Summary

Located outside Los Angeles is one of the our most technically advanced private theaters. PMI Technologies acoustical specifications created a room within a room to completely sound-proof this venue from the rest of the house. What you can't see are computer designed acoustical treatments hidden behind the gray wall panelling to enhance the THX Ultra II surround system. What you can see is the TK Theater designed interior featuring Color Kinetic LED lightning inside perforated stainless steel columns. The theater is bathed in a warm rainbow of colors.
