IMAX Loudspeakers Blow Out Candles

In an IMAX theatre, the sound is so powerful you can feel it. To demonstrate this power, this video clip shows IMAXs sub-bass loudspeakers moving enough air to extinguish candles!

IMAXs digital audio system features proprietary loudspeaker technology with five discrete audio channels. The system enables the audience to pinpoint the specific location of each sound. In addition to the five channels, there are also multiplesub-bass loudspeakers, as seen in this video.

Its cool how the rising smoke continues to move with the sound waves all the way up.

my little 6'' sub can do this if I just put the candle next to the port.. nothing spectacular about that.

[zac856314]

my speakers could do that.

although my house would be surrounded by cops in a matter of seconds

@ScricyWestside And you never did it?

[iluvrock92]

"Okay lets try

24Hz it blew out (LOL at this rate I’m, going to be out of matches before I’m out of candles) I need to pop out in jiffy to buy a few boxes or lighter.

5Hz it blew out

20Hz it blew out at -8db

Now since low frequency sine wave tones, for the two subs is patched though the audio mixer I could be slightly off the mark.

I need to patch the lead direct to AVR…

Okay 20Hz at -21db the candle flame blew out at 4”."

So a simple sine wave will have the same effect.

I’ve ran a battery of test using sine wave tones on my sub.

Quote from my post over at LHF site

"I tried a sine wave at 23Hz and increased level to -3db the flame blew out. (Sooty DOWN!) Sooty is showing curiosity of the test I’m doing.

I’ll make a video later on but I can’t get the webcam where I want it to be unless I have an USB extension cable for it, so I’d have to aim the camera from the far end looking across the room."

@myuutsuuCMCE LOL Somehow I doubt that. You have any clue how large they are! You wouldn’t have enough room to swing a cat around once you fit all those in your room.
