PMC Loudspeakers will take centre stage at the forthcoming International CES in the Auro-3D demonstration suite, to “immerse visitors in a new standard of sound reproduction and high resolution audio, which is more realistic than anything that has gone before”.

The PMC twenty series will be utilised for all the channels in the 9.1 Auro-3D system on demonstration at the Venetian Exhibit Suite 31-336. The front left and right channels will be handled by the recently released three-way flagship from the range, the twenty.26. Centre channel duties fall on the twenty.C and the rear channels will be provided by the twenty.23 compact floorstanders.

“Where Auro-3D takes its name from is in the adding of a third dimension of sound, namely front and rear height channels”. The diminutive twenty.21 speakers will provide this all important height information to create the cocoon-like sound sensation. Low frequency effects will be provided courtesy of the TLE1 active subwoofer.

“Auro-3D’s immersive sound technology, with height channels providing that hitherto missing dimension, is a leap forward for the reproduction of movies, gaming, broadcast and multi-media soundtracks” says the press release, with PMC’s creative director, Keith Tonge, adding, “The entirely realistic immersion in sound offered by Auro-3D has to be experienced to be believed. We are very proud to be involved with Auro’s demonstration at the International CES and know that the visitors to the company’s suite will be blown away, not only by the sound experience, but by the clarity and realism provided by the twenty series.”
