It will feature ultra-bright crispChristie® 4K RGB 57,000 lumen laser imagery paired with a 64-channel Dolby Atmos® immersive audio system and further enhanced with a QSC Core 110f, a multipurpose software-based digital audio signal processor that delivers the benefits of QSC’s Q-SYS solution. Used in conjunction with QSC’s DPA-Q Series amplifiers, the Core 110f provides bass management for low frequency content in all of the Dolby Atmos®surround channels. Bass management combines the low frequency sound content that is directed to the surround speakers and sends it instead to special surround subwoofers. The Core 110f also provides Intrinsic Correction™, which is special QSC laboratory-derived sound processing that guarantees optimal performance from any loudspeaker. The combination of the aforementioned technology should create the most awe-inspiring movie experience in the Midwest.
