“The AP20 was selected as the audio processor for both its optimized equalization system and its endless possibilities of inputs,” explained Boris Visonneau, Technical Support Engineer at R2D1, the French distributor for Datasat Digital Entertainment equipment.

President of the Republic of Senegal Abdoulaye Wade and President of the Republic of Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza were in attendance for the theatre’s inaugural event, a screening of Walt Disney Pictures’ Alice in Wonderland in April.

Across the Atlantic, Framingham’s AMC Theatre was host to an AP20 demo in June. Dealers and industry professionals were in attendance to hear the audio processor’s openness and clarity.

"The AP20 sounds brilliant with a clarity that is the best I've heard coming from a cinema audio processor,” stated John Allen, President of High Performance Stereo and responsible for tuning hundreds of premier theatre houses around the world.

The AP20 Audio Processor, along with Datasat’s full line of cinema products, can be viewed at Cine Expo in Booth #141.
