REGAL CLIFTON PARK
Company: Klipsch Location: New York, USA
In an effort to provide a top tier cinematic experience to match its superior, hospi- tality focused theatre environments, Regal Entertainment Group has implemented a new big screen theatre concept known as RPX: Regal Premium Experience. With the ultimate goal of providing movie goers with world class screen presenta- tions complemented by a unique and powerful sound system, RPX auditoriums feature elegant and luxurious stadium seats with high-back headrests, giant immersive screens illuminated by high-quality digital projectors, and of course, state-of-the-art sound systems. “Regal Entertainment Group strives to produce the cinema experience the way filmmakers intended - with powerful, uncompressed sound, bright eye-popping images and a custom built premium environment outfitted in comfort and luxury,” said Rob Del Moro, Senior Vice President and Chief Purchasing Officer for Regal Entertainment Group. “With RPX, our visitors are able to experience 60-70 foot wide movie screens with images illuminated by 30,000 lumen digital projectors - capable of showing both 2D and 3D movies. Thus far, Regal patrons have shown a strong preference for viewing films in this exceptional environment.” For the best possible sound experience at ‘Regal Clifton Park Stadium 10 & RPX’ in Albany, New York, theatre technicians turned to Klipsch to ensure precision, clarity and effortless power. The equipment breakdown includes five MCM Grand four-way stage speakers, 16 KPT-250 three-way surround speakers, four KPT- 684 subwoofers and two KPT-4350 monopoint surrounds. “The sheer amount of wattage going through this system takes Regal’s RPX experience to an entirely different level when compared to traditional auditoriums,” said Del Moro. Del Moro also found Klipsch to be at the forefront of sound system trends, with plenty of room to adapt to new technology. “The Klipsch speaker arrangement in this venue can most definitely be added to as we look to outfit our RPX thea-
tres for future audio formats extending beyond 7.1 capabilities,” he said. “In a rapidly expanding industry, our Albany RPX cinema experience has exponential room for growth and the potential for even more impressive sound with the help of Klipsch.” When complemented by Klipsch sound systems, this RPX venue’s format provides its patrons with a world class viewing and listening experience. “Sound plays such a significant role in our RPX experience, and Klipsch speakers boast nothing less than enveloping, feel-it-in-your-chest sound quality. We are committed to perfect- ing these unique venues through the use of state-of-the-art picture and audio related products and confident our RPX theatres will continue to exceed expecta- tions in both design and performance,” said Del Moro.

IPIC THEATERS
Company: XPAND 3D Location: Various, USA
In an effort to provide a world class viewing experience to match its premium, hospitality focused theatre environments, iPic Theaters has outfitted several of its locations with XPAND 3D cinema systems. The XPAND 3D systems are in use at the iPic locations including Scottsdale in Arizona, Glendale in Wisconsin and the Gold Class Cinemas location in Pasadena, California. “iPic Theaters transforms a typical hectic movie-going experience to one that provides comfort, relaxation and choices, and we take pride in providing quality services and unique food and beverages for a great night out,” said Mark Mulcahy, VP of Marketing at iPic Entertainment. “At iPic, guests can fully customise their movie-going experience. With two levels of reserved seating, full menu of house- made, easy-to-eat dishes and full bar, iPic Theaters is the ultimate night out.” When the time came to acquire 3D systems for its locations, iPic saw several unique advantages in XPAND’s 3D technology. “We found XPAND at the time when cinemas around the world were starting to get into 3D, and we found some limitations with passive 3D technology, such as the requisite silver screen,” Mulc- ahy noted. “We really liked the quality of XPAND’s 3D systems, the picture quality

is excellent and the light output is very good. It’s a lot brighter than the other systems out there.” Mulcahy also found the scalability of XPAND 3D systems to be an attractive feature. “We love the ability to play the movie downwards, meaning we can use the XPAND system in one of our large rooms for the opening week of a film, then relocate the film and the system to a smaller size room, and then an even smaller room a few weeks after that,” he said. “That versatility is unique and makes the ownership of a 3D system that much more convenient.” In addition to their high performance and versatility, XPAND 3D systems also offer an unprecedented level of convenience to the theatre owners and operators. “We appreciated that XPAND worked with any server, so you’re not required to use only one brand of server with XPAND systems,” Mulcahy said. “It’s incredibly easy to use, and the system is very plug ‘n’ play. Once the system is set up, it doesn’t require a lot of attention.”
