The theater

Cosmonova's projection dome is 23 meters in diameter, and is made of perforated aluminum, with a total surface area of 760 m². The panels are perforated in order to let sound pass through the dome, and also are an essential part of the ventilation system for the theater.

The surface of the dome is finished with a special, electrostatically applied paint. The reflectivity of the screen is 35%.

The theater has 262 seats including three places for wheelchairs.

The backs of the seats are tilted at different angles depending on which row in the theater they located. The tilt varies in order to have the best visual experience regardless of where you sit.

Sound system

Audio is provided via a six channel sound system, with a separate sub-bass system, that can cover a frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Total amplification for the system is 15,200 Watts, delivering up to 110 dB sound pressure levels.

The main sound source for the six channel system is a DDP-2 digital hard disk-based system.

IMAX® Dome Projector

IMAX® Dome (Formerly known as Omnimax®) utilizes the world's largest film format; 70mm, 15 perf. It is ten times larger than the 35mm film used in most movie theaters. The large film format adds a heightened dimension of brightness, realism and sharpness not found in smaller film formats. Employing a fisheye lens, the projector can cover an angle of 180° by 125°, allowing the audience to become a part of the action projected onto the dome overhead.
