Goldenduck Group

Mingalar Cinemas is
Myanmar’s largest movie theater chain with twenty-seven locations across eight
cities. Mingalar also owns and operate the first high-definition Gold
Class cinema in the country, which features three halls with luxurious,
automatic reclining seats and cutting-edge visuals. In order to deliver premium
sound in their Gold Class theaters, Mingalar entrusted Goldenduck Group, a
leading supplier of professional cinema equipment, with installing a
cutting-edge JBL Professional cinema audio system.
“Mingalar wanted to
offer an immersive entertainment experience with excellent audio quality,” said
Sittiporn Srisanguansakul, Owner, Goldenduck. “The HARMAN sound systems we installed offer the uniform coverage and expansive
dynamic range required for digital sound formats in modern cinemas. By using
HARMAN products, we were able to provide Mingalar with a cost-effective
solution that helped them extend a realistic audio experience to their
visitors.”
Goldenduck selected JBL
Professional cinema loudspeaker systems for their extended frequency response,
reliable operation and accessibility. JBL 4722 Two-Way ScreenArray™ Cinema
Loudspeaker Systems provide a smooth and accurate reproduction of cinema
soundtracks. High-quality JBL 4641 subwoofers deliver smooth, powerful low-end
for scores and sound effects. Wall-mounted JBL 8320 Compact Cinema Surround
Speakers offer clarity, detail, and depth in a compact enclosure. The systems
are powered by Crown DSi 1000 and DSi 2000 power amplifiers.
“We have been using
HARMAN’s audio fixtures for a long time, and the quality and reliability of the
brand is highly appealing,” said Zayar Zaw, Executive Director of Mingalar
Group. “Mingalar Cinemas Gold Class is the first Gold Class cinema and the
first with all Gold Class theaters in Myanmar. We were looking to extend a
uniform movie-watching experience with excellent audio quality having full
360-degree coverage and undistorted reproduction of dynamic movie soundtracks.
HARMAN’s effective products met all our distinct requirements.”
“Sound improvements
play a crucial part in creating spatially-dynamic entertainment
