The recently refurbishment of two screening rooms at Nordisk Film Cinemas’ Kinopalæet location, to the north of Copenhagen, includes Powersoft’s Unica amplifier platform is its backbone.
A prominent cinema chain in the Scandinavian cinema industry, Nordisk Film Cinemas selected Unica amplifiers in order to offer an ‘unparalleled and stable audio experience’ to its cinemagoers. Spearheading the rooms’ refurbishment was Jan Rasmussen, Head of Screen Technology at Nordisk Film Cinemas.
‘The main factors in choosing audio equipment for cinema are quality, features and stability,’ he says. ‘We prefer using networked sound in our cinemas because of the flexibility and cost efficiency and Powersoft fits perfect in all these categories.’
The refurbishment covered Screen 8, with 81 reclining seats, and Screen 11, a 4DX auditorium with 112 seats. Powersoft’s Unica 8K8 amplifiers drive a full 7.1 set-up using loudspeakers from MAG Cinema in each, with bi-amped front channels.
One of the reasons Rasmussen chose Unica amplifiers to install was to achieve a ‘full featured multichannel networked amplifier with stability and high-quality’. Even though it was the first time he has used Powersoft amplifiers, he is happy with the support provided from Powersoft in preparation for the installation. The amplifier platform translates into significant savings on power consumption than the prior installation, aligning with the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Rasmussen believes that sound represents half of the overall appeal to cinemagoers. ‘It’s essential that we can deliver the best possible sound quality, running with the best stability of operation,’ he says.
‘We are proud to have provided Nordisk Film with our latest cloud-based Unica amplifier. This collaboration with a leading Cinema brand like Nordisk Film is a fantastic recognition of our newest amplifier platform and the many advantages and functionalities it brings to improve audio quality and reduce operative costs in the cinema market ‘ says Powersoft Global Key Account Manager, Francesco Cionini. Thanks to our license-free Universo cloud platform, we are able to offer 24h/7 remote monitoring capabilities and help cinema customers to keep their audio system under control and minimise downtime situations.’
The Powersoft Unica amplifiers has left Nordisk Film Cinemas thoroughly impressed: ‘We are highly satisfied with the performance of Powersoft Unica amps and will, in fact, use them very soon in another of our premium cinema auditoriums,’ Rasmussen says.
