What is IMAX 12-channel Sound System? 6l4i4k

IMAX 12-channel sound is the newest sound feature of IMAX theatres. It lets the audiences experience a new kind of powerful, and more immersive sound while watching the movie. In the IMAX 12-channel sound system, the viewers won’t feel that the sounds are coming from the speakers that surround the whole theatre. In this sound system, the background music and the sound of a conversation in a single scene will blend. Hence, the people feel that the sound escalation in the whole theatre room is very smooth.

Sword Art Online: Synopsis 61513r

There’s no way to beat this game. The only difference is when and where you die…”
One month has ed since Akihiko Kayaba’s deadly game began, and the body count continues to rise. Two thousand players are already dead.


Kirito and Asuna are two very different people, but they both desire to fight alone. Nonetheless, they find themselves drawn together to face challenges from both within and without. Given that the entire virtual world they now live in has been created as a deathtrap, the surviving players of Sword Art Online are starting to get desperate, and desperation makes them dangerous to loners like Kirito and Asuna. As it becomes clear that solitude equals suicide, will the two be able to overcome their differences to find the strength to believe in each other, and in so doing survive?
