Conundrum Technologies did a few things to save roughly 28 percent in the electricity power needed to run this theater—and make it healthier. And with Meridian speakers, a SIM2 D75 projector and a 133-inch Da-Lite screen, this entertainment center is no slouch. A 3.1 system with three Meridian digital speakers was used to create “phantom” surround channels.
“The virtual processing happens because of the digital speakers,” says Jason Perez of Conundrum. “We can set the system up so that it knows there are only three speakers. This allows the [Meridian digital] processor to send the appropriate channels [including the surround channels] to either the left, right and center speakers.”
Meridian’s digital speakers also have their own amplifiers, which reduces signal loss en route to the speakers, and Conundrum wired them with high-efficiency coaxial cables. The 133-inch Da-Lite Cinema Countour screen is GreenGuard-certified, meaning its materials won’t emit potentially harmful chemicals, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.
