Ljudmixare på Harry Potter-film köper svenskt högtalarsystem

Det hör inte till vanligheterna att privata inköp av hemelektronik leder till pressmeddelanden men när David Crozier, ansvarig ljudmixare för bland annat Harry Potter och den flammande bägaren, väljer ljudsystem, då lyssnar man tydligen.

Pressmeddelande - Procella Audio Ltd, 2007-03-02

David Crozier, sound mixer of Harry Potter film purchases Procella Audio speakers

Procella Audio Ltd today announced that Mr. David Crozier has purchased a Procella Audio speaker system for his Cabin Theatre, as currently being built. The system Mr. Crozier has chosen is a 7.1 Procella Standard configuration, consisting of seven Procella 8 main speakers and four Procella 15 subwoofers.
 
"Working in the film industry as production sound mixer for many years, the challenge of recording artistes dialogue has been my main focus. It is very important to find a loudspeaker system that reproduces dialogue exactly as it was recorded. Procella systems faithfully reproduce the original audio without colouration," said David Crozier. "Every installation of Procella is overseen by both Anders Uggelberg and Gerben Van Duyl who will provide design advice for installation and acoustic treatment of the viewing room. I have listened extensively to Procella systems and look forward to hearing my work on this excellent speaker system."
  
“Mr. Crozier surprised us one morning by showing up at the recent HiFi News show in Heathrow, London. We were still setting up and fine-tuning our demo system, but already David could tell the system performed very well. By the end of that morning the room was really sounding very nice and we had impressed David, which is not an easy thing to accomplish considering David has spent many hours listening to the original recordings of many movies in his studio,” said Gerben Van Duyl, managing director of Procella Audio Ltd. “A few months later and David is installing our speakers in his fantastic Cabin Theatre. Now we are impressed.”
  
David Crozier's impressive career as a production sound mixer started in 1997 with the much-loved British TV series 'The Professionals' and includes highlights with feature films such as 'Mission: Impossible' (1996), 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (2001) and 'The Hours' (2002) where David's work helped Nicole Kidman to win an Oscar for her performance. Recently, David is best known for his work on the blockbuster 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'. Mr. Crozier is a member of AMPS, the Association of Motion Picture Sound.
   
The Procella Audio speakers shall be installed in a purpose designed Norwegian style log cabin, in the gardens of Mr. Croziers home in Oxfordshire, England. The installation is expected to be completed in April 2007. Procella Audio is also providing acoustical design consultancy for the Cabin Theatre. The installation is being overseen by Pulse Marketing from Bishop's Stortford, the UK distributor of Procella Audio speakers.

Founders
Procella Audio Ltd was founded in 2006 by Mr. Anders Uggelberg and Mr. Gerben Van Duyl, both now former directors of DTS, the surround sound technology company based out of Los Angeles. Anders Uggelberg was Director of Cinema Technology for DTS and Gerben Van Duyl was Director of Consumer Content Development. After having developed the first Procella Audio speaker for the DTS Theatre in the European headquarters of DTS, both gentlemen decided it was more fun to design and build high quality surround sound speaker systems and implement them in the very best home theatre projects, mix and recording studios upgrades and DCI spec cinema designs out there.
