" We had been handling most of the work for Marcus on their last four new builds ," said Dave Lund , Senior Consultant , Bright Star Systems . " We came in as the integrator , we got the construction drawings , and we handled the projection and sound in the theatre auditorium . We took into consideration how big the screens are , what kind of ceilings they were going to put in , and we handled all of the technical work . We are also the primary service agent for a majority of the Marcus theatres ."
The JBL Sculpted Surround specification involves specific loudspeaker models in a precise configuration to provide a premium experience for the entire audience .
