Theatre Sound Slimmer than Wall-Mounted LCDs

Soundmatters Europe, a division of Dahl Audio Electronic GmbH, is showing off the SLIMstage all-in-one speaker consoles that complement flat panel plasma and LCD TVs from 32” to 62”.

Of three models (SLIMstage 30, 40 and 50 at 785mm, 990mm, and 1230mm respectively), the SLIMstage 40 is hitting Europe first. Measuring 39” W x 3.3” H x 3.4” D, it features four class-D power amplifiers. Deep bass extension comes from nine bass drivers including three down firing Extreme Energy subwoofers assisted by six mass radiators so low frequencies can reach 45MHz.

But the real star of the system is Euphony HD, a new virtual surround technology that creates 5.1-channel while recreating Dolby Digital and DTS imaging or even plain old stereo sound.
