Reply to comment by CinemaAudioNovice in Movie theater sound calibration location. by Dear-Bid4102

So let me ask you, do you think it matters sitting in that location. I have been wondering if AMC adding walls behind the seats would mess up acoustics. So I’m thinking the calibration must correct for this. I would also like to assume that a theater like a Dolby Cinema would be better calibrated to account for this? Thoughts?

There’s only so much you can do to correct for a bad room unfortunately.

Premium screens like Dolby are always going to be given extra care and have much more calibration involved due to the extra channels and speakers. The rooms are also usually better designed acoustically.

Do you have any thoughts on the walls behind each seat? You think they mess up acoustics too much? I’m thinking of seeing more movies in imax for that reason.

I haven’t noticed any problems with the walls behind recliners, they’re generally short and carpeted.
