Laboratories

This laboratory offers two central using options. One the one hand, the movie theater is a realistic environment for presenting high quality footage under controlled conditions. On the other hand, the recording studio can be used for professionally producing audio and especially music recordings.

In the movie theater setting, the footage can consist of commercial feature films or self-produced material. In accordance with the respective questioning, the footage can be manipulated experimentally. With a high-end projector (Sony VPL-VW1000ES), the footage can be presented in a 4k-resolution on a 150-inch screen. The impact of the images is supported by a 7.2 Surround Sound (Pioneer LX85), which is perfectly matched to the showroom. Mutually, cameras, microphones and, where applicable, peripheral physiological measuring devices, which are all capable of night vision, are ready to record the reactions of the audience, so all data is available at the same time for the evaluation.

In the recording studio area bands, small ensembles or soloists are able to record their music or speeches. Audio signals are conducted into a control room with a multicore cabling. The control room is equipped with a digital mixing console (Behringer X32), which feeds the data into a computer, as well as numerous high-quality microphones (Sennheiser E609 and E935, Beyerdynamic TG150d, EV RE320), professional studio monitors (M-Audio EX66) and control elements like Ableton Push and a master keyboard. That way, recordings in the context of a seminar can be created just as auditory stimulus material for studies. The acoustically prepared room offers an optimal surrounding for comprehensive recordings. It can be adjusted individually because of the big room and the portable acoustic elements.
