Mol, Belgium, 25 June 2015 – The Auro-3D® Crux™, one of Auro Technologies’ very own AV processors, has been selected to receive recognition as a Best in Show winner in the ‘Home A/V Components’ at CE Week 2015 in New York.

The Auro-3D® Crux™ is the first integrated true 3D sound home cinema processor to deliver high end audio features at a price point for a wide range of home cinemas and media rooms, making full immersive 3D sound available to those installations for the first time. It marks the next generation in high-resolution 3D audio. The Auro-3D® Crux™ brings professional cinema audio technology to the home with its stylish design, ideal for both in-room as well as rack mounted installations. Auro-3D® is set to revolutionize the home theatre world and creates the most immersive experience around the listener, which surpasses anything you’ve heard before.

The heart of the system is the “Auro-3D® Engine”, of which its Auro-Codec® Decoder allows playback of native Auro-3D® content, delivering high resolution audio in each channel of any Auro-3D® speaker layout (up to Auro 13.1). Other vital part of the “Auro-3D® Engine” is the Auro-Matic®, the most stunning upmixing algorithm on the market, which makes it possible to upmix Mono, Stereo and Surround into a full immersive Auro-3D® experience. This unique feature makes it even possible to re-enjoy all your favorite legacy music and movies at home in a totally new and heightened emotional experience.

The Auro-3D® Crux™ is the ideal choice for home cinema installations where price and performance are important considerations.

“We are incredibly proud to receive the highly coveted Best in Show award for the Auro-3D® Crux™ as the winner in the ‘Home A/V Components’ category at CE Week 2015. This is the second award the Crux™ has swept away and it shows the growing appreciation for Auro-3D® integrated devices and the unmatched immersive sound it is able to provide” said Wilfried Van Baelen, CEO of Auro Technologies.

The award is made based on review by Dealerscope Magazine editors measuring by several criteria, including usability, design, innovation, important features and overall user value. Dealerscope presented the award at the 2015 CE Week in New York.

About Auro Technologies:

Auro Technologies are the creators of the Auro-3D® format, a revolutionary development in audio. This exciting move from two-dimensional Surround sound (5.1/7.1) formats to Auro-3D® is a break-through achieved by adding the missing third dimension of “height” all around the listener achieving true “immersive sound”, introduced by its inventor, Wilfried Van Baelen. Auro-3D®’s emphasis by adding height layers and sound element to the overall sound experience is both revolutionary and a great technological leap forward – such a configuration provides the fullest possible immersion and allows the viewer, gamer or listener to be placed at the heart of a completely immersing sound experience.

Auro Technologies revolutionized cinema audio with “immersive sound”, thanks to its partnership with Barco. They now have over 550 digital cinema screens confirmed worldwide to be equipped with Auro 11.1 by Barco™. Many blockbuster films are being released in Auro-3D®, and music albums are already available on the market.

In 2013 Auro Technologies took the decision to take the 3D sound revolution out of the cinema and bring this totally new experience to the consumer market. Since then, Auro Technologies have been working to ensure that their unique Auro-3D® technology can be easily enjoyed in everyday life – home entertainment systems, gaming, smart phones, tablets, headphones, even the trusted family car. The unique coding technology behind Auro-3D® allows high-resolution audio in each channel using existing delivery formats and with full backwards compatibility - no extra bandwidth needed.
