Contributors include AV Partners, Bespoke Cinemas, Kaleidescape, Tributaries, Home Theater Gurus, Kinetics Noise Control, and Thrillcat Cinema Lab.
“Total system MSRP for our SR11 demo is $174K. With a cinema marquee that reads Paragons of Home Cinema: Power, Precision, and Perfection, we will demonstrate just how phenomenal a home cinema experience in this price range can be,” says Jim Peterson, founder and President of Lumagen, Inc.
Lumagen will demonstrate its award-winning Radiance Pro 5244 video processor. “Lumagen is unrivaled for its video scaling, HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping, precise lip-sync control, and low latency game-mode with full processing. The 5244’s low electrical noise and measured ultra-low jitter for improved audio quality, in conjunction with the world’s best in-motion video processing, will allow attendees to ‘Hear and See what the director intended™,’” said Peterson. Radiance Pro 5244 MSRP is $8,745.
Seymour-Screen Excellence will demonstrate TRIM, the industry's least-expensive motorized film screen masking system. “With its Radiant White perfectly smooth screen material and new fabric velvet motorized masks, the TRIM screen automatically adjusts to the correct aspect ratio as detected by the Lumagen video processor. And like all Seymour-Screen Excellence’s screens, the TRIM is custom hand-made in Iowa,” said Managing Director Chris Seymour. TRIM will be presented at 120-inches wide in 16:9. MSRP as shown with controls is $10,523.
Digital Projection will demonstrate its new E-Vision 10000i 4K+ RGB projector. “This projector offers the ultimate in color and video performance. It starts by utilizing the latest DLP chip from Texas Instruments - the HEP .8 DMD. This High Efficiency Pixel chip brings several upgraded features including higher contrast, better fill factor, and improved gray scale. Digital Projection has combined this new chip with pure RGB laser illumination, the result of which is spectacular color (REC 2020) performance without any of the color wheel artifacts inherent to single-chip DLP,” said Digital Projection Sales VP George Walter. MSRP $26,999.
Trinnov Audio brings its mastery in audio processing and speaker/room optimization to the demo by way of the company’s award-winning reference Altitude32 immersive audio processor. “Visitors will experience our revolutionary WaveForming™ technology, which delivers unprecedented impact, clarity and detail in the low frequencies, with exceptional uniformity to every seat in the room,” says Trinnov Audio, Inc. Managing Director Chuck Back. “WaveForming is available to all Altitude owners, thanks to our unique hardware platform that enables us to improve the performance of customers’ units over time through free software updates,” he added. MSRP of the 24-channel Altitude32-1624 is $37,500.
NextLevel Acoustics’ Cinema Pro LCRs will anchor the front soundstage, with their Cinema 8s utilized for immersive surround and rear channel coverage. “Our Cinema series speakers integrate horns with proprietary crossovers, the result of which is an incredible soundstage and cinematic presence from these LCR’s small form factor,” says NextLevel Acoustics owner Lee Weber. The brand’s CI-IC44As will be used for Atmos height channels, and four High Velocity 15” subwoofers deliver deep, articulate low-frequency energy. All-in-all 19 speakers as a 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos package for a system MSRP of $52,000.
SPEAKERPOWER will premiere several new Class D amplifiers in SR11. Two of the brand’s HTRx8-400 elite 8-channel home theater amplifiers (MSRP $1,999 each) will drive the NextLevel Acoustics LCR, surround and Atmos layers, with its HTRx4-700 amplifier (MSRP $1,499) driving the four NLA subwoofers. “Whether you are upgrading your own system or installing for a client, these new amplifiers bring powerful, high-fidelity sound to any setup - all packed into an elegant, modern chassis and at remarkable prices,” says SPEAKERPOWER General Manager Rigoberto Orozco. At Expo the HTRx8-400 and HTRx4-700 will be offered at limited-time introductory prices of $1,499 and $1,199 respectively.
