[ATTACH=CONFIG]199652.vB5-legacyid=11360[/ATTACH]Cinema 8 – everything under one roof.
In early November the brand new Cinema 8 Complex was opened in Schöftland, Switzerland. Restaurants, bars, a hotel and bowling alley can all be found under one roof alongside an open-air cinema and a total of four movie theatres of the highest acoustic standard. Hanno Ziesche of AudioSonic GmbH was responsible for the room acoustics as well as the conceptualization of the loudspeaker system. Each of the four cinemas was fitted with the new Dolby Atmos® system and is exclusively equipped with Fohhn loudspeaker systems.
130 Fohhn Linea LX-100 line source speakers were installed for optimum sound reinforcement and the best possible realisation of Dolby Atmos®. Furthermore 30 Fohhn AT-50 speakers, 20 Fohhn D-4.1200 power amps, six Fohhn PS-9 subwoofers, more than 40 Fohhn D-4.750 power amps, 12 Fohhn AS-40 subwoofers, 24 Fohhn AT-35 speakers and 44 Fohhn CS-10 ceiling speakers were integrated. Every loudspeaker complies with the high Dolby standards. Even during the installation stage the perfect implementation of Dolby Atmos® with Fohhn speaker systems was highly praised by the Cinema 8 operators and Dolby controllers alike. But audiences, too, are most enthusiastic about the sound of the cinemas and speak of an entirely novel cinematic experience.
Dolby Atmos® – A new dimension of Surround Sound.
Dolby Atmos® is an audio format that does not only rely on channel based audio, but rather on audio objects as well. This means that in Dolby Atmos® each single sound – be it for example a helicopter, a scream, human noises or music – exists as an individual audio object free from channel restrictions. Consequently an audio object can be placed and moved anywhere in the sound field – even to the ceiling of the auditorium. Thus the audience experiences wrap-around sound in a three-dimensional space; the sound flies in perfect synchronicity with the picture around and above the audience, creating an immersive and realistic movie experience with amazing clarity, detail and depth. The sounds fill the entire theatre, the viewer is immersed in the movie. Dolby Atmos® supports up to 128 independent, simultaneous audio objects and up to 64 separate loudspeaker signals in a mix of rich, realistic and stunning sound.
