DM goes immersive with JBL and Crown
- Details
DM Cinema is the first cinema in Aizawl. With comfortable seating for up to 140, a full-sized cinema screen and a 2K projection system capable of showing 3D films, DM Cinema provides an immersive experience for movie-goers. In order to ensure comprehensive coverage throughout the theatre, DM Cinema hired CineTech Engineering Works to install an audio system featuring JBL loudspeakers and Crown amplifiers.
“Being the first cinema in Aizawl, this was a huge breakthrough in the northeast,” said Asad Rashid, owner, CineTech Engineering Works. “The support from the Harman Professional Solutions team was commendable, and enabled us to complete the installation within the designated time frame.
“For the installation at DM Cinema, we had to create a design that would have a shallow profile and produce quality cinema sound in a less-than-perfect acoustical environment. We decided to install JBL Professional C222 cinema loudspeakers along with JBL Professional 4642A cinema subwoofers and 8320 cinema surround speakers, powered by Crown DSi amplifiers and a JBL Professional CPi2000 cinema sound processor.”
CineTech installed JBL C222 ScreenArray cinema loudspeakers as the main left, centre and right speakers.
To provide even, balanced coverage for every member of the audience, CineTech installed JBL 8320 cinema surround speakers. For additional low-frequency support, JBL 4642A dual-driver subwoofers were added.
The system is powered by Crown DSi 4000, DSi 2000 and DSi 1000 amplifiers. To provide staff with an easy-to-use means of controlling the system, CineTech equipped the theatre with a JBL CPi2000 cinema processor.
Zodintluanga Hmar, owner, DM Cinema, comments: “We love the output the system provides, as it makes for an ideal experience for our audiences. The Harman team helped us throughout the entire project, and we'd recommend other theatres to work with them too.”
