All Four Models Are Designed for High Performance Private Cinemas and Feature Newly Developed AMTHorn Tweeters

The P Series models

GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, September 15, 2021— Enabling integrators to deliver a new level of private-cinema experience to their discerning clients, Starke Sound introduces the P Series of passive loudspeakers, designed to pair with its A and AD multichannel amplifiers. Four new P models will be launched in September and October; advanced coaxial models and passive subwoofers will follow in coming months.

The P Series models combine the high sensitivity and power handling of professional equipment with the smooth realism of home audio. They present a vast and articulate soundfield with massive energy and extreme dynamics. Their unique, horn-loaded Air Motion Transformer (AMTHorn®) tweeters enable P Series loudspeakers to produce the high sound-pressure levels required for realistic cinema at home.

This breakthrough treble technology resulted from a two-year development and manufacturing effort that continued through the pandemic. The tweeters are integrated with custom dynamic drivers in industrial enclosures for placement behind screens or built into walls and ceilings for invisible, immersive reproduction at all seats. Frequency response extends from 40Hz to beyond 40kHz. The P Series is designed for cinemas of 500 to 5000 square feet.

The performance of these first P Series models advances the state of the art of multi-channel sound reproduction in the home:
