American Zoetrope Upgrades to Meyer Sound Cinema Experience
American Zoetrope, the
film studio created and used by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1970,
recently completed the mix of Sofia Coppola’s upcoming film “Somewhere” using
their new Meyer Sound Cinema Experience monitoring system. This same system was
used to mix Mr. Coppola’s 2009 release of “Tetro”.
“I’m very impressed
with the effortless power and clarity of sound of the Meyer Sound cinema
system,” says Francis Ford Coppola. “If only every theatre had a system like
this they would have the same remarkable experience I have on my
stage.”
The Meyer Sound Cinema Experience system, based on the Acheron
screen channel loudspeakers, which has been installed in Zoetrope’s mixing
stage, is part of a complete, integrated cinema sound line that enables sound
designers and mixers to achieve unprecedented range and clarity of sound – and
for audiences to truly experience films as they were intended to be heard by the
filmmaker.
