Digital Cinema experts will be on hand at stand 812 to answer all
questions relating to the speaker brand CINE SOUND LAB. We are looking to
establish contact with international distributors whose main emphasis is on
reliability and the highest levels of quality. System integrators are
comprehensively trained to ensure that the CINE SOUND LAB name is synonymous
with perfect performance and outstanding audio experience in all movie theater
installations.
CINE
SOUND LAB is a new movie theater speaker brand distributed throughout Europe by
Amptown System Company. The speaker types available include the Boxer series
with 15" subwoofers for large buildings, the Challenger (10" chassis)
series for smaller areas and the Longbow series for areas with longer floor
plans. The two-way systems function as point sources with high phase fidelity
and offer linear reproduction. Appropriately designed low-mid extensions offer
support in the reproduction of low centers. An 18" subwoofer ensures optimal
reproduction of low-frequency sounds.
Although
the low-resonance multiplex casing is compact in size, all CINE SOUND LAB
speakers are extremely effective and offer the same excellent level of sound
for both low and high audio levels. The
generous headroom ensures that the entire dynamic range from whispered dialogue
to massive explosions is reproduced in perfect audio quality and free of
distortion.
The
various CINE SOUND LAB speakers all sound the same and can therefore be
combined as required to ensure that every movie theater can find the right
solution for its individual needs.
Here are
four good reasons why movie theater operators should invest in CINE SOUND LAB
speakers:
Acoustic Transparency
The
sound reproduction qualities of CINE SOUND LAB front speakers were optimized
during the development phase through practical tests for installation behind
modern PVC projection screens. The screen presents no problems for the horns
which have a radiation angle of 110 x 60 and are specially designed for CINE
SOUND LAB, and is acoustically transparent, so the vast, perforated PVC surface
has no noticeable impact on sound quality. Thanks to the special design of the
speaker, which is based on scientific evidence, every sound nuance effortlessly
reaches the audience in all of its glory. This ensures clear stereo sound for
every seat in the house, even in particularly wide movie theaters. The clever
semi-gimbaled arrangement enables the speakers to be positioned with great
precision, independently of the projection screen frame.
Full-Range Surround Sound
One
the main benefits of CINE SOUND LAB systems is that the surround speakers can
fully reproduce a frequency range from 40 Hz to 18 kHz. In contrast to obsolete
analog optical sound formats with severely limited dynamics, such as Dolby
Stereo, modern digital soundtracks are not limited in bandwidth in their
frequency range. Full-range speakers are absolutely essential to enable the
precise reproduction of meticulously created sound as well as its low-frequency
components in modern film mixes. This is also a major benefit for the latest 3D
audio formats such as Dolby Atmos or Auro-3D.
Due
to physical reasons, specific casing dimensions for speakers are vital in order
to enable the reproduction of low frequencies. Arrays of several small boxes
lead to undesired phase problems which can result in cancellations and
discoloration.
Thanks
to the wide radiation angle of 110 degrees of CINE SOUND LAB speakers, fewer
speakers are required than in the case of rival products. All surround sound
information is reproduced precisely according to the original intention of the
sound mixer working on the film. Razor-sharp precision is also reproduced
masterfully, such as a desired audio diffusion without direct locatability.
Custom-Designed AmplificationHigh-performance,
perfectly coordinated amplifiers are available for CINE SOUND LAB speakers. The
dual-channel class D/H power amplifiers have both analog and digital input
(AES/EBU), enabling a consistent digital signal flow without any loss of sound
in movie theaters. Established structures with processors such as Dolby CP750
can be connected to an analog input using conventional cables.
DSP
modules are integrated in the high-performance, high-end amplifiers, enabling perfectly
balanced signal equalization with maximum precision (56 bit word length) and
making the use of external hardware controllers redundant. The settings are
configured according to accepted standards during installation by expert ASC
movie theater technicians as well as according to the individual conditions of
the particular theater, and these settings will not need to be modified again.
There is no chance of inappropriate presets occurring with resulting sound
impairment.
Uncompromising Quality
In
movie theaters of all sizes, CINE SOUND LAB system components meet the highest
sound requirements, while retaining their value and offering an exceptional
level of cost-effectiveness in comparison to certain American products. All
CINE SOUND LAB components have the "Made in Germany" quality seal,
and the manufacturer offers a five-year guarantee based on stringent quality
controls of products manufactured through the German art of engineering.
