Rapallo | The Milky Way Theatre

PROJECT:

The Milky Way

After a large flood in their existing cinema room, our client contacted us for product and assistance in re-building the room and enhancing the platform.

Our team looked over the room and ran through the options, discussed brand and differing platforms with the client. In the end it was decided to use a Sony XW5000 projectorAnthem AV Receiver and Power Amplifier and a range of Paradigm speakers, four SVS subwoofers all matched to a Indigo fixed frame acoustic transparent screen for an incredible image. On top of this, they wanted a Karaoke system, so that was also included and installed behind the screen with a pair of microphones and PA speakers for some lung-thrilling singing.

We also worked with the client on the acoustics in the room, using a mixture of Primacoustic and Vicoustic panels and bass traps which are lit up with back-lighting.

The client is a developer, so the majority of the building & electrical work was carried out by them. Our team did the final fit-off and the last piece, the calibration will be done post 100hrs use to really make the room a total cinema experience.

Have to say, its looking like a great space to watch movies. The lighting is soft and easy and the seats just tick off the final element. Roll up movie night!
