Author Topic: What is that? Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-16-2000 11:50 AM                        Hello, Please take a look on http://www.cinematech.it/arcadia.jpg What is the Dolby unit above the CP500?? That is the rack of "Multiplex Arcadia" (www.multiplexarcadia.it) the best theater in Italy (europe?). The bigger auditorium has 30 meter screen with 21 speaker behind the screen (plus 4 subwoofer!) and all digital systems. Bye from Italy!

Is it the multiplexor for your RTA mikes? Or is Saturday some kind of karaoke night from hell there?  |  IP: Logged Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-21-2000 05:48 AM                        It's the SDDS 8 channel unit. ------------------ Antonio Marcheselli Projectionist of Cinema Vittoria Florence, Italy  |  IP: Logged
