Kaleidescape, maker of the ultra-high-quality movie players, and Keith Yates Design (KYD), the world-renowned master of the science of theater design and acoustical engineering, today announced a strategic partnership that is designed to raise the bar for cinematic experiences in the home.
KYD, with its award-winning versatile creative designs and acoustical engineering, is the preferred choice for Hollywood’s elite customers, often selected by major directors, producers, sound specialists, and cinematographers. In 2019 KYD was awarded AVS Forum’s prestigious Home Theater of the Decade for its design of The Hahn Theater, an inspiring project conducted with cinematographer Rob Hahn that received global recognition.
