Alcons appoints Blackroom as pro-ribbon partner
- Details
A passionate movie enthusiast and home cinema aficionado, in 2013 Anton Zadnepryannyy co-founded Cinemalounge and Acoustic Solutions. After seven successful years building these businesses from the ground up with his partners, Anton decided to create a new company, Blackroom, which focuses solely on premium, turnkey home cinema design and installation in Russia and overseas.
As well as design and installation, Blackroom manufactures its own acoustic treatment panels, soundproof doors and home cinema recliner chairs. Anton also hosts the only Russian home cinema YouTube channel, which has attracted over 27000 subscribers since 2019.
“My first experience of Alcons pro-ribbon systems was at the CEDIA Expo in 2016 and I was overwhelmed with performance of the system,” says Anton. “I never thought ribbon drivers could be so loud and so clear. Since then I visited every Alcons demo at the CEDIA and ISE trade shows. Each time was better than the last. It became clear that the Alcons CRMS system is something different - it delivers audio quality that my emotions feel, something ultra-lifelike, a new reference for my professional ears. At ISE2020, I made up my mind to get acquainted with Alcons’ co-founder Tom Back and do all I can to bring this experience to our clients in Russia.”
For Anton, Alcons pro-ribbon CRMS systems are more about the sound itself. They provide a benchmark of quality that all the other equipment Blackroom installs will complement.
“Alcons systems deliver a remarkably lifelike experience, with dynamics that we expect from only the best, purest reproduction. And that is just the beginning,” he says. “With the flexibility of the DSP and audiophile-grade Class D amplifier stages, Alcons pro-ribbon systems deliver everything I want for the level of excellence we work at. It’s truly next level compared to the regular ‘compression driver and some professional amplifiers’ systems that we are all used to.”
Tom Back, co-founder of Alcons Audio comments: “The announcement of Blackroom becoming Alcons Audio’s next pro-ribbon partner for the residential market, is completely in line with the rapidly growing global demand in our CRMS range of sound system solutions for the residential and studio market. Since we started in the custom install market a few years ago, we have been establishing a completely new distribution channel in the residential market, besides our cinema, pro-audio and touring channels.”
