Hello,Please take a look on http://www.cinematech.it/arcadia.jpg
What is the Dolby unit above the CP500??
That is the rack of "Multiplex Arcadia" (www.multiplexarcadia.it) the best theater in Italy (europe?).
The bigger auditorium has 30 meter screen with 21 speaker behind the screen (plus 4 subwoofer!) and all digital systems.
Bye from Italy!

It's a Dolby MPU (Magnetic Preamp Unit) used when running magnetically striped films or for dubbing (interlocked) sound.

What's that bottom unit that looks like a panel with 8 XLR connectors?Is it the multiplexor for your RTA mikes?
Or is Saturday some kind of karaoke night from hell there?
