Cinema installation specialists Sound Associates have a relationship with the Board extending back to 1986, and have periodically updated the replay systems as new sound platforms have been established. When they were recently called in to fit an AMX remote touch-screen system, they took the opportunity to recommend that the Board simultaneously upgrade its loudspeaker system. "While their screen frame was coming out it seemed to make a lot of sense," said Sound Associates’ Graham Lodge. "They needed higher quality and the ability to deal with modern digital soundtracks."
He recommended that they replace their old system (which dates back to 1986) with three of Martin Audio’s Screen 2 enclosures, driven passively. "We have used Martin Audio cinema systems many times in the past, and the new Stage speakers are positioned left, centre and right behind the perforated cinema screen."
Simple to install, and with a shallow profile minimizing space requirements, the Screen 2 is an ideal choice for preview theatres, offering 90° x 90° dispersion and a sensitivity of 98dB.
