Christie joined the best display of the Empire Cinemas chain Live Audio The British display installed Christie audio solution in the largest of Hemel Hempstead (England) complex premium Panel: the Impact Blue room.
Empire Cinemas, in Hemel Hempstead, has become the first large British exhibitor to incorporate Live Audio solution of Christie. Today, the chain of movie theaters, with their 186 screens in 18 complexes is the largest property in the United Kingdom, is immersed in a deep process of remodeling of its multiplexes from Hemel Hempstead.
The company I was looking for the best audio solution for your latest Premium of Hemel Hempstead complex screen: the Impact Blue room. With Live Audio, Dolby Atmos sound surround is now loud and clear to each and every one of the 185 seats of the Hall, dipping so squarely to the viewer in an extraordinary cinematic experience.
"Our Impact rooms have a fabulous patio of armchairs, a spectacular display of large format and space extra between seats to stretch your legs." To make the viewers experience total we needed the best sound. So the overall experience of the Premium offer to feel like something different audio was a fundamental aspect,"says Andre Mort, technical director for Empire Cinemas.
"And we decided to live because we wanted something different, that fits in the aesthetics of the room but, above all, to provide the best sound that, ultimately, is what it is. I must say that the result is excellent", he adds.
Empire Cinemas sent the initial sketches to Christie, and both companies were put to work hand in hand in search of an optimum design solution. The Dolby Atmos installation uses ceiling speakers ceiling ribbon driver technology, equipped with a unique parabolic design of linear array that allows a wide dispersion of sound that dramatically improves the experience of listening to each locality. In the room were installed LA4 and LA3 linear array speakers, providing a linear large - 120 horizontal dispersion - and patterns of vertical dispersion of 35 very controlled, ensuring that the sound reaches exactly where you have to get.
The Live Audio of Christie range offer all the speakers needed to equip any movie theater with a high-quality audio system. Designed specifically for film sound, speakers feature very latest generation technologies and the most advanced design concepts in the service of a cinematic audio dynamic and focused on the detail. But in addition, ribbon driver of Christie technology offers enhanced clarity, very low distortion and an ultra-fast transient response. The solution is compatible with the main audio formats of digital cinema, including Dolby Atmos, 5.1/7.1 surround and Auro 11.1.
The Impact room incorporates the patented design Impact of Empire Cinemas, which guarantees an experience more immersive, creative and vivid interiors with comfortable seats. Impact cinemas cinema lovers offer a perfect setting to immerse themselves in what happens on screen. Empire Cinemas show delighted with the performance of Live Audio, they will repeat the experience and installed the Live Audio speakers in a new room Impact that expected to open this summer. Whats more: display giant shuffles the idea of implementing this system in other rooms.
La acogida de nuestros clientes al nuevo sistema de sonido no pod a ser mejor. Est n impresionados con el sonido. Trabajar con Christie es un placer: siempre que hemos necesitado su asistencia han estado ah , concluye Andre.
