The first Dolby Atmos 7.4.4 setup in Malaysia

Those who had been to Dolby atmos cinema in Kuching would probably aware that the effect isn't as distinctive.  

I went for atmos movie at the local cinema and felt disappointed with the discrete atmos channels. Somehow, it's either bad calibration or low grade equipment or it could have been the movie mix (this is very unlikely because a friend concurred with my feeling).

I was busy towards the end of year 2014 with installations which I had promised myself that I wanted to get my atmos demo room ready for everyone. 

But I only managed to get all things set up few days ago. Calibration should take another week to ensure I don't miss out any details and requirement. 

Here's a sneak peak for those who can't join us. 

It's a 160" Acoustic transparent screen by Screen Innovation (Lunar Maestro white 1.1 4K)

Projector is Sony VW500ES 4K projection. 

Preamp is Onkyo5530 (Atmos Capable) and Dual Starke Sound A7 multi channel class A Amp (450@4ohms). 

4 Atmos speakers by Starke Sound IWH1Elite x 4 units. 

All cables from Van Den Hul for the most reliability and quality. 

Fully balanced connections. 

First impression for a pre-calibration audition is already having a better effect than the local cinema Atmos experience. 

I will ensure in a week's time, everything will be well calibrated with even better sounding. Please drop by for an audition. Call 0178089020 to schedule for an appointment.

Onkyo SR 606 AV Receiver

For those looking for Onkyo AV Receiver, you can always drop by to compare the performance between Onkyo, Denon and Marantz. Hear it before getting your hands on one of the AVR.

Onkyo is famous with heating issue. No doubt on Onkyo SR 606 but as long as you use it in air conditioned room, you should be safe. And if possible, get a Voltage regulator to regulate the input power for the AVR. Most Onkyo users recommend the use of computer fans to further cool down the temperature.

Sound test out from the box feels a little bit on the Flat side when compared to Denon and Marantz. Surround sound is not as distinctive as Denon and Marantz although it gives a bit more detail which is hardly audible if not paying attention to. One good thing about SR606 is the price vs features. You pay less but you get more on features and power if compared to Denon and Marantz. However, you have to really take good care of the temperature in extended usage. Hopefully you won't forget to switch it off :P

Another feature on the SR606 when compared to the same level Denon AVR-1909 and Marantz SR-5003 is the ability to preset the audio EQ for individual speaker channels. For folks who wish to do some tunning on the EQ especially on those users who have different brands of speaker. It allows you to tune the EQ for every channels to get the best audio uniformality. However, this feature is good for more adventurous users who know what they are doing or else you will probably just mess things up.

Why look at the specification? Drop by an audition.

Interconnect and Speaker Cables

Ever wonder why you always get the FREE composite (yellow rca cable) cable from DVD or TV manufacturer rather than good quality cable or interconnect cable? The reason is a good quality cable can cost more than your RM200 - 300 DVD Player.

I always get the same question from most customers... Does the cable really make a big difference? I will always respond with the same answer... " If you have a Ferrari, and I ask you to drive in Kuching, will you be able to fully test out the performance?". Of course NOT because there's a bottle neck in our road. Same as for audio/video cable. The bottle neck in the cable restrict the passing through of audio/video signal due to foreign particles in the copper or silver.

It is simply that video signal will not be able to run through a poorly constructed FOC video or audio cables that you get in the box of dvd or TV. With good quality and branded speaker cables and interconnect cables, you can rest assure that 100% of the audio or video signal from your "source" will never be lost.

When I talk about buying cable, I use the word "INVEST" ..meaning to invest in good cable. Good cable is 99.999% oxygen free, you get 99.99% pure copper or pure silver which will last you for years to come. Unlike cheap cable that has a mix of other metal from somewhere else. After several months or even weeks of usage, your sound or video signal gets degraded and you are wondering why your Full HD LCD or Plasma is not getting the best performance from bluray dvd.

Prices of cables usually goes up rather than drop because of the price in the copper and silver. There are so many types and brands of cables, original branded and clone branded. So be aware of what and where you are buying your products. Come to the right place to get your audio video cables. Don't think if you are buying the cable from the supermarket or even xxxx center, you are getting quality cables. I've seen xxxx center selling nice looking cables that are china unbranded stuff. Why pay for that kind of price when you can get branded stuff from QED and Van Del Hul.

There are many types of cable and interconnects such as RCA, S-video, Component, HDMI 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3a, optical, etc. I will probably need to explain all of them in my next article. So stay tuned .....

Why Sound Fusion?

Buying a set of new home theater system is a big decision, and with so many options and brand names available, how do you decide which one is right for you?










At Sound Fusion Sdn. Bhd., we can provide the information you need in finding the most suitable home theater set according to your budget.










An expensive home theater does not always out perform a cheaper one. The formula is how to match the speakers with the amplifier or receiver.










I have seen and known too many people who have spent their hard earned cash into consumer brand, didn't realize they are just wasting their money in buying those all-in-one system. I will go into more details on why those systems are totally a waste of cash and investment.










Problem with most consumer brands all-in-one system is over heating problem with the amplifier and the build in dvd player. Most of them are having heat issue where user cannot use it for extended period of more than 3 -4 hours. You will notice image degration and sound distortion after 3 -4 hours. Some dvd will start to skip chapters or experiencing occassional pauses throughout the tracks. Continue to operate will cause serious damage to the system.

That is why audio specialist chooses standalone av receiver/amplifier/dvd for durability. You pay a little more BUT you use it longer (more than 10 years on most cases).

This blogspot brings your awareness on why you should save enough for your next system rather than throwing your money into the drain when the all-in-one system goes into waste after couple of years.

Do the math !
