The space itself is around 42 m (137 ft.) long and 15 m (49 ft.) wide with a high-ceiling and a glass roof that covers around two-thirds of the building, making it an extremely challenging acoustic space.

Building on this, the aesthetics of the room were paramount. To ensure that everything matched the game, Cloud Imperium tasked Scan Pro Audio with creating a 7.1 surround system based on line-arrays that would evenly cover the entire space while providing powerful stadium-quality sound pressure levels.

Further supporting this, the fills and delays needed to be fully blend into the background. Equally, all the cabling had to be hidden from view, all the way to the AV room behind the 8 m (26 ft.) by 4 m (13 ft.) screen.

Voyager Bar now delivers exactly what it promises: stadium-quality sound pressure levels in a space where not a single loudspeaker is visible. The room looks precisely as it does in the game, and it sounds the part too, wrapping the space evenly from every angle, anchored by a center channel that holds its own at the heart of the action without ever breaking the illusion.

The MXE5 keeps connectivity to new elements straightforward, and added functionality can be as simple as enabling a feature in SONICUE rather than installing hardware.

The result is a 24-channel, 7.1 surround room that reproduces the audio environment of the game while staying invisible, and a control surface the end user runs without technical support.
