World's First SONY Crystal LED powered by Kaleidescape si going up as we speak at the Blofeld Clone PH

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

You mean extra panels, no!

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

I am very moved by your support guys, some more show and tell.

We wanted to get the endorphins going as you approached the seating, so we came up with the spectator gondola, the whole idea of having all these free-floating architectural elements ( called deconstructivist), besides technical form follows function was to place the viewer in some kind of mind travel craft. When you see it finished you may find the spatial layout adventurous.

atmos tops

side heights DTS-X auro in column

surrounds

Front main 2 x10

Front main bass extenders

rear surround and side heights and tops amp rack

channel positions for atmos and dts-x notice the floor channels, they will sink the front stage 9 degrees into the floor.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

I thought these were pieces of tape stuck to the overheads. No! Freaking angle markers!

SPECTRE BUDGETS what can I say. There are surprises like this both technical and aesthetic throughout!

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Id, like to add a disclaimer, in no way my posting the above speaker pictures, represent my full endorsement of the Quested line it was the best solution at the moment some too long 3 years ago. I was showing so that you could see what was behind the speaker grilles. What I am promoting is the concept of projectorless, cinemas with a view as a purely PHILANTROPIC obligation, creating the perfect world is exhausting, Lol.

Why I might not use the above brand, read this month Widescreenreview, the above main speakers are NOT controlled directivity, that makes the whole thing a steep effort, below is a generic walkthrough video, you will see that we needed to add see-through rpg diffusers on the windows to neutralize the negative aspects of non controlled directivity loudspeakers. with the controlled directivity speakers I would rather use otherwise the glass would have been left clear. Yes there are no other triangular wedge speakers that slip into the columns, so for now a blatant marketing effort for those speakers that require an 8 thousand dollar column to work in. , . And the speaker angle ruler was not from the manufacturer but, the Builder of the room, so just showing the extreme details that went into this project for your personal entertainment. Cheers!

For the technically inclined, this is how the 43 loudspeakers interact with the Trinnov, Jon from trinnov dove in today and seems to think it's going to be very cool. He will be loading all that tomorrow. Me? A bit nervous.

 

[Noah Winter]

Peter, for brightness comparison purposes is there an amount of lumens that these have been measured to provide? Great post by the way.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

The SONY Z-2 CONTROLLER has 3 settings Maximum 1,200 nits, Normal 800 nits, and Medium 500 nits. While medium was initially selected, Normal is what you are seeing in the above image shots, we came to that setting after the zoom Lumagen tonemapping session that was preceded by that zoom walkthrough video above, works equally good in that setting day and night.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Fun factoid: This was going to be a Samsung The Wall install until I nudged the client to the SONY demo. The mount for the Wall Lux that was already in place was used for parts. Lol

Are you doing any type of transducers in the seating? Maybe a dumb question with all of those subs, but it is a condo and even a penthouse has people below... Lol

If you look at the Bass Management PDF there are Crowson Transducers, but that will not be part of the initial setup as the altitude doesn't like not hearing speakers , we will deal with that in 2021. I am all over not bothering the neighbors and will have night modes for Dolby and DTS.

Cheers!

 

[20hertz]

Wow, what a build! You always keep pushing the boundaries Peter and your passion comes through in every one of your projects.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Thank you so much 20, it is many times a huge ship anchor chain to drag with the delays. and setbacks, but the light is at the end of the tunnel. The client is beyond thrilled ( knock on wood with the surround system about to come online).

This is what he has to say about the C-Led:

"I'm not sure what it is or how to describe it, but the picture quality on the Sony C-LED is simply unreal.

My suspicion is that because the ratio of light to dark area is so great with 99% being black, it causes a bloom effect not unlike what CRT displays used to do. The end effect is a complete lack of discrete visual elements as we've become used to on LED and OLED displays. Instead, the eye sees a very natural, organic image devoid of distinct boundaries between light elements.

I sampled countless LED walls. The Sony left me floored on the showroom floor, in their dedicated Jimmy Stewart theater, and now at home. There is nothing equivalent on the market today, to the best of my knowledge and abilities!"

Another feature about the leather-wrapped columns is through 4 cardioid Surround Bass Management woofers just for the width and surround1 channel like 45 degrees forward of the seats and surround and surround rears at 135 degrees mirror imaged to the other side. These are separate from the LFE subs and are intended for light concussive tapping of the furniture from 4 side surround angles /directions to enhance directional bassto 30hz. The cardioid is DSP managed in that you can adjust how far forward out of the column the bass projects. A mild bazooka effect, for which we needed to place back cancelation wave grilles on 4 of the columns.

Yeah, I’ve asked them about that. I would like to use one of the outputs from my Trinnov for this purpose, but the optimizer doesn’t like that. Keep asking them to add this option! I have to split off one of the sub outputs, but not ideal...

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Wow, more headaches. Since we have Dante maybe there is a workaround splitting the subs that way in the network. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Getting closer... TENET playing in full daylight.
Temporary carpet installed, surround system fired up, remote Trinnov calibration Tomorrow !

The column reflections on the screen is only visible off from the left hallway but not from the seats.

 

[Lon]

NICE!

 

[SJHT]

Back row middle must be the MLP. Pillow is more squished.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

Haha, There is some squishing on the front row IMAX view ( your eyes pan left and right often) chaise lounge. But yes this is a one-seat optimized Selfish Bastard rank design.

 

[CINERAMAX IOPH]

So the surround system was fired up, well 32 analog channels but not able to engage the 16 digital due to an odd custom cable from the Trinnov to the DAD AX-32 Studio Dante audio matrix. After Jon at Trinnov reconfigured the audio channels to just 32 we fired it up, the client is super happy then. However I interviewed him while doing some tests, everything sounds over the top, the one thing that is missing that was very palpable in my last La Salle pro-ribbon job, the seamless gapless palpable ring of sound, I am not promoting a brand but this is something so otherworldly that I feel everyone serious about home cinema should seek out and hear in person, the Magic Ring.

Needless to say, I will use these other speakers in my next column based bed channels.

I love your posts and descriptions of your systems. Pleases keep them coming!
