X and XL are remarkable new loudspeaker
systems that combine the elegant form factor of a soundbar with
the extraordinary sonic performance of a true surround system. The
aesthetically compelling visual appeal of a soundbar is undeniable.
Unfortunately, typical passive and active soundbars fail to achieve
a truly convincing surround-sound experience when compared to a
high-quality, fully discrete 5.1-channel surround system. GoldenEar
has developed a unique new 3-channel front soundstage soundbar
technology that incorporates special 3D image optimization technology
to achieve superbly lifelike, wide, deep 3D playback realism with
virtually no acoustic coloration.
This technology, pioneered by Sandy Gross, eectively addresses
certain problems that have been brought up recently in a 3D audio
research project being conducted by Dr. Edgar Choueiri at Princeton
University. Dr. Choueiri points out that the crosstalk that exists between
the left and right loudspeakers and our contralateral ears, especially
when the left and right channels are minimally separated as we
normally encounter in soundbar systems, is deleterious to our ability
to fully experience and process the imaging cues so necessary for 3D
imaging perception. These imaging cues are present in the recordings
but dramatically corrupted in typical soundbar playback.
The 3D Array Soundbars incorporate left-, center- and right-channel
speakers, plus a second set of drivers that utilize 3D Array Technology to
eectively cancel out this crosstalk distortion between the left and right
channel. The result is a front soundstage that stretches from wall to wall
and beyond, with amazing height, width and depth that eectively
envelops the listeners in a true 180-degree plus soundeld, much wider
than the actual physical soundbar. All this is contained within a sleek,
attractive 2.7" thin enclosure that perfectly complements the latest
super-thin at panel TVs. Exceptional performance is achieved with or
without optional surround speakers. When the 3D Arrays are combined
with surrounds (like our SuperSat 3s or Invisas) and a powered GoldenEar
ForceField 3 or 4 Subwoofer, the result is a mind-boggling true surround-
sound experience that rivals discrete 6-speaker systems. In fact, they
actually surpasses all but the very best in the ability to dramatically
recreate the realism of a live performance or a cinematic event.
The 3D Array Soundbars incorporate six or eight of GoldenEars cast
spiderleg-basket 4.5˝ bass-midrange drivers with our unique Multi-
Vaned Phase Plugs (MVPP
). In addition, there are 3 of GoldenEar’s
extraordinary High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeters (HVFR
).
Both utilize our new, patent pending, Mag-X Coupling
Cross-
over Technology, which delivers improved 3D imaging as well as
smoother response and greater detail. The 3D Array X is an ideal match
for 48˝ to 60" TVs, the 3D Array XL for 65" - and up TV's. The beautiful
piano-gloss-black-nished cabinets are aerospace-grade extruded
aluminum with a marble-powder-infused bae and end-caps. They can
be easily wall-mounted using their keyhole mounts or threaded brass
inserts, or shelf-mounted using their adjustable rear support.
