Latin America. To take cinematic sound to the next level of realism, Christie introduced the LA3C reference ceiling and linear matrix surround speakers, an extension of the same company's Vive Audio cinematic sound solution.
Featuring the pioneering combination of ribbon driver technology and a parabolic linear matrix design in a single compact assembly, these additional speakers offer exceptionally uniform coverage throughout the room. As part of the Christie Vive Audio system, these speakers unleash the potential of immersive audio technologies.
Craig Sholder, Christie's Vice President of Entertainment Solutions, said: "Immersive audio is the new frontier of digital cinema, enabling sound distribution anywhere in the cinema – including on the ceiling – to complement the visual elements of a film in a vivid way. intense and dynamic with an incomparable realism."
These speakers also meet the company's stated goal of offering exhibitors the highest quality cinematic system at an affordable price. Renowned for its exceptional timbre matching, enhanced voice intelligibility and low distortion, the speakers' unique parabolic linear matrix design increases the optimal hearing zone by up to four times.
The extremely low mass of ribbon drivers allows them to respond very quickly to audio signals and eliminate the effects of high-frequency dispersion and power compression, resulting in the reproduction of source material with exceptional clarity and precision.
