A cinema with the right sound

Built in 1918, originally as a concert hall, Konsertpaléet screen 1 (KP1) is the premier cinema auditorium in Bergen, Norway and attracts cinephiles from across Scandinavia to enjoy its quality surroundings, sound and vision facilities. Recently it underwent a major refurbishment programme to become a true reference class cinema, with owning company Bergen Kino keen to provide filmgoers with a cinema experience that was in a league of its own.
Alongside contractors providing new seating, lighting and improved interior design, Bergen Kino contracted Unique Cinema Systems to install Alcons' latest, cutting-edge C series system, designed for superior (digital) cinema sound reproduction.
Sounds good, looks good
The system comprises 5 pcs. CR5 front of house pro-ribbon screen systems, designed for auditoriums of 500 seats and upwards, 20 pcs. Cinema Ribbon Monitor System (CRMS) surround speakers and 4 pcs. BF362 double 18" subwoofers.
The first true cinema system that utilises line-source technology throughout, the CR5 provides non-compressed reproduction and extended dynamic range and optimal acoustic coupling efficiency. A triple RBN401 pro-ribbon array HF section allows a cinema-unique flat SPL coverage from front to rear, with very precise projection; while the quad-6.5" MF section features projection control and increased output through acoustical coupling with a minimal depth waveguide. Despite the system's shallow, 35cm design allowing it to be very economical in its spatial requirements, it makes no compromise on audio quality.
