Executive Overview
Final Sound Solutions has begun shipping
the Final Sound HD Receiver 201, the first compact virtual surround sound system
to integrate high-end electrostatic speakers and a subwoofer for seamless
integration. The Final Sound HD Receiver 201, the corner stone of the Final
Sound HD System 8 family, combines a 75-Watt Audio/Video receiver with two high-definition
electrostatic speakers and a subwoofer. This unique receiver combines a DVD/CD
player and a virtual surround sound DSP chip. The Final Sound HD System 8 also
includes a matching subwoofer, the Final Sound S95 subwoofer, but can also use
two other models of Final Sound subwoofers.
The HD Receiver is a
compact virtual surround sound system that reportedly creates a unique figure-eight-shaped
sound wave that fills any size room without the sound reflections that plague
other virtual surround designs, bringing the extraordinary sound quality and
clarity of high-definition virtual surround to consumers— even in larger rooms!
In addition, the HD Receiver easily scales any source to a quality 1080p in
HDMI.
The Final Sound HD Receiver features an integrated
Tuner/CD/DVD/MP3 player and lets the consumer select from four different models
of Final Sound’s ultra thin, electrostatic loudspeakers.
Setting up the Final Sound 201 receiver is easy. After connecting the
speakers, subwoofer, and television to the receiver, an intuitive on-screen
display navigates the user through the configuration process. By selecting from
the list of speaker models, the system will automatically configure the
crossover and filter settings, ensuring that the panels are perfectly matched
with the subwoofer.
Once the system is configured, the system can create
the surround sound effects for that favorite DVD. An added benefit of the system
is when you are done with that favorite movie, the system is able to create a
very detailed and life-like musical experience that electrostatic speakers are
famous for, using a standard two-channel recording from a CD.
The HD
Receiver, paired with Final Sound’s line of electrostatic speakers leverages
Final’s patented Inverter Technology to deliver a room-filling surround sound
effect – more powerful and lifelike than ever before. Since Final Sound panels
are line array dipole speakers, the sound reaches deeper into a room with
virtually no reflections from the audio signal bouncing off the wall, floor, or
the ceiling. In addition, the panels successfully separate high tones from
medium low tones on the diaphragm of a speaker, resulting in a broader stereo
image.
The Final Sound HD Receiver 201
bundled with the S95, S110 and S220 is now available. Suggested retail price for
the HD Receiver with the S95 begins at $999.00 (USD). Panels are priced
separately, depending on selection. For more information, please visit www.finalsound.com.
