Please give us more info on the room: screen size, seating configuration, source material (blu-ray vs DVD), sound system especially amplification, decoding of sound tracks (Dolby, HD, DTS, etc), height of the seating (front to back), and the exact screen material. Lots of variables. I just had a custom screen made for my room. Expertly done. Acoustically transparent. Gain 1.1 All these things are important. Best of luck.
Speaker placement behind the screen
We are a small independent movie theater with 100 seats. Our speakers are located behind the screen. We often get complaints that the dialogue is too low. Two questions: 1) What is the optimal height for the speakers? We've been told that they are too low (currently about 3 ft off the floor). 2) Can we change the mix so that dialogue is louder without making music, sound effects, etc. louder? Our head projectionist says no.
Any suggestions for references I can go to? Thank you!
