The Powersoft Unica amplifier platform is the audio backbone in two recently refurbished screening rooms at Nordisk Film Cinemas Kinopalæet, located north of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The project was spearheaded by Jan Rasmussen, head of screen technology at Nordisk Film Cinemas. “The main factors in choosing audio equipment for cinema are quality, features and stability,” he says. “We prefer using networked sound in our cinemas because of the flexibility and cost efficiency and Powersoft fits perfect in all these categories.”
The refurbishment was done in Screen 8, with 81 reclining seats and Screen 11, a 4DX auditorium with 112 seats. The Unica 8K8 amplifiers drive MAG Cinema loudspeakers in 7.1 systems with bi-amped front channels.
Rasmussen says one of the reasons he chose Unica amplifiers was a “full-featured multichannel networked amplifier with stability and high-quality.” Even though it was the first time Rasmussen used Powersoft amplifiers, he adds that he’s happy with the support provided by Powersoft in preparation for the installation.
In addition, he emphasizes that sound contributes to 50 percent of the overall allure to the cinemagoers: “It’s essential that we can deliver the best possible sound quality, running with the best stability of operation.”
“We are proud to have provided Nordisk Film with our latest cloud-based Unica amplifier,” says says Francesco Cionini, global key account manager at Powersoft. “This collaboration with a leading Cinema brand like Nordisk Film is a fantastic recognition of our newest amplifier platform and the many advantages and functionalities it brings to improve audio quality and reduce operative costs in the cinema market. Thanks to our license-free Universo cloud platform, we are able to offer 24/7 remote monitoring capabilities and help cinema customers to keep their audio system under control and minimize downtime situations.”
