The Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas has fully equipped its 10-screen cinema with Moving Image Technologies’ LEA Professional smart power amplifiers during its recent remodel. This was the first implementation of LEA Professional smart power amplifiers by MIT.“The high efficiency of the LEA Class-D amplifier was a key factor in the decision to install these during Alamo Lamar’s remodel to minimize additional electrical requirements,” said Frank Tees, vice president of technical sales support, MIT.

“Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has been a long-time partner of MiT, and we are thrilled to take advantage of their new relationship with LEA Professional to retrofit our South Lamar cinema in Austin,” said Frankie Vaquerano, director of presentation for Alamo Drafthouse. “The retrofit included 120 channels from 30 of LEA’s Connect 354D and 704D Smart Amplifiers with 46,200W of power, including two Dolby Atmos houses. LEA has an industry-leading 6-year warranty and advanced cloud monitoring capabilities, which were key differentiators.”

“LEA is excited to enter this new market with MiT, and we look forward to many more future projects in the cinema space,” said Scott Robbins, vice president of global sales LEA Professional.
