equipment that they have is the sound system that makes the audience to hear the sound,
they have the new technology sound system and that is managed by the staff so that the
audience is able to hear the voice equally and a perfect sound as possible, and the
technicians of ODEON cinema are the ones that monitor the sound system so that if there
