AliceAlcons Audio will use CEDIA 2016 to showcase its Pro-Ribbon Immersive Experience, which can be found in High Performance Room 4, Arts District at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
A joint collaboration between Alcons, Barco Residential, Dreamscreen and Trinnov, the Alcons Pro-Ribbon Immersive Experience will allow CEDIA visitors to experience the company’s ability to deliver Hi-Fi sound at concert sound pressure levels in any size application.
The audio system, co-designed by residential integrator Cineramax, will be set-up as a 9.1.8 channel immersive surround configuration, comprising three Alcons Cinema Series CR3 Screen System three-way, pro-ribbon systems as L-C-R screen channels, plus 14 CRMS pro-ribbon surround systems for the top, side, rear and overhead surrounds.
Two slim 21” CB211 subwoofers will be used as LF extensions. The system will be driven by 24 channels of Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controllers, with ‘lossless’ digital feed of an AES3 96kHz signal by a Trinnov Altitude 32 processor.
This also connects the media player with a Barco Athena DCI projector with up to 4,500 lumens output, projecting on DreamScreen/ScreenAcoustics Ultra-HD acoustically-transparent screen fabric.
“Prosumer residential clients are looking for the same quality equipment as the professionals, with exceptional Hi-Fi sound,” says Alcons co-founder Tom Back.
“As the only manufacturer able to combine Hi-Fi sound with pro-grade SPL outputs Alcons, with its multiple-patented pro-ribbon transducer technology, is unique in being able to deliver what this market demands.
“The residential market is an increasingly important part of our business. This has followed the success we have experienced in the premium cinema market, in high-end screening rooms and post-production studios like Factory in London, Walt Disney, Universal, Lucasfilm, or recently Google/YouTube and Eikon group. We are very pleased with how popular the C-series is proving for our domestic customer base.”
“After last year’s success at CEDIA, we are looking forward to again showing what is possible in home theatre audio,” adds Alcons North American sales manager David Rahn. “The best way to demonstrate the quality of Alcons systems is to let people experience it with their own ears and we are looking forward to wowing CEDIA visitors again!”
CEDIA will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas from 15th-17th September.
