Custom designed for the Herzog, the Meyer Sound system is anchored by Acheron screen channel loudspeakers featuring a sonic linearity and accuracy that defines CEO John Meyer's philosophy of sound reproduction. Scheduled for 4-7 September, the 2015 festival will be the fifth year that the two renowned Bay Area organizations have partnered to create the best venue for film.
"Part of the Telluride magic is that we offer extraordinarily special film experiences on all fronts-from the initial curation, to the visual projection, to the experience of sound," says Julie Huntsinger, Telluride Film Festival executive director. "John Meyer is a true visionary in the sound world, and Meyer Sound's valued partnership with our festival demonstrates the commitment of both organizations to providing the absolute best for our audiences."
John Meyer says, "With Acheron, we are now able to offer the cinema audience the aural equivalent to a 4K visual. More and more, film audiences are starting to realize that sound matters. Though the importance of sound in film has long lagged behind the visual, Telluride's Werner Herzog Theatre offers a rare opportunity for fans and stars to set aside their 'roles' and truly experience film as the director and sound artists intended. It is an honor to showcase our cinema technology to such a discerning audience."
