The jewel in the crown of the new mega-complex is Screen 6, which is used for premieres. This auditorium has 840 seats and offers a screen in XXL format, and a sound system to match: the front system from Electro-Voice consists of five Variplex XL enclosures, while the surround system comprises 30 SL 12-2V units powered by 20 CPS 2 amplifiers. According to Eric Egenolf, sales director of Cine Project, the company responsible for installing the sound and projection equipment: "The cinema has been THX certified, for which it needed to satisfy extremely high standards of projection and sound quality."
Egenolf continues: "The standards for this project were unbelievably high. The aim was to create a cinema not only of national but also of international importance. To be sure of meeting these standards, we opted for Electro-Voice systems as we have had excellent experiences with them in the past. They are systems of the highest quality and they represent value for money. What's more, we know from our own experience that you get first class service and support from the company."
