We were approached by a retirement village to take a look at their leisure centre move room and suggest possible upgrades to make the room more inviting for the residents. What we found was a large room with a multitude of recliner lounges all on the one level with a small projection screen mounded very high so every on could see combined with an audio system that may be ok for a small to medium living room.
Krix Megaphonix Design
Multiple options were provided to transform the room into a more functional cinema with the primary focus on vocal legibility and a big enough image for the residents to clearly see from the proposed multiple rows of seating. Budget was also an important factor the project and we spent considerable time educating our clients on the importance key items and cost to allow a room of this size to operate efficiently regardless of where you sit.
Client Decision & Equipment List
After a lot of back and forth the system design was scaled back to a 7.2.4 speaker configuration and a line was drawn in the sand where it was made clear to our clients that anything less for a room of this size and seating capacity would not involve Sydney Hi-Fi Castle Hill. The revision was accepted and building commenced soon after

We partnered with the villages building manager who was integral in the whole process from beginning to end. frame work and pre-wire went seamlessly.
Completion!
Every time I hear a freshly completed Krix cinema I am impressed with the performance and this large room was no exception. After calibrating the system using the Anthem ARC software and microphone vocal legibility was on point even from the back row, system dynamics and bass filled the room with detail, immersion and slam. The picture is remarkable considering the size of the screen and price point of the projector
