Christie reviews a year of worldwide success with Vive
A reputation that Christie Vive Audio continues to cement around the world. The proof is that it is already installed in cinemas in 34 countries, a success that confirms the support it gives to 15 Dolby Cinema installations around the world, such as the Dolby Vine research and development facility in Hollywood.
The usefulness of Christie Vive Audio is not limited to movie theaters. It is currently also installed in educational centers, such as the Film School of the University of Southern California or Morehouse College, and in numerous places of worship.
Rod Stoddard, President of Christian Sound Services, said: "Christie Vive Audio's ribbon driver technology and effective linear matrix design offer exceptional coverage and great clarity in dialogue, making it the best sound system for temples and houses of worship in our client portfolio. Thanks to its efficiency, with fewer speakers we offer better results and a clearer sound."
Post-production studios such as Mocha Chai Laboratories (MCL), Singapore's first fully integrated film lab, benefit from the Christie Vive Audio cinema sound system. MCL updated its state-of-the-art dubbing room incorporating Vive Audio, thus ensuring the best audio capabilities for cinema in its post-production tasks.
