How robust is the sound in today’s cinemas? What should theatre owners be doing to make sure their sound is as good as it can be? Film Journal International turned to a distinguished group of audio experts for their observations and “sound” advice. Participants in our forum are: John F. Allen, Founder & President, High Performance Stereo; Chapin Cutler, President, Boston Light & Sound Inc.; John Durliat, Senior Director, Technical Services, Regal Entertainment Group; Louis Eales, Senior Director, Worldwide Technical Operations, Products and Services, Dolby Laboratories; Barry Ferrell, Senior Director of Product Strategy, QSC Audio Products; Kirk Griffin, Director of Engineering, Harkins Theatres; and Mike Skrzat, Field Engineer, Datasat Digital Entertainment (formerly DTS). We thank them all for their expertise and valuable contributions.
