Let people hear
your layout
Street ambience, a platform announcement or commentary on an exhibit. Place sound at the right moment and connect it with what is happening on your layout.
Three sound zones surround the model of a city square.
Ambience, announcements and effects at the right moment
Sound creates
a sense of place and mood
Audio can accompany the entire show or play only when a selected event occurs.
Multiple tracks
Separate ambient sounds, announcements and short effects. Each layer has a different role in the scene.
Timeline cues
Place sounds at selected moments in the show alongside lighting and movement actions.
Smooth fade in and out
Use fade in and fade out to bring ambience in and out smoothly.
Audio zones
Organise sounds by location on the layout. The physical arrangement of zones depends on your audio setup.
Announcements and narration
Add an announcement, an exhibit description or guidance for visitors.
Language versions
Prepare recordings in different languages and use the appropriate version in the show.
How will you use it
on your layout?
Morning at the station
An announcement plays over the sounds of the platform. The arrival of a train becomes another part of the scene.
A street after dark
Quiet city ambience accompanies the street lights coming on. Short sounds highlight selected events.
An exhibit tells its story
Commentary guides visitors through the presentation, synchronised with lighting and movement.
From a file
to sound
This is the functional sequence: a file is added to a scene, and the prepared audio system plays it at the layout. Actual wiring depends on the playback device, amplifier and speakers.
