Ne plus ultra Speakers
Posted by: | Comments
The Ne Plus Ultra speakers are the world’s most expensive speakers at a cool $2-million each. More than the price, these speakers are 7 feet tall and pack a huge punch. The system has such powerful amplifiers that produce a total of 31,000 watts in all. They newly designed system is huge and has 2 channels each. The Ne plus ultra which means in Latin, “no more beyond” is accurate to describe these speakers. This massive, hand made system is exactly what its name implies, at least in terms of cost which is about a million bucks per channel, making it the most expensive speaker system in the world. This product is made by a Swedish manufacturer, Transmission Audio. The speakers consist of 12 separate, open-baffle dipole panels, each nearly seven feet tall. The panels are positioned in a mirror image pattern so less directional low frequencies are in the middle and the high frequencies are on the outside which create a stereo sound field. The entire system stretches 37 feet wide and weighs over 4 tons. The super system has its own power amps which generate 500 watts per channel for a grand total of 6 kilowatts. These are intended for 2-channel listening and would go well with a commercial grade digital cinema projector and a 40 foot screen too!
They would probably sound pretty nice next to this Sony Projector
Sony SRXS110 Projector
Posted by: | Comments
This SONY SRXS110 Projector packs a huge punch. This is not something you want to use for a PowerPoint presentation, but if you are looking for optimum digital cinema projection, then this should do it. This has a display resolution of 4096 by 2160 pixels (otherwise known as 4K resolution). You can display four high-definition images together and still have a few hundred thousand pixels left over. The top projection rate is 60 frames per second (compared with film’s 24 fps), and few films are actually shot and distributed in 4K. It handily up-rezzes lower-quality images, though, so even your DVD collection will look pretty hot. The cost for this superior quality machine is around $70,000 and $100,000. This has been developed to provide a forward looking solution to a wide range of image display applications by utilizing the highest resolution imaging chip available on the market. Keep in mind that you will need a larger screen to display this huge image on. Sizes of 200in. to 700in in dimension. This may be just what you are looking for if you have a home theater setup and want to make the movies truly come alive on screen.
