For those that are interested in such things we have provided a
page that lists the equipment currently in use at The Picture
House.
We are very proud of our picture and sound and have spent lots
of time and money getting it right.
Update Jan 2010: CP65 in screen one pronounced dead. CP650
installed as a replacement.
Update Aug 2008: JBL 3678 speakers moved from Screen One to
Screen Two. (Where they sound better funnily enough). New JBL 3635
Sub added in Two. New JBL 3622N speakers installed in Screen One.
Bigger speaker with wider range. Stupendous.
Update Dec 2006: New JBL Speakers installed in
Screen One.
Update April 2005: Ageing Westars replaced with new Century MSC
SA Projector heads in both screen one and two. Fantastic, steady
and pin sharp picture. Pictures soon.
Update Aug 2004: Installed Kelmar film cleaners in all three
boxes and invested in Film Guard. Wish we'd done it years ago! The
picture is vastly improved and no more dusting from the curse of
polyester prints. The result is fleck free pictures and cleaner
projectors.
