Audio technology from d&b audiotechnik is adding to the unique design of Taiwan’s newly developed Kaohsiung Music Center, providing it with the first KSL Soundscape installation in the world.
Kaohsiung Music Center (KMC), located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is the result of a local government initiative to rejuvenate the once industrial site. Now the modern, uniquely-shaped venue comprises a vast outdoor stage Hi-Breeze Square, four auditoriums and a large main stage, Hi-Ing Hall, which is seen as the most important symbol of the entire park.
The final auditorium is located outside the building on top of the bridge overlooking the Love River. Much like the auditoriums, the main stage can also be subdivided into smaller units, giving the centre greater flexibility in its hosting capabilities. The Music Center, which also functions as a tourist attraction, will primarily showcase musical performances and concerts.
Kaohsiung City Government worked with audio professionals and a consultant to design and specify a future-proof sound reinforcement system that would give guests an extraordinary sound experience.
The team recognised sound technologies advances towards object based audio and selected Soundscape as the most flexible high-performance solution available to suit the multi-purpose needs of the Center.
