Sonic presents:

Surrounded by SoundEXPERIENCING MOVIE MAGIC THROUGH AUDIO

Imagine the shower scene from Psycho. The approaching shark fin in Jaws. Julie Andrews atop the Austrian mountains. Chances are, it’s not just an image, but a sound that comes to mind. Actors’ voices, sound effects, theme songs and musical scoring can make or break a movie. When it comes to the big screen, your ears play a big role.
