Stage A’s system is capable of playing back upward of 400 tracks simultaneously and can accommodate all formats up to and including IMAX.
According to Academy Award-winning sound mixer Jeffrey Perkins (Dances With Wolves), “Stage A is quite simply a really great-sounding room and provides a first-class experience. Also, the fact that it’s located in Santa Monica is a huge plus for all of the directors who live on the Westside.”
