Visit the Harman High Performance A/V Mobile Showcase This Weekend (3/19-3/20) in NYC
For music pros who want to treat themselves to listening to music in a great home environment – and take a break from making it – a visit to the Harman Mobile Showcase (HMS) may be in order.
The HMS is a 7,500 square-foot truck that houses a fully functioning surround sound home theater and an audiophile demo room, and has returned to the Architectural Digest Home Design Show this year. The show takes place March 17 – 20, 2011 in New York and will be open to the public, taking place at Pier 94, 55th Street at the West Side Highway.
The HMS gives attendees a chance to experience a wide range of Harman High Performance A/V home entertainment components from JBL Synthesis, Revel, Mark Levinson and Lexicon in an at-home setting. In creating the Mobile Showcase, HARMAN worked closely with custom installation firms and collaborated with architects and interior designers to create demonstration rooms that combine exceptional audio and video performance with elegant décor.
The audiophile room will feature a 2-channel audio setup with Mark Levinson components including the No512 CD/SACD player, No326S preamplifier and No53 monaural power amplifiers driving Revel Ultima2 floorstanding loudspeakers.
The home theater room consists of a complete JBL Synthesis multichannel audio system including K2S9900 main-channel loudspeakers, an SK2-3300 center channel loudspeaker, S4Ai surround loudspeakers and S2S subwoofers, SDP40HD surround processor/system controller, S820 amplifiers and additional JBL Synthesis components. A Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray player rounds out the system, which also includes a high-end video projector and screen.
