Audio Excellence – the High Sensitivity / High SPL Sound System from Screen Excellence – Returns to CEDIA Expo to Demonstrate Just How Remarkable Home Cinema Sound Can Be Screen Excellence CEO Patrice Congard -- known as the originator of the modern, woven-fabric acoustically transparent film screen and also a seasoned loudspeaker designer -- has developed the Audio Excellence Series. Created to complement the A.T. film screen, the components consist of limited-range high-SPL speakers used as LCRs behind the film screen and surrounds, plus multiple subwoofers, rack-mountable multi-channel amplifiers and DSP crossovers. The Audio Excellence systems employ Patrice’s approach to loudspeaker design, layout logic and signal routing, all influenced from his experience in the pro audio world. Leveraged by the “Congard Code”, a simplistic home theater sound system design approach that maximizes the initial wavefront from the LCRs, the systems deliver what Patrice confidently says is “the most realistic and powerful bass response achieved in a home theater sound system today.” An Audio Excellence 9.1.4 system will be demonstrated at Expo with booth partners Seymour-Screen Excellence and Wolf Projectors (Sound Room 10). In 2017, the trio’s demo was hailed Best Home Theater Demo by AVS Forum, and a top demo by AVNirvana and Sound and Vision Magazine, with CEDIA Daily designating the Audio Excellence system a “Hot Product” for the past two consecutive years. Rendlesham-Suffolk, England – September 10, 2019 – Acoustically transparent-specialized film screen brand Screen Excellence is tapping 2019 CEDIA Expo to again demonstrate to today’s discerning home cinema designers just how truly accurate and remarkable sound reproduction can be. The company’s Audio Excellence systems consist of several limited-range loudspeaker options, subwoofers, rack-mountable multi-channel amplifiers and DSP crossovers to accommodate from 5.1 to complete immersive audio setups.
