The Daughter of the Party

CADAC Immersive Sound Conveys Opera Charm

On November 18th, the 13 day "Central Plains Opera Week" came to a successful conclusion in Zhengzhou, Henan. This Opera Week was led by renowned tenor singer Dai Yuqiang, Dean of Henan Conservatory of Music at Zhengzhou University, as the artistic director, bringing multiple high-level artistic feasts to the audience.

Among them, the performance of the classic red play "Daughter of the Party" was performed using CADAC's latest immersive sound amplification system. This system achieves three-dimensional reconstruction of sound and image through spatial sound field restoration and precise control of sound and image, combined with immersive sound algorithm and variable reverberation technology. It perfectly integrates sound with stage movements and visual scenes, allowing the audience to feel a three-dimensional, natural, and strongly surrounded sound field experience at any position, and obtain a sense of presence like being in a music hall.

The design of this immersive sound amplification system revolves around the following four core objectives:

·Realize an immersive auditory experience with balanced listening and natural sound and image for the entire audience;

·Balancing the clarity of language dialogue and the artistic expression of music in opera performances;

·Enhance the acoustic plasticity of the performance space, providing directors and sound engineers with a broader creative space;

·Create a replicable and promotable demonstration project for immersive sound systems in theaters.

The sound reinforcement system consists of CADAC's IMMERSI X immersive sound space audio server, classic digital mixing console CDC8, and King of Music sound reinforcement system (including main amplifier, ultra-low frequency, and surround speakers).

IMMERSI X

The core of the system adopts the IMMERSI X immersive sound space audio server of CADAC, based on the HOA (high-order omnidirectional sound field reconstruction) algorithm, to achieve three-dimensional localization and sound field restoration of spatial sound images. This server supports future expansion tracking and real-time audio-visual control functions, suitable for various stage art forms, and has a dual machine hot backup mechanism to ensure the safety and stability of the entire performance.

CDC8

The main control mixing console adopts CADAC's classic digital mixing console CDC8, which supports up to 128 channels of input and complex routing settings. It seamlessly connects with the immersive sound server through network audio protocols to achieve precise distribution and real-time control of multi-channel audio, meeting the mixing needs of large-scale opera productions.

The on-site sound reinforcement equipment used is the Sound King sound system, which is combined with CADAC immersive sound technology to create an immersive sound field with strong surround sound.

The sound is no longer just coming from the stage, but from the entire space, as if you are in an opera house. This system runs stably, with even sound coverage and a natural and transparent listening experience. Thank you very much to CADAC for allowing the charm of opera art to be transmitted more beautifully. ”After the performance, Dai Yuqiang, Dean of Henan Conservatory of Music at Zhengzhou University, commented as follows.

Through this performance, CADAC successfully integrated traditional opera art with modern audio technology, significantly enhancing the auditory experience of live audiences and showcasing the broad application prospects of immersive sound technology in drama, symphony, and large-scale cultural performances. In the future, CADAC will continue to explore more possibilities in stage art and audio-visual technology, bringing audiences a more emotionally penetrating artistic enjoyment.
