in and immediately thinking about audio in a three-dimensional way in terms of composition. They’re able to place sounds in X, Y and Z coordinates and have them move around the space, while thinking about simulation of environmental sound and so forth.”
