The EBC show room is 150 m2 and suited for a lot of different applications, including internal meetings and LOGIC PRO training. Therefore, a versatile and high-performance HD audio and video system was required. After testing many systems, the sheer quality and great sound of the Dynaudio Acoustics AIR and BM series swept away all other competitors. Further, APPLE also requested a full digital setup all the way through the computers to the monitoring.

The first steps...

APPLE’s show room can be divided into two parts – 1/3 and 2/3 of the full size respectively. When divided, the room is partitioned by a mobile, acoustic wall providing 47db of attenuation, which means that both parts of the room can be used simultaneously for different activities.

The full EBC room is equipped with two AIR 25, one AIR 20 for the LCR channel, one AIR BASE 24 sub and four AIR 12 monitors, enabling the system to handle 5.1 surround sound completely within the digital domain via the AES protocol. Further, the AIR remote makes the system switchable between surround and stereo mode as well as between various user presets stored within the system.

The first test - we have sound and picture....

Also, when the room is divided, a smaller 5.1 surround system – consisting of Dynaudio Acoustics BM5A speakers and a BM9S subwoofer – is available.

All AIR monitor’s EQ and other settings are stored in the system and can be recalled at all times to suit any current activity as per request by APPLE.

The BIG plasma is in place...

Both the Dynaudio Acoustics AIR system and the BM5A system are installed around a PANASONIC 103’’ plasma screen, and both systems use a TC Electronic Digital Konnekt x32 – a powerful digital format converter and management system – for all input sources going to the Dynaudio monitors.
In essence, Digital Konnekt x32 controls all ADAT/SPDIF/TOS LINK inputs going via AES to the digital Dynaudio 5.1 surround sound systems.

TC Electronic and Dynaudio Acoustics France are very proud to be delivering the audio equipment to the EBC show room that demands nothing but the very finest in the world of digital audio.
