Alcons Audio and Astro Spatial Audio to Provide Demos at AES

At the end of September, Alcons Audio USA will be exhibiting at the AES Convention in Los Angeles for the first time. In a joint presence with immersive audio specialists Astro Spatial Audio, Alcons will be demonstrating how its systems take listeners to the next level of three-dimensional sound technology.

Alcons' AES debut follows a recent, highly successful series of 3D sound demonstrations with Astro Spatial Audio in LA and Las Vegas, as well as an imminent second year showcasing the Alcons Pro-Ribbon Immersive Experience at the CEDIA home technology show in Dallas.

Demonstrating in AES demo room 511C, visitors to AES will discover how Alcons loudspeakers are the natural counterpart to Astro Spatial Audio's ground-breaking SARA 3D audio rendering technology. Using state-of-the-art advancements, the SARA system delivers a truly immersive experience, making it ideal for facilities including theatres, opera houses, concert venues, theme parks, and houses of worship.

Alcons loudspeaker systems feature proprietary, multiple-patented, pro-ribbon transducer technology, which delivers the ultimate clarity, detail and up to 90% less distortion, without sacrificing any of the power demanded by entertainment audiences. These qualities ensures that audiences in the immersive 3D envelope hear everything -- from the quietest to the loudest sounds -- with stunning clarity.

The AES demonstrations will feature a 10-position speaker layout, plus front and rear cardioid subs, utilizing a range of Alcons pro-ribbon systems, including LR7 micro line-array (RBN401 4" pro-ribbon HF + 6.5" LF), QR24 line-source module (2x RBN1203 12" pro-ribbon HF + 6x 6.5" LF), and the BC332 18"+ 15" self-contained cardioid subwoofer. All systems will be AES3-digitally driven by Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controllers.

"The previous demonstrations in LA and Las Vegas with Astro Spatial Audio were a great success, so we are looking forward to AES visitors witnessing the remarkable audio soundscapes that are possible with SARA and Alcons systems," says Alcons Audio US national sales manager David Rahn. "We received orders as a direct result of the earlier demos and we are sure that people will be equally impressed at AES."

The 2016 AES Convention takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center September 29 to October 2.
