GefenTV Home Theater Audio Processor and Companion Speakers Offer Easy Way to Create Surround Sound Anywhere

CHATSWORTH, CA

Connectivity solutions provider Gefen today announced that its GefenTV Home Theater Audio Processor and optional five-set, wall-mountable speakers are now shipping.

These two products work in concert to enable a plug and play method of creating surround sound audio in any room using primarily audio extracted from the HDMI input from any Blu-ray player, gaming system or set-top box.

A digital audio input is also available.

The GefenTV Home Theater Audio Processor comes equipped with a variety of both analog and digital audio connections so consumers can select the best sound delivery for their particular entertainment system. There are six analog (25 watts RMS per channel) RCA outputs that support 5.1 Dolby surround sound and can connect to any amplifier achieve the perfect combination of amp/pre-amp so desired in home theater systems. Front right and left channels are bi-amped to improve sound quality.

The GefenTV Conference Room Speakers are ideally matched to the Home Theater Audio Processor’s speaker binding posts, offering powerful sound quality for small to mid-sized rooms. Each two-way speaker offers a ported design with built-in wall mountable capability. Speakers are sleek, attractively packaged, engineered for fine quality sound and tuned specifically for the Home Theater Audio Processor. Their elegant finish is designed to match any décor. Together, these two products supply excellent surround sound in bedrooms, dens, dorms and small conference rooms.

Alternatively, powered speakers can be connected directly to the Home Theater Audio Processor’s left, right, front left, front right, rear left, rear right, subwoofer and center positions. Finally, one coax input can be passed through in both TOSlink and coax formats, directly connecting digital audio to an existing A/V receiver.

The one HDMI input that supplies audio for the Processor is also split and delivered to two HDMI outputs at the same time, allowing for dual screens or HDTV displays to be connected locally. Both HDMI outputs deliver 1080p full HD video with deep color and 3DTV pass-through capability, as well as multi-channel audio supporting lip sync, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio.

A high contrast LCD display and front panel buttons on the Home Theater Audio Processor give access to a variety of control features and status information so consumers can finely tune the entire system. An IR remote control and RS-232 connection are also included for full control.

Both the Home Theater Audio Processor and the five-set Conference Room Speakers are available to purchase. Speakers may also be purchased in separate 3-set and 2-set options.

We did make the Momentums of our Serenity speakers.
They are in a different league and how can that be ?

We did very different in x-over designs and took more cost into our designs.
Took the very best of Duelund Coherent audio designs and AudioTechnology and just took the very « un cost and the best » in to the peak designs. Did it all god !!

Peak Consult made the ultimate cabinets design and x-over design, all in Acrylic finishes with the attachment of real wood and took it to it’s own State of Art.

AudioTechnology:

« Audio technology are proud to present our two new drivers with the lightweight, ultra stiff sandwich cones.
The cones consist of two thin layers of carbon reinforced paper cones with a special resonance damping foam between.

The cones are 2 mm thick, but weigh nearly the same as our P cones.
They are coated with a thin ultraviolet protection coating, to avoid discolouring of the cones.

They are extremely stiff and play without break-ups in the recommended frequency area.
KA system is also integrated in the drivers, presenting deep, uncoloured rich bass – even at low levels.
The sound is fast, dry and undistorted.

Thanks to the KA system, you are able to “feel” the strings of the double bass, even at low levels. Drums are presented with an unusual impact – just the way we like it. »

Duelund Coherent Audio:

In a world defined by me-too products and the comfortable numbness of the status quo, few aspire to the truly great.
When new developments heralded as the second coming scarcely amount to more than a new lick of paint, what is needed is a no holds barred attitude towards research and development combined with optimum levels of execution in all areas.

Duelund Coherent Audio products fulfil this statement of intent and go one better by incorporating the best of classic and sound engineering principles combined with radical thinking and the refusal of conformity.

Crossover components

Why accept components in your audio system far more suited for life inside a computer. With the Duelund range of crossover components you don’t have to.
All are made from natural materials with the emphasis solely on your musical enjoyment.
From time to time, we get the question if a Duelund capacitor is simply a re-branded Jensen capacitor, as is so often seen in the industry.

The short answer is « absolutely not! », whereas the more detailed response is that we do collaborate with Jensen Capacitors, but the products themselves have nothing in common with a standard Jensen capacitor besides being a « wet » capacitor.

Peak Consult

Did something that no other company would try and could afford on the line in normal production.

Proud to be the last boy scout in Hi-Fi

Davone Rithm

I’ve just been in contact with Paul Schenkel, designer and CEO of Davone Audio in Denmark. As a result of some economies of scale, he has made a DRASTIC reduction in price to us such that we will be able to offer the Davone RITHM at a retail price of $3,995.00 per pair.

This represents a price that is more than $1,500 lower than the original retail price, and certainly re-categorizes the RITHM.

ALSO: Davone has elected to discontinue the Oak and Black color options, as the Walnut version was the only one people loved.

LASTLY: Davone is positioning to sell the RITHM in an unfinished wood, which would allow the dealer or client to have the cabinet finished in any number of custom stains, dyes, paints, etc.

This expands the potential for the RITHM to be sold into custom-install situations and into homes for which there are no « perfect » finish options available otherwise.

As always, we are looking for a few more bricks-and-mortar dealers that are looking to expand their catalog to include audiophile « crossover » products that are as appealing to look at as they are to listen to.
