Travis In Austin

It is simply amazing how they can create those nulls back stage, literally whisper quiet, with all that energy projected forward. Don't understand how it works, but it does work, like an invisible cone of silence. Travis

Hapoy Birthday!

I can explain it to you. Given how close we are to Hope time, ask me there. It's early now & I have to get ready to leave. One word for them (only my opinion) expensive for what they do. But I think they could fit for some people. I think what Richard says is very true. They can be a good fit for some situations but I think that is the exception rather than the rule. You definitely want to be well prepared before looking in that direction. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0192-reverse-mortgages

I think Don Richard and Bruce have hit the nail on the head, if it is the venue's equipment/sound reinforcement system it is will be their guy running the FOH mixing. It is luck of the draw on that. If it is an expensive system they are going to have a guy to protect it, if not, then it is pretty much someone who sucks at bartending or anyone else they can find. At the other extreame, traveling megashows, with major cost sound reinforcement have their own FOH mixers. Most major tours/artists rent the sound reinforcement systems through either a sound company or directly from the manufacturer. They will provide their own engineer as well that travel with the shows. When you are at the level of something like a Meyer Sound System, fully horn loaded system, they understand that you have to have top level people at mixing because the sound is so clear that you can hurt people before they fully realize it. Meyer is so advanced that when they install a system that sounds incredibly loud at FOH, they use rear firing sound to create nulls behind the stacks which allow crew and others to talk in a whisper standin right behind them. John Meyer got his start selling Klipsch before running into Steve Miller who needed equipment for Monterey Pop, and he is a major Klipsch fan if you haven't checked him out before.

Are you o.k.?

Seems he rubbed people the wrong way. That's funny

It is hard to tell from the brochure photo, but I think if you look close it is curved, and is basically square, which is Imax. If the estimated dimensions are correct, then it is too small for typical Imax which go to about 100'x100'. I am backtracking, I think that is a large Atmos system. Atmos can be configured for a L LC C RC R set up so that sound panning across the screen is smoother. Dolby recommends a five front speaker system on screens that are wider than 40'. That looks to be a 1.85:1 screen because of its squarer shape, can the fact that the L and R are near the edges of the screen. I am going to go with the wild, wild guess that this is a installation within the last year, and it is in India. Travis

Haven't read article, but familiar with Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Keep in mind Chad said the behind the screen shot was in Indiana. The brochure and the other photo I posted are front of the screen shots. If you are going to Pilgrimage in Hope next week you can ask Bonehead himself. You can also ask him if that is largest they have done. The brochure is probably an Imax theater, the ones I have been in are that size, and larger, and have steeper stadium seating. The top seats are almost eye level with the top of the screen, with seats sloping down to the bottom. This would explain the need for upper and lower L C R channels, to have complete coverage for top and bottom rows.

I thought this was a good genetal article about the current case and previous case. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/may/09/led-zeppelin-music-plagiarism-lawsuits-samples-chords-lyrics

Another Bonehead Special

so in a setup like that, do you think they are lcr and then two wides? or three center channels and then left and right. or dual left and right with a single center?? my guess would be three centers. I wondered the same thing. I think you are right, based on the info in the center OR they run 5 channels across the front in some professional applications? 11.1 for Pro Atmos?

Another Bonehead Special.

I believe the top paid NFL, NBA and MLB players out earn the top NFL players but all top NHL players like Crosby make multi-millions annually. I thought Gordie Howe left the NHL for Winterpeg, MB? WHL Houston Aeros, he signed a million dollar contract with them in early 70s so he could play with his two sons who were on that team. I believe the most he every made with Detroit was $100,000.
