Soundmatters has announced the industry’s first high-performance, low-profile all-one-surround speaker/amplifier/processor console, SLIMstage40TM. The new SLIMstage40TM is a Utra Slim audiophile quality powered surround bar. SLIMstage is slimmer than most wall-mounted plasma and LCD TV’s, and at only 3.5” tall. It features 170 Watts from eight internal amplifiers, yet it measures a scant 3.3” (H) x 3.4” (D) x 39” (W).

SLIMstage40 features four Linear Magnetic DriveTM main/satellite speakers in its compact console, along with 170-watts of class-D amplification. Bass extension is achieved without an external subwoofer by way of nine bass drivers, including three down-firing Extreme-EnergyTM subs assisted by six mass radiators, with reproduction down to 45Hz.

Developed exclusively for SLIMstage, EuphonyHD is a virtual surround technology that produces a well-developed virtual 5.1-channel virtual surround soundstage with a clear center channel image. From a single cabinet, EuphonyHD not only faithfully recreates Dolby®Digital and DTS® imaging, but it creates a realistic 5.1 soundfield from 2-channel signals as well.

Along with its 13 speaker driver array are several convenience features, including three digital audio inputs (two optical, one coax), three analog inputs (two on the rear panel plus one front iPod® input), as well as a virtual surround headphone output jack.

Additional features include a high-contrast LED backlit panel graphics display for easy viewing across a room, a user-friendly IR remote, front panel controls, RS-232 port, and both “easy tilt” shelf feet and a wall bracket.

soundmatters international’s SLIMstage40 is available now at a suggested retail price of $899… $1199 when optionally “bundled” with the award-winning SUBstage100 subwoofer. SLIMstage and all soundmatters products will be on display at the CEDIA EXPO, Denver, CO, Sept. 4-7, Booth #SR-8.
