Author Topic: MEGASOUND Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-02-2002 06:59 PM                     The university theatre had a CP100 with SA5, Altec amps The stage speakers were A4's for altered states a small rolling rack with BGW amps came in and this eventide box in it with a megasound logo stuck on it  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-03-2002 01:45 PM                        Gordon, are you sure the Eventide box was a subharmonic generator? Or could it have been some sort of subbass enhancement, like the dbx unit that we use which just halves that lower frequency component of the existing audio -- rather than actually generating any low frequencies of its own?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2002 02:36 PM                     The DBX is a sub harmonic generator since by definition creates a octave that isn't there The eventide people were one of the first out with a sub harmonic generator and the early ones were using mechanical springs Eventide also made many of the reverb units of the day as well  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-04-2002 02:03 PM                     Bobby Henderson wrote: quote: Anyone have any good quality "MegaSound" artwork? I remember seeing the promos for it on the posters for "Outland." If someone can provide a good high-res scan I can fashion together a really good vector version of it. I have some of the MegaSound artwork you are requesting...but you'll have to ask nicely.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-15-2005 08:52 AM                 It has been 1075 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-15-2005 08:52 AM                 This is good stuff I’m reading hear I’ve head about 70mm Dolby stereo Megasound, all though I have seen a few films like Superman II at the ABC #1 in Westover Road Bournemouth when it was playing and not sure if the print was 70mm though, it probably was 35mm Dolby Stereo A type. You guys should take a lot of pictures to document this; I like to know everything about 70mm Dolby Stereo Megasound, diagrams pictures manuals etc the whole dame thing. I have on DVD in Dolby 5.1 “Outland” which is very loud in parts of the film, Superman II Dolby Stereo only due to someone not getting it right ay Warner, err. Don’t have “Wolfen” or “Altered States” as of yet, I’m surprised there is not a little historical facts on some of the DVD’s about this process which is not used widely now.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-20-2015 11:54 PM                 It has been 3566 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-20-2015 11:54 PM                     Warner Archive Collection just announced on it's Facebook page that the bluray of 'Wolfen' will sport a DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundmix ...  |  IP: Logged
