“It’s important to know that cinemas are acoustically dry spaces. They’re completely padded, so the sound frequencies and waves are not reflected and added up in the space. The walls absorb the sound, which is a good thing for spatial sound. By using various effects, you can then affect the sound in such a dry space, creating the feeling of it being somewhere far away. It’s completely different in a space where the echo prevents manipulation. Cinemas typically have speakers on the walls and it’s impossible to affect each individually, you can only affect all the speakers that are on the left or all that are on the right. And because they’re so close together, that’s not ideal.
