The screen in your home theater dazzles your eyes with vivid colors, crystal clear picture, and seamless action sequences. However, it’s the sound system that gives your experience in the cinema the depth needed to transport you to another world. You don’t truly feel like you are in another realm until you hear the realistic sounds swirl around you. This is not easily achieved though. You can’t place seven speakers around you and expect to get the full effect of being in a commercial-grade theater. Only a professional audio video installer can provide the high-quality surround systems you need to achieve a truly memorable, cinematic event at home. Steinway Lyngdorf audio systems are our trusted and preferred brand for custom home theaters in Southern California. So if you live in the Rancho Santa Fe or Del Mar area and want to know more about the Steinway difference, keep reading.

What is 3D Audio?

The 3D craze hasn’t ended. You can still go to a local theater and choose between a standard or 3D viewing. However, many people have never heard of 3D audio, which is becoming the standard today in commercial cinemas. 3D audio is a particular format that separates individual pieces of sound into objects and then moves them in a three-dimensional space. This is accomplished by placing multiple speakers around the room, including behind and overhead, to distribute the sounds from one point in the space to another. For example, if you are watching a movie and a plane moves from the east to the west in the sky, your audio system will move that sound object of the plane moving from one speaker in the corner to another on the other side to simulate a realistic effect. The good news is that you can enjoy 3D audio in your own home. One of the most popular formats, Dolby Atmos, can be experienced using a Steinway Lyngdorf audio system.

The Steinway Lyngdorf Difference

The Model P200 Surround Sound Processor delivers 4K and 3D video support, as well as advanced HDMI switching and 100% digital audio. Compared to other traditional systems, the audio stream is kept entirely in the digital domain while maintaining the full scale and resolution of the original signal. This means that there is no digital to analog conversion, ensuring the sound replays fully intact and gives you the purest sound possible.

This model supports every audio format available, including immersive surround sound by Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, and DTS:X. The P200 is equipped with Steinway’s RoomPerfect technology, where each speaker adjusts to the specifications of your room to achieve perfect audio performance. You don’t have to worry about extensive acoustical treatments or interior design adjustments. With RoomPerfect, the technology adapts the sound system to your unique environment and takes echoes, reflections, and absorptions into account for optimal performance.

Not only does the P200 deliver the most high-definition surround sound experience possible, but it can also support up to five 4K video streams and display four different images at once on your screen.
