About Audio-Ciné
Audio-Ciné AG in Zurich plans, installs, programs and maintains digital cinema technology: projection systems, professional audio technology, media technology and automation for cinemas, theatres, zoos and event venues. The range of services extends from planning, through the interior fitting of cinema auditoriums, room acoustics and seating, to maintenance, repair, software updates and remote services for all system brands. Under its own Soundparc brand, the company develops and sells loudspeakers and amplifiers for cinemas, manufactured at its own Soundparc GmbH in Rothhausen (Germany) with parts from Europe. For cinema-specific in-house developments, the company has CNC machining in Zurich. Image and sound measurements are carried out with calibrated measuring instruments; the AD-Connexion remote solution enables remote maintenance and proactive monitoring (KRS). The company was founded in 1985 as Audio-Ciné Walter Voigt AG and can look back on a cinema technology tradition dating back to 1902. Markus Schinabeck has been the owner since 2004.
