Introducing ConXion Cinema: A Masterclass in Audiovisual Integration

As part of the larger ConXion Studios project in Centurion, South Africa, Techmin proudly played a key role in delivering the innovative and multi-functional ConXion Cinema. This space is not just a typical live room—it has been meticulously designed to serve multiple high-performance roles. Functioning as both a world-class live recording room and a fully immersive Dolby Atmos cinema, ConXion Cinema exemplifies the convergence of professional audio and visual production at the highest level.

State-of-the-Art Technology at the Heart of ConXion Cinema

What sets ConXion Cinema apart is its blend of cutting-edge audio and visual technology, all housed within one meticulously treated room. At the center of the cinema setup is a stunning 185-inch Grandview Acoustically Transparent Screen that conceals the left, center, right, and subwoofer speakers. Behind this massive display is a carefully placed speaker array designed for Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 configuration, allowing for full surround and overhead sound coverage.

An Epson 4K Laser Projector delivers crystal-clear visuals, complementing the immersive audio powered by MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) connections running directly from the control room. This seamless integration allows studio engineers to master audio for film or evaluate playback in a real-world cinematic context—essential for high-end post-production workflows.

Audio in both the live room and the control room is driven through Linea Research amplification, powering a suite of PMC passive speakers that maintain consistency across listening environments. Metric Halo processors manage immersive audio rendering, ensuring that every project—whether music or film—is experienced in its full fidelity.

Expanding Capabilities: Live Video, SDI Integration, and Professional Synchronization

Beyond its primary functions, ConXion Cinema also supports advanced live video production. The space is equipped with SDI camera points, enabling high-resolution video capture and seamless audio-visual synchronization for live performances, music videos, broadcast productions, and real-time streaming. This makes it not only a hub for music and film work but also a powerful environment for hybrid media projects that demand flexibility and professional-grade execution.

The inclusion of SDI infrastructure allows for stable signal transmission over long distances without quality loss—an essential feature for a space intended to serve both local recording needs and remote production requirements. Whether capturing a full live band or hosting a cinematic premiere, ConXion Cinema offers a reliable platform for high-quality production.

Creative Lighting and Studio Ambience

Creating the right atmosphere in a creative space is just as important as technical capability. That’s why ConXion Cinema features dynamic, programmable LED lighting throughout the control room and live room. These custom ambient lighting systems can be tailored to suit different moods, enabling artists and engineers to fine-tune the visual atmosphere of the space during different stages of the creative process.

Whether setting a relaxed tone for late-night mixing sessions or creating dramatic lighting for live performance recordings, the lighting system contributes to an immersive and inspiring environment. It’s another example of how every detail in ConXion Cinema has been considered with both functionality and artistry in mind.

Setting New Standards: Innovation at ConXion Cinema

ConXion Cinema is more than just a technically advanced room—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when design, technology, and creativity come together. The facility represents a bold leap forward for the South African audio and film industries, offering a space where Dolby Atmos mastering, cinematic audio post-production, and real-time multimedia performance can coexist and thrive.

Designed by the team at Benjamin Pro Audio and fine-tuned by the acoustic craftsmanship of TMB Acoustics, the facility reflects a deep understanding of what modern creators require. With its immersive sound, flexible video integration, and future-proof infrastructure, ConXion Cinema is fast becoming a benchmark in the local and regional industry.

By pushing the boundaries of conventional studio design, Techmin—alongside our collaborators—has helped create a truly exceptional space. ConXion Cinema is not just a room; it’s a launchpad for innovation, creativity, and world-class production.
