USA - Providing the greater Los Angeles area with a different twist on the late night movie, Hollywood Outdoor Movies (HOM) relies on JBL VRX loudspeakers to entertain thousands by displaying feature films on a giant portable outdoor movie screen. With audiences ranging in size from 1,300 to 2,500 people, HOM owner John J. Snyder's VRX system is using his JBL VRX system to deliver high-impact sound for movie exhibitions throughout southern California.
From Exposition Park and La Cienega Park, to the Fashion Institute of Design and an area of Los Angeles known as 'The Cornfields', HOM arranges day-long events for families that include live music, games, food, costume contests and a feature film on screens up to 100ft wide.
"We focus on making each screening a large, family-friendly event, rather than just showing a movie for an hour and a half," stated Snyder. "We try to make it all about the activities and events, where the movie at the end of the night is the icing on the cake."
Hollywood Outdoor Movies relies on its inventory of JBL VRX 932LAP Constant Curvature line arrays and VRX918SP powered subwoofers, in addition to Vertec VT4888 midsize line array elements and VT4880 fullsize arrayable subwoofers.
"The user-friendly and lightweight characteristics of the VRX line arrays allow us to maximize our time and quality during the setup process," continued Snyder. "With the built-in signal processing and amplifiers, the speakers give us a happy medium between our smaller JBL EON portable loudspeakers and larger, longer-throw VerTec line arrays. This enables us to easily entertain thousands of guests with plenty of audio coverage and distribution, even in large outdoor areas."
