Ambisound technology

Ambisound technology produces truly
embracing multi-channel surround sound from
fewer speakers. It delivers an immersive 5.1
sound experience without the constraints of
sitting position, room shape or size, and
without the clutter of multiple speakers and
cables. Through the combined effect of
psychoacoustic phenomena, array processing
and precisely angled driver positioning,
Ambisound delivers more sound from fewer
speakers.

to you the millions and millions of colours that
occur in reality — and taking your viewing
experience to new heights.

Designed to support our Ambisound
technology, these HD speaker cones are
geometrically designed to control the optimal
directivity pattern. Using newly developed
compact dense fibre-treated speaker cones,
the speakers are able to reproduce the finest
details from the most demanding HD sources.

Blu-ray Discs have the capacity to carry high
definition data, along with pictures in the 1920
x 1080 resolution that defines full high
definition images. Scenes come to life as details
leap at you, movements smoothen and images
