Hi there!
I just wanted to share some images about our home/movie theater renovations. The last proper renovation was done 10 years ago so now that the theater is starting to fall apart we decided to do an extensive facelift. The theater is called Kinopoli, which is run by our fantastic student volunteers .
The specs in short: 4k projector, 9.1.4 Dolby atmos (custom main and center speakers, 10 x Genelec 8320A for surround, one large custom subwoofer), 2.40:1 aspect ratio screen.
Here's an image of the theater before renovations:
The main reason we wanted to start the project was due to the seats coming to the end of their life. They have a folding mechanism, which has required some recent welding to keep somewhat operational and in general they just do not fit in our image of a premium theater. Thankfully, we managed to source new seats from a local broadcasting studio, which was a major kickstart for the whole ordeal. The seating layout will be completely changed.
A picture of the Nucau main speakers that are sadly hidden by the whitescreen. The full specs of the Nucau's can be found here.
The old subwoofers had some mass. 4 x 18" drivers in a 1500 liter enclosure. The drivers will be reused for the new closed enclosure design.
We used to be able to say that we are the best movie theater in Finland (specification wise), but now due the arrival of imax, that is no longer the case. After the renovations though, that will again be the case, since we will be upgrading the projector to a native 4k laser projector.
I will update this post as the renovations progress, feel free to ask anything about the project!
