Alcorn McBride has joined forces with Oceaneering Entertainment Systems to develop ‘AmpTraXX’ – a DSP-enabled 16-channel ride vehicle amplifier.
“We told Alcorn that the ride market needed a better ride vehicle amplifier product, and they quickly understood what we were talking about,” said Matt Kent, head of creative services at Oceaneering Entertainment Systems.
“Before AmpTraXX we had to specify separate marine amplifier and playback units and make more room inside the vehicles to accommodate them. Now, we have a complete audio system from Alcorn consisting of the AM4 audio playback unit and the new AmpTraxx amplifier.”
The new product is intended as a companion to Alcorn’s ‘RideTraXX’ 16-channel solid-state audio playback system and ‘TourTraXX’ GPS-triggered multi-channel audio player. Applications include not only theme park ride vehicles but also multi-lingual transportation systems and tour buses.
AmpTraXX will make its debut on board Oceaneering’s newest product, ‘EVO-6’, a full-programmable, fully motion-based six-passenger tracked ride system. It will also be on display at the IAAPA Attractions Expo, being held between November 18-21 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
