Atlantic Technology Demonstrates Ultimate Gaming Theater
LAS VEGAS -- Atlantic Technology, America's oldest manufacturer of dedicated home theater loudspeaker systems, has teamed up with The Cinema Design Group, a respected systems integrator based in Garland, Texas, to demonstrate the remarkable potential of a high end gaming theater at the Consumer Electronics Show opening here today.
"Just as multichannel home theater systems changed the way we enjoy movies at home, they can also dramatically improve the video game experience," said Atlantic Technology CEO, Peter Tribeman. "Modern video games are routinely encoded with multichannel audio soundtracks that put the player in the middle of the action and provide audible cues to improve game play."
Throughout the show, dealers, reps, journalists, and other attendees will be able to test their virtual courage and computer street racing skills in four-player competitions using the game Need for Speed Underground 2 by Electronic Arts. Each day's top scorer will win a pair of Atlantic's new outdoor speaker, and all contestants will be entered in a raffle to win a 5.1-channel Atlantic Technology speaker system and X-Box gaming system.
The Cinema Design Group has created a living-room-in-a-booth environment to show dealers the potential of gaming theaters, or combining home theater and gaming. It was designed around Atlantic Technology’s newly introduced THX Select certified System 4200e speaker system, with the company’s P2000 AV Controller and A2000 7-channel power amplifier handing amplification and processing. A Vidikron video projector, Microsoft X-Box gaming system, and four custom-designed CDG Type C gaming chairs round out the system.
From its inception in 1989, Atlantic Technology's mission has been to produce home entertainment products that exemplify the very best in both performance and value. The company specializes in complete high-performance multi-channel speaker systems, state-of-the-art home theater electronics components, and products for custom audio/video installation.
