UK theatre sound automation specialists Out Board has appointed Sound Works Supplies Ltd as Hong Kong & PRC distributor for the TiMax2 SoundHub audio showcontrol matrix and TiMax Tracker performer tracking system.

Folowing the appointment, SWS principals Freddie To and Daniel Chan hosted a TiMax Workshop in Hong Kong where Out Board Director Robin Whittaker demonstrated the principles of TiMax delay based Source-Orientated Reinforcement to around 40 guests. Delegates learnt how continuously varying audio localisation could be applied to wireless vocal mics using the TiMax2 SoundHUb dynamic delay matrix, and how this could be automated via continuous control by Out Board’s market-leading TiMax Tracker performer tracking system.

TiMax2 SoundHub’s sound effects and playback server capabilities were also demonstrated using multiple atmos and spot effects played off the units internal harddrive, with looping, editing, gain profiling, delay panning and synchronised showcontrol events all programmed in the system’s new S-Version Timeline environment.

‘We’ve been fortunate to have strong representation building the TiMax brand in the Hong Kong & PRC territories in the past, and I’m confident this strategic move to a company with the pedigree and reach of Sound Works Supplies will shift our market penetration to an even higher level,’ says Out Board Director, Dave Haydon.
