Calcutta, India—Jan 11, 2006
State-of-the-art multiplex opens in Calcutta with QSC sound
Whether known as Kolkata or Calcutta, India's largest city is a pulsing
metropolis of over twelve million inhabitants. Once known as the "jewel
in the crown of the British Raj," this former capital of British India
is a nexus of culture in Bengal, its cosmopolitan streets buzzing with
English, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and a range of local dialects. The
city's eastern suburb of Udayan is a popular residential area, home to
the Satyajit Ray Film Institute, many new schools and hospitals, and an
array of sleek, modern high-rise residential projects. One of the more
ambitious of these is Calcutta Metropolitan's Hiland Park, a massive
development of nine residential towers, each between 17 and 28 stories
high.
The complex also includes a wide range of retail and
commercial space, including the Metropolis Mall, where major movie
exhibition company Shringar Cinemas has opened its first of three
multiplexes in the area, Fame Kolkata. The complex opened its doors in
October with a star-studded inaugural premiere, and has already become
the area's most popular movie-going destination and hang-out.
The state-of-the-art 900-seat multiplex features four
ergonomically-designed auditoriums, offering a variety of seating
options, including Royal Seating on plush sofas, as well as the
introduction of special "Romeo and Juliet" couple seating with just two
seats per row. The complex boasts fully computerized operations and
booking, specially designed lighting and projectors, and a fully
digital surround sound system from Costa Mesa, California-based QSC
Audio.
Each of the cinemas' four auditoriums offer a breathtaking audio experience, with three QSC SC-422 high-power, two-way bi-amp Screen Channel systems,
featuring a pair of 15-inch LF drivers and a large-format 3-inch
titanium diaphragm HF driver. The Screen Channel loudspeakers are
augmented by a pair of SB-5218 subwoofers, an 800-Watt model with dual 18-inch drivers. A total of twenty-four QSC amplifiers drive the four auditoriums.
"With the launch of Fame Kolkata, we're giving cinema lovers a whole
new viewing experience," remarked Shringar Cinemas' Managing Director
Shravan Shroff, who cited the auditoriums' groundbreaking audio systems
as one of the most important aspects of the sensory experience.
