The JBL THX Cinema!

[andyandthecats]

mostly the lucasfilm ltd THX sound system is doing the THX crossover for the five screen wide . behringer DCX 2496 oly serve in main sound processor rack as ( equal ABC PEQ , gain level ) or individual PEQ on the outputs on channels 2 4 and 6 or use the low pass filter to trim off lows when watching certain youtube videos that are non-Dolby THX , only Dolby THX approved movies here are fully unleashed in THX .  

three great names in sound . SR-71 after sub bass burners , JBL and THX

overhead surround isn't new its been around since least i know 1969 gamount 1 bournemouth , cinerema 70mm that was phased out 1970 and 35mm installed . i heard star wars on national day , feb 1978 , yeah that star destroyer was overhead !

this was never public most may see speakers on side/back wall known as left/right halves .

when working at CIC/UCI cinemas 1989 first projectionist work ( now very much retired ) last worked for warner bros 1998 , very retired now .

picture is cinerama screen 1 x6 overhead flush last working mid 1998 , new JBL 8330 mkI x16 1999 for star wars 1 in SR-D .

UCI tower park used EV cinema pa in all screens . large screens 5 and ( 6 pictured ) smaller screens 1 to 4 7 to 10

dolby labs had with soundelux Todd-AO 2002 we where soldiers , Dolby SA10 would be used for so called one print made for one cinema , and no pictures video of it strange ? just some suppressed pdf that no longer can be found .
" sonic whole overhead sound " using clusters of speakers on the ceiling i seen the artist drawing of it .

hi-fi and linear vhs making comeback in Dolby Stereo at this THX cinema 

the bass puts the 4k fake atmos to shame . the bass on the vhs was like thunder THX earthquake during the assault . thou bit compressed it still had ample dynamic range . compared to laserdisc that is pure Dolby Stereo 4.2.4 theatrical mix which is better than the 4k disc near field mix . 

picture bit shabby on vhs but i would watch it again . 4k is hyped cash cow money grabber . i buy 4k discs at rate of 1% whole year now , it had its chance with greedy studios . i buy laserdisc at 50% per year , vhs sort of now and then if its Dolby Stereo 4.2.4 or mono mix

special overhead surround 1969/1989 duplicate mimic only at this THX cinema 

i been wanting duplicate the overhead surround with past cinemas that now longer some exist closed or had the oiginal overhead surrounds removed late of 1999 at UCI tower park , odeon is now nice home for the pigeons . i like pigeons     

no current processor not even storm audio trinnov (that's disappointing i thought trinnov32 can do it all ? ) be able to do it . one they simple don't have original Dolby sound formats . not even my Denon AVC-X8500H , i had to make extensive past modifications . hence using proper Dolby Stereo still modern day the original best 

so unlike speaker switcher boxes i use common DB25 computer switcher with DB25 phoenix wiring so no soldering 

take the basic heights 1 2 3 connect to switcher output and make up 1st main atmos cable and 2nd 3rd 4th for special overhead beyond switching

proper Dolby Stereo in this THX cinema via SA10 add on to the regular surrounds for correct surround arrays of the JBL x11 side/back wall with proper Dolby Stereo 4.2.4 signature ref sound that wows this THX cinema with proper hass effect via my CP200 CP500 CP750 even the Sony SDDS has 4.2.4 . Denon AVC-X8500H can not do this no avr avp today is capable with Dolby DSU its the wrong sound format to use for laserdisc Dolby Stereo it produces fake stereo surrounds and has some bad crosstalk and centre sounds whoohsy , and i thought Dolby labs listened ? maybe only to sound of £ cash now .

baby driver hidden atmos overhead easter eggs ! 

opening of movie with use of overhead surrounds only uses height 2 . there is no use of height 1 and 3 in this movie .
most of the overhead surround is heard on my customized overhead surrounds with below surround , using a x3 Dolby SA10 for height 1 2 3 .

most of the overhead is mono sounding that sounds from Dog 2 middle overhead surround for most of the movie running time with later on few slight stereo almost , with narrow pan to right or half Dog 2 with left half , if that makes any sense ?

chapter 13 bank robbery gone wrong then starts to later go into stereo sounding 4 channel overhead on height 2 . the signal for some of the music that " baby " listens to is panned steered towards what i call " extra channels " or extra 2 . that is somewhat unsurprising unexpected as . has " baby " runs on foot from the cops into a shopping centre the music continuing playing on extra 2 , with overhead shopping centre pa public announcement head on Dog 2 , with a few wide stereo width occasionally being used .

after chapter 13 , rest of the chapters go back to typical mono overhead or Dog 2 . on most any home cinema the home cinema listener will only hear mono phantom sound from their overhead surrounds . so don't expect too much from this movie .

star trek 6 the undiscovered country , now this does look like it has legitimate grain where most other 4k discs using fake digital grain for the greedy cash cow studios .  switched the 7.1 off played back with spit surrounds using proper surround left/right half as did at world famous CIC Empire Leicester Square on national opening day , feb 14th 1992 70mm six-track Dolby Stereo SR SS THX sound system , on my , now 40kw JBL THX , may upgrade to 150kw ? nah , 40kw is enough
