Add New Dimensions to Your Viewing Experience
The Latest Innovations in Surround Sound Technology Immerse You in The Movies and Music You Love
The quest to add sound to movies goes as far back as its early days; Edison and the infamous Muybridge looked to combine their technologies for rudimentary playback. Since the release of the first ‘talkie’ film, The Jazz Singer, in 1927, directors and cinematographers have sought to extend its power beyond voice and sound effects.
The latest innovations in surround sound systems and distribution create environments that become characters in themselves. The groundbreaking director, writer, and actor, Larry Fessenden, evokes this ethos, saying, “Sound and sound design has always been very important to my approach to film because it is a more subversive and allusive aspect of the medium.”

Acoustical Accents
While several experimental theater pieces attempted to push the medium, the first true surround sound systems were created for the animated spectacular Fantasia. Disney ordered his soon-to-be dubbed Imagineers to develop a way to envelop the audience in audio and, therefore, the story on screen.
While sound is a crucial element of any medium, it has a singular vitality in music and movies. The goal for an audio engineer is to foster a deeper and more intimate connection to the people and plot unfolding before you, moving your emotions in ways that propel you into the action. Encountering the subtle use of minor 3rd in the music and powerful bursts of bright melodies, you find yourself crying or laughing.
A New Sensation
Nothing blurs the lines between fantasy and your theater seat more than the advanced processing of Dolby Atmos. The format introduced into commercial theater in 2012 has become available for home theater and those seeking deep listening of music, generating a true multi-dimensional sound field.
The system eschews the concept of discrete channels; instead, the audio is treated as free-floating objects that directors can manipulate and move around at will. Now you are not just alongside Han Solo; you are at the controls of the Millennium Falcon or experiencing a concert by The Killers on stage alongside Brandon Flowers and Dave Keuning.
