Dirac, StormAudio & Perlisten Are Bringing A 11.7.6 Channel Home Theater System To High-End Munich 2023

24 channels of thunderous home theater surround sound are coming to High-End Munich 2023. Dirac, Perlisten and StormAudio plan on blowing your mind.

Storm Audio ISP Elite MK3 Home Theater Processor

Sweden-based Dirac has teamed up with StormAudio and Perlisten to showcase the most advanced and immersive home theater demo ever delivered at High-End Munich from May 18-21.

The exhibit will provide attendees with the opportunity to experience an unprecedented level of home theater sound that combines the intelligence of the new Dirac Live Active Room Treatment software with StormAudio’s powerful ISP Elite MK3 Immersive Sound Processor and a THX Certified Dominus Perlisten 11.7.6 surround sound system. The demo will be presented at Messe München in Atrium 3.1, rooms D111 and C112.

Dirac

The custom-built home theater room is designed to show off the capabilities and patented technologies of Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (first shown at CES 2023 this past January). This technology can optimize audio output for any system with two or more speakers, in any room, reducing the need for expensive physical acoustic treatment products.

StormAudio units purchased before January 1st will be upgradeable with Dirac Live Active Room Treatment after the Spring 2023 firmware update by purchasing a license from Dirac’s online store at $299.

Perlisten

The 15-seat demo home theater is the first THX-certified Dominus home theater ever showcased at High End and utilizes an impressive Perlisten 11.7.6 surround sound system that includes S Series In-Wall Speakers and seven D-Series subwoofers.

We’re thrilled to help create this exciting space and event for the show so we can give industry insiders, professional integrators, and the general public their first look at the future of home theater audio.”

    There used to be a magazine called (I think) “Audio-Video Interiors. I subscribed to look at the what they wealthy were doing and to aspire to one day having something like they did albeit a LOT less expensive and fancy.

    This 11.7.6 set up is for the wealthy and I have no problem with that for if they earned the money they an certainly spend it how they see fit!

    But it is too much for me. 🙂 I bet it will sound great in the right (read: HUGE!) environment. Casa de’ORT is not that environment, LOL!

    About Stomr Audio, I have heard around $24.000 for each processor and amplifier.

    If I want to replace my first TECHNICS amplifier class A : $2500 (bought $400)
    If I want to replace my old high-end NIKON Camera : $5000 (bought $3200)
    If I want to replace my old corean car, to an electric one : 40.000 (bought 22.000)

    Strangely enough, during this time my salary has only increased by 20%, which is very good. But I lost purchasing power… 🙁

    The market is coming crazy 🙁

      CherryLi,

      If you think the market is crazy you need only look at the maroons that feel they should control it by controlling us.

      I wish you all the best in upgrading your equipment!
