LPMA-1000 is the innovative solution for sound image localization, and more!

Sound Image Localizer

Up to now, sound images of individual performers has been mixed all together, which makes it difficult for the audience to distinguish them by hearing. For example, in a dark stage, it happens commonly that audience lose the track of an actor even in the case they could hear his or her voice and they may be embarrassed. This is because the location of the sound image of the actor is fixed at the same place regardless of the actor's movement on the stage. To avoid this, the actor may do some extra actions, or may move into the central region of the stage to get attention of the audience. These make difficult for the audience to concentrate and the performance may become boring in the end.

Recently, multi-channel audio system is prevailing in home and cinema. However the sound reinforcement system for microphones in theater is providing only one dimensional monotonic sound! LPMA-1000 is the solution to provide real time, live stereo sound for individual actors on stage automatically according to their locations. LPMA-1000 is the enabler for interactive and improvised performance with intelligent features using the positions and motions of players. LPMA-1000 will differentiate the performance from the existing ordinary ones.
