Driving Major Growth in the Cinema Industry
Taking advantage of the supreme audio quality and reliability of Yamaha’s P series amplifiers, Finnkino already has 250 P4500s at work in its cinemas, along with a selection of P7000S amplifiers. And now the company has invested in another 95 Yamaha amplifiers from Finnish supplier F Musikki Oy.
50 XP5000 units have been installed in a new five screen complex in Oulu, on Finland’s west Gulf of Bothnia coast, while 45 more have been purchased for another new complex in the Lituanian town of Kaunas, around 150km west of the country’s capital Vilinius. All of Finnkino’s complexes use custom-built loudspeaker systems, which the company has specially designed to ensure that the audio is optimized for each individual theater.
"All our amplifiers are in bi-amp and tri-amp mode and feature active digital crossovers," says Finnkino’s Ari Saarinen. "The sound quality is superb and they are utterly noiseless. The design is excellent, they are very well built and offer superb quality and power for the cost. But it’s also very important that the reliability of the amplifiers is fantastic." he continues. "We have never had a single failure in any of our installations."
Tomas Nylen of Yamaha adds: "We are very pleased that such a high profile company as Finnkino is using Yamaha amplifiers. Finnkino is driving major growth in the cinema industry in Finland and the Baltic States, and Yamaha equipment will ensure that its ever-expanding network of cinemas enjoys optimum sound quality for many years to come."
