Open-air cinema with headphones: silent screenings in town squares, parks, and unique venues

The screen under the stars, the movie’s audio right in your headphones. Every viewer hears dialogue and soundtrack crisply, while all around stays silent: no speakers, no disturbance for neighbors and residents.

Summer film series, movies in the city, multilingual screenings, and nights with two movies playing at once.

Cinema beyond the theater

Movies in the city

Summer film series in town squares, courtyards, parks, and residential neighborhoods: screenings can run late without disturbing the people who live nearby.

Double feature

Two movies at the same time in the same space, each on its own channel: viewers choose which one to follow from their headphones.

Multilingual screenings

The same movie in its original language and dubbed version on separate channels, for international audiences or foreign-language film series.

Exclusive venues and private events

Hotels, villas, beaches, rooftops, and corporate events: a private cinema under the stars, anywhere there’s room for a screen.

How it works

From the projector to the headphones in three steps

01

The movie’s audio

The audio output of the projector, player, or computer connects to the transmitter. One channel for each movie or language.

02

The RF transmitter

Sound is sent via radio frequency to every headphone in the audience, with low latency to stay in sync with the picture.

03

The headphones

Each viewer adjusts the volume and selects the channel: clear dialogue and an immersive soundtrack, even in the back row.

Why headphone cinema

The whole movie, none of the noise

  • Immersive audio: every detail of the soundtrack goes straight to your ears.
  • No disturbance: ideal for historic downtowns, residential neighborhoods, and protected areas.
  • More movies, more languages: separate channels for different programs on the same night.
  • Same sound for everyone: quality doesn’t depend on how far you sit from the screen.
  • Lightweight setup: no sound system to install around the audience.
