The red carpet has been rolled out and the awards season is officially upon us! So far we have been treated to a controversial Golden Globes and SAG Awards, thanks to Meryl Streep and David Harbour each criticising Donald Trump and the overall political climate in the US during their acceptance speeches.
Later this month we can be sure to expect glamour, tears and questionable humour, thanks to the new Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel, and celebrities taking the opportunity to have their own say on the new President and his policies.
At Q Acoustics, one of the highlights of the awards season is finding out who has been nominated across the various Sound Editing and Sound Mixing categories. Sound designers work tirelessly to create the ultimate 360 sound experience so you, as an audience member, can feel completely encompassed by the film, and this year has been no different. La La Land, Hacksaw Ridge and Arrival have all been nominated in this year’s Sound Editing and Sound Mixing categories. Ranging from the crisp sound of tap shoes to the pounding of heavy bombing, the sound developers on these movies have certainly delivered amazing results.
In order to fully appreciate these films outside of the cinema requires a speaker system that has been specially designed to handle the intricacies of a big Hollywood movie. The Q Acoustics Concept 5.1 Cinema Package is the perfect solution for any movie buff wishing to experience the sounds of the movies as they were intended.
Q Acoustics 3000 Series 5.1 Graphite Speaker Package
For those that don’t know, a 5.1 speaker system is five speakers, including the all-important centre speaker and a subwoofer. The surround sound speakers will ensure you can experience soundtracks and dialogue with the same unparalleled sonic clarity that audiophiles enjoy from our award-winning concept stereo models.
The beauty of a 5.1 system is it offers diversity, providing a deep, thunderous bass which rumbles the floorboards as well as the subtle sound effects skittering behind you in a suspense scene. It allows you to watch films at home with the sound quality and experience of being in a cinema.
Q Acoustics 3000 Series 5.1 Walnut Speaker Package
You will obviously have to wait a little while for films such as La La Land to come out on DVD, but with the 5.1 Cinema Package, you can be ready to hear every patter of Ryan Gosling’s tap dancing toes when it does.
