info loudspeaker's system

Posted by leonardosaltari@hotmail.it (A) on September 24, 2016 at 10:40:42

Hello,

My experience in the field is almost minimal. So, if my request is a little absurd, I apologize in advance. That said, I go straight to the point. I am passionate by many years of electronic music. I also compose a little bit, but nothing significant. I have always been "stuck" in limiting compositional methods (DAW) that never gave me satisfaction. Lately, however, I discovered the world of MaxMSP, installations and interactive performances and I discovered a new world. In particular, I would be interested in doing an installation in which the sound - in particular, SPACE - has a vital role. For this, I started to interest in 3D audio and its possible applications. What I'm looking for, roughly, it is a speaker system to experiment a bit with the three-dimensional audio. In my mind, this system would work as follows:

- What i would do is, in a small way, something like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvM-SxrMv6s
- It would be composed of at least 10 speakers
- It would be totally configurable: to one speaker i could assign one or more channels, as well as more speakers i could also assign a single channel etc ..
- Each speaker would easily movable and transportable: it should have the same ease of mobility of a microphone that is above its stand: no drills, screws, fixings to the wall etc.
- Should have the "rotating head" (is the right term? (Just like a microphone, who has the ability to be directed))
- The software to configure the channels and outputs should be, in a live situation, somehow controllable with MaxMSP or similar programs (no digital audio workstation, excluding ableton)
- Each speaker should have the possibility of being able to be raised in height (just like a microphone upon a stand, which can be adjusted in elevation).
- All the aesthetic discourse related to the speakers is secondary: they can also appear as roofless wires, does not interest me at all. I'm interested in making music.

To get started, it would also fine a medium-low level or even low level system. For now, I would be interested only in experience a little bit in my home. Then, as time goes on, i'll see.

Now, what I wonder is:

- Is there a commercially available system that has these characteristics? If yes, what is the cheapest? If not, is there the possibility of putting separate speakers together to "build" that system?

For now, I'll stop here, but i'm available to any clarification.

Thank you,
Leonardo.
