Lido Cinema Upgrades to 7.1 Surround Sound System with JBL 7 Series Studio Monitors

Avid Automation and JPRO equip New Zealand’s iconic Lido Cinema with a state-of-the-art HARMAN Professional Solutions surround sound system to deliver world-class sound.
To create a more immersive movie-going experience for audiences, Avid Automation and JPROrecently upgraded the legendary Lido Cinema with a cutting-edge JBL by HARMAN surround sound system with 7 Series reference monitors.
 
Established in the 1920s, the Lido Cinema is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most prestigious cinemas. Originally opened as a single-screen art house cinema, the Lido expanded with a second 44-seat capacity theater known as The Lounge in 2005. The Lido recently decided to upgrade the aging 5.1 sound system in The Lounge to a state-of-the-art 7.1 surround sound system. Unable to place speakers behind the screen due to the rear-projection system in the Lounge, the Lido recruited the help of AV integrators Avid Automation and JBL distributor JPRO to install a custom solution. After surveying the location, Avid Automation and JPRO designed a HARMAN Professional Solutions surround sound system comprised of JBL 7 Series reference monitors.
 
“It’s always been a bit of a troublesome venue for speaker placement due to the rear-projection screen,” said Richard Dalton, Managing Director, The Lido. “We’ve had about three sound systems in there since it opened and none of them have been particularly good. The idea of working with the AV Integrator and JBL to create a custom solution was rather exciting. The amazing work in the Lounge has exceeded my expectations with a premium audio result—I love it.”
                                                      
Avid Automation and JPRO equipped The Lounge with class-leading JBL 708i reference monitors in the left, center and right channels in a bi-amplified configuration. JBL 708i monitors use Image Control Wave Guide and Next Generation Driver technology to deliver crystal-clear sound with even, balanced coverage. The smaller JBL 705i reference monitors are used as surround speakers to create a truly immersive listening experience. Avid Automation and JPRO designed custom JBL subwoofers to deliver smooth, powerful low-end during intense action scenes. The system is powered by Crown CDi 4|300 amplifiers, which feature advanced digital signal processing to ensure pristine sound in any environment. Equipped with DriveCore technology, CDi amps include JBL speaker tuning presets for quick and easy installation.
 
“Due to the layout requirement of the venue and the rear projection screen, I quickly realized that the image control waveguide of the JBL 7 Series monitors would be a perfect solution for the cinema,” said Paul Edlin, Designer and Sales Director, JPRO AVC. “The waveguide allows for a much wider sweet spot and greater accuracy in the audio spectrum for room-to-room consistency, especially in the critical dialogue range.”
 
“In order to create immersive entertainment experiences, iconic cinemas like the Lido require state-of-the-art AV solutions,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “We are pleased that HARMAN's JBL products are delivering theatrical-quality sound and extending the dynamics of larger-than-life stories. We thank Avid and JPRO for having confidence in HARMAN Professional Solutions to create an astounding theatre space, bringing Lido’s vision to reality.”
