In their usual fashion, Harman put on a state of the art home theater demo at CEDIA this year. RBH Sound SV speakers at CEDIA 2015 Harman (JBL Synthesis) Experiencing the aerial battle clip from Unbroken was pretty mind blowing and had us hooked into seeing the whole movie. The bass was visceral, like getting punched in the gut by a sound wave, and the entire system held up perfectly at high volume levels. The overhead effects were subtle, adding ambiance without being distracting. The SI-744's did a great job providing broad coverage for the multi-row seating area despite only two height channels were used.
DOLBY ATMOS DEMO OCTOBER 2015 FULL
The brain of the system providing all of the immersive surround magic was the 16 channel Datasat RS20i AV preamp/processor with the full blown Dirac room correction system.įollowing with most manufacturers, the speakers were in a 7.2.2 configuration. The center speaker was an SV-821, SX-66 side surrounds, SX-8300/R for back channels and SI-744 in-ceiling bipolar speakers were used for the Atmos height channels. For the demo, the front speakers were SV-831s sitting on top of SV-1212s. For ultimate bass, you can create a spectacular - and spectacularly heavy - three speaker stack with an SV-1212 sub on bottom, SV-831 in the middle, and a second SV-1212 on top. The SV line starts at $1195/pr for the SV-61 bookshelf speakers and tops out with their modular SV-831 speaker ($TBD) and SV-1212 subwoofer ($TBD). They announced the SV line at CES 2015, but had yet to demo the speakers. We were particularly excited to stop by the RBH booth because they were demoing brand new speakers we've never had a chance to listen to. The BalancedForce subwoofers were a particular treat, but are you surprised? When haven't we liked multiple, expensive subwoofers in a system?ĬEDIA 2015 New Products & DTS:X Demo Results While this setup is a far cry from the Neolith we reviewed earlier in the year, they were still voiced in the same vein as every MartinLogan speaker we have listened to. The speakers were set up in a 7.2.4 configuration and driven by Anthem equipment. Bringing up the bottom end were two BalancedForce 212 subwoofers ($3995/ea). They featured Edge in-wall speakers ($1,699/ea), Axis in-wall speakers ($1149/ea), and EM-R in-ceiling speakers ($599/ea). As you'll notice in the images, most manufacturers have simple rooms with nothing but seating, speakers, and an equipment rack. MartinLogan showed off a completely redesigned demo room. The gecko’sįeet skittering across the sand in the into to Fury Road almost had us looking It's just that the Paradigm demo was really really good. This doesn't diminish our experience with MartinLogan demo.

All of them were a treat to sit through, and we knew they would be, which is why we wanted to swing by these demo rooms on the first day of the show. We listened to demos from Paradigm, MartinLogan, RBH Sound, Harman, Triad, Auro-3D, and Goldenear. Immersive Audio was abound at the show and it came in many forms via discrete box speakers all around, in-walls, in-ceiling and the less impressive reflection speakers. One of the highlights from our CEDIA trip each year is listening to demos from manufacturers. Updated: 12/17/15 with more demo coverage and YouTube video
