Emiko E. Carlin, CEO of T.H.E. Enterprises and President of T.H.E. Show added, “While SVS has been a long-time exhibitor with T.H.E. Show, it’s truly wonderful to expand upon our experience with them. Now being able to offer and showcase their systems as part of T.H.E. Film Festival in multiple locations really drives home a joint and shared mission of making not only a HiFi audio experience available to everyone, but also an incredible theatrical experience as well. Additionally, by doing this, SVS is actively participating in bridging the gap between creators of music and film and those who pride themselves in being audio and cinephiles. We are grateful that SVS is our official speaker system provider for T.H.E. Film Festival in Austin and SoCal and we know attendees will have a blast at the festival, which will be part of both shows.”
