Fifteen leather seats in tiers, each with a small brass lamp, under the gold-leaf dome

Greenwich, CT

Rooster Hill Cinema

A night at the cinema, at home.

Fifteen seats · 7.2 Meridian · Barco projection

In a Greenwich house, a private cinema built for fifteen: neon at the top of the stairs, a mirrored bar on the way down, and a room under a gold-leaf dome. Our part is everything you hear and see, a 7.2 Meridian system with Meridian DSP loudspeakers and processing, and Barco projection, tuned to live up to the room around it.

The screen in use, the room lit low beneath the gold-leaf dome — 02 Barco projection, onto a screen framed in curtains like a proscenium.

A Meridian in-wall loudspeaker, set into the wall before its fabric panel closed over it — 03 Meridian in the walls before the panels close; a gold-leaf dome above.

The system

Everything you hear and see, voiced as one.

Meridian DSP loudspeakers and Meridian processing carry all 7.2 channels, so the room is tuned as a single instrument. Barco projection fills the screen from a port at the back of the room.
