“The 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 Radiance Pro 5244 video processor at CEDIA 2025.
“Lumagen is unrivaled for its video scaling, HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping, precise lip-sync control and low latency game-mode with full processing,” says Jim. ‘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.” Radiance Pro 5244 has a MSRP of $8,745.
Meanwhile, Seymour-Screen Excellence will demonstrate TRIM, reportedly the industry’s least-expensive motorised film screen masking system.
“With its Radiant White perfectly smooth screen material and new fabric velvet motorised 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,” says Managing Director Chris Seymour.
TRIM will be presented at 120-inches wide in 16:9. Its 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 colour and video performance. It starts by utilising 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 grey scale. Digital Projection has combined this new chip with pure RGB laser illumination, the result of which is spectacular colour (REC 2020) performance without any of the colour wheel artifacts inherent to single-chip DLP,” comments Digital Projection Sales VP, George Walter. The MSRP is $26,999.
Trinnov Audio brings its expertise in audio processing and speaker/room optimisation 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 adds. The MSRP of the 24-channel Altitude32-1624 is $37,500.
NextLevel Acoustics’ Cinema Pro LCRs will anchor the front soundstage, with its Cinema 8s utilised 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 15in subwoofers deliver deep, articulate low-frequency energy. All-in-all, 19 speakers as a 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos package for a system comes with a MSRP of $52,000.
SPEAKERPOWER will premiere several new Class D amplifiers in SR11. Two of the brand’s HTRx8-400 elite eight-channel home theatre amplifiers (with a MSRP of $1,999 each) will drive the NextLevel Acoustics LCR, surround and Atmos layers, with its HTRx4-700 amplifier (a MSRP of $1,499) driving the four NLA subwoofers.
