More HK Audio for Adventure Cinema
- Details
The company has enjoyed success immersing audiences in the magic of the movies across more than 70 venues since its formation in 2019. The need for exceptional audio is particularly important in an outdoor cinema setting, and Adventure Cinema has exclusively used HK Audio systems since its inception.
As a travelling outdoor cinema company running pop-up events the length and breadth of the UK, Adventure Cinema covers significant mileage and seeks to mitigate costs and environmental impact by obtaining premium quality sound from compact audio systems, as director Mark Thompson explains:
“Essentially, we need the biggest and best quality sound from the smallest boxes possible. The systems also need to be exceptionally durable and reliable as they are in virtually constant use throughout the season. HK Audio’s Linear 5 system has enabled us to provide incredible sound for outdoor audiences of up to 1500 deploying just eight speakers, saving space in transit.”
At the start of its 2023 season, the company contacted Polar, HK Audio’s UK distributor to invest in six Linear 5 LTS long-throw, ultra compact loudspeakers to upgrade the tops in their central stacks.
Mark Thompson continues: “The power and long-throw characteristics of the Linear LTS units enable us to more effectively send the dialogue from films across larger event spaces without increasing left and right levels. Again, the compact nature of the boxes is a big plus in logistical terms. Polar were very helpful and efficient with the delivery of the speakers, and also in promptly supplying us with a range of spares to service our existing stock.”
Andy Plunkett, Polar Integrated Solutions adds: “An outdoor touring cinema is a demanding audio environment which requires great clarity and consistency of coverage. The HK Audio Linear 5 system is the perfect fit for Adventure Cinema, delivering excellent audio with great reliability at an extremely competitive price. The Linear 5 LTS does a great job in the setup with the significant added advantage of being very small and lightweight - it’s probably one of the most flexible and adaptable products in its class.”
