The System of your Dreams
In one word – Easy
Easy to operate, easy to integrate into any room, easy on the eyes, easy on the wallet. In the past, home theater systems have been complex, intimidating, bulky, too expensive and way too limiting. The Ensemble HD finally changes all that with a seamless design, simple operation and a more than manageable price tag. Ensemble HD makes home cinema simple and includes everything you need. Period. Just sit back and enjoy.
A hallmark of design
The system is designed and optimized to work together functionally and fit together aesthetically. A sleek, contemporary design unites the components and blends comfortably with almost any room or decor. Ensemble HD is never the center of attention, (not until it's on anyway).
Unrivaled Innovation
Among the system’s key innovations is its one-of-a-kind, integrated sound system. Developed in coordination with Atlantic Technology, a worldrenowned leader in multi-channel speaker systems, all front channel speakers are hidden within the system’s 100-inch, 16:9, motorized screen and the surround speakers are discreetly hidden in the projector’s integrated speaker cradle. This unprecedented innovation ensures the highest quality sound without the usual hassle and obtrusiveness of typical speaker systems.
Astounding Performance
Extraordinary Video Quality
The Ensemble HD delivers crystal-clear high-definition, widescreen video that puts you in the middle of the action. The projector features advanced Epson 3LCD technology for rich, vibrant colors and superb, fast motion images. State-of-the-art optics ensure bright, distortion-free images from corner to corner so none of the action gets missed. The system’s colossal, 100" screen, over four times the size of a 50" big-screen TV, truly brings your movies, TV and video games to life.
Phenomenal Audio Fidelity
The audio system, engineered by Atlantic Technology®, a world-renowned leader in multi-channel speaker systems, includes a state-of-the-art Dolby® 5.1 digital surround processor and over 350 watts RMS of heart-pounding system power. The Ensemble HD’s rich, full audio fills the room and offers clean, detailed, highly intelligible theater sound, at loudness levels sure to satisfy even the most demanding action-movie aficionado. The system’s custom designed subwoofer ensures you “feel” the sound as well as hear it. There has, quite simply, never before been a system that combines the Ensemble HD’s unprecedented accessibility with such extraordinary performance.
A Seamless Fit in Nearly Any Room
Easy operation for everyone
Epson’s engineers have designed the system to ensure ease of use for everyone in the home, regardless of age or audio/video experience. Our powerful AV controller, with true 1080p output and intuitive on-screen display, has all the inputs you need to connect your existing components, such as your cable receiver and video game systems. At last, you can rid yourself of multiple remotes. The pre-programmed, backlit, universal remote control is simple to use even in a dark room. With the push of a single button on your remote, your movies, television, sports and video games appear like never before.
Everything you need for trouble-free installation
Home cinema should be for everyone. Whether you’re installing the system in a large basement or a small living room, Ensemble HD comes with everything you need for trouble-free installation in virtually any room. A professional installer will have you going in as little as four hours. Versatile mounting options allow you to hang the screen from the ceiling or wall, and the Ensemble HD includes a proprietary “hidden track” wire management system that ensures a clean, finished look with no extensive rewiring or intrusive room modifications.
The battle for the living room is finally over
Just push a button on the remote and Ensemble HD’s screen disappears into the elegantly designed screen casing. When the Ensemble HD is not on display, it humbly disappears into its surroundings, taking a back seat to the place you call home. When the screen is up, use Ensemble HD’s sound system to listen to your favorite music.
The Building Blocks of the Ensemble HD
Home Cinema
The Ensemble HD is best defined not by the sum of its parts, but by the experience it delivers as a whole. That being said, the individual components are pretty amazing.
A projector that redefines visual impact
Get ready to ooh and aah. The projector in the Ensemble HD Home Cinema System is from Epson, the world leader and innovator in projecting high definition images.
Designed with a soft, pearl-white finish and engineered to deliver full 1080p resolution, the award-winning Epson® PowerLite® Home Cinema 1080* combines five revolutionary innovations in one remarkable performer. It begins with C2Fine™ 3LCD technology, the core of this powerful projector, designed to faithfully reproduce every color and scene.
Next, there’s a proprietary lamp that provides consistent light from corner to corner, using the least amount of power, while 1080Perfect™ video processing offers full HD 1080p performance with 24fps and HDMI 1.3 compatibility.
AbsoluteBlack™ technology delivers a 12,000:1 contrast ratio and ensures the richest, deepest blacks. And, the innovative OptiCinema™ lens delivers amazing detail and color for spectacular results. Together, these cutting-edge technologies, all within a single projector, present a total solution that exceeds all expectations.
Components that will make your system soar
An amazing image has to be accompanied by a colossal screen and big, dramatic sound, and the Ensemble HD Home Cinema System delivers.
The AV Controller
This system’s command center is a user friendly audio/video controller complete with built-in progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner. The elegant, black-graphite unit is equipped with dual HDMI inputs and 1080p up-conversion on all inputs; ideal for connecting your essential components including Blu-Ray or HD DVD players, High Definition game systems and cable or satellite receivers.
An Amazing Cinema Screen with an Innovative
Atlantic Technology Speaker System
To ensure a true big-screen viewing experience, the system’s motorized 100-inch, 16:9 electric screen, with built-in left, center and right speakers, mounts on either the ceiling or wall for maximum flexibility. The screen uses a high-quality, durable, Somfy tubular motor ensuring that it glides quietly from its soft white screen enclosure even after repeated use. The screen utilizes a 1.0 gain, high-quality screen fabric creating rich, vibrant, real colors and deep black levels.
World-Renowned Atlantic Technology Speaker Design
Engineered by Atlantic Technology, the Ensemble HD’s left, center and right channel speakers are unobtrusively integrated into the screen’s clean, contemporary, white housing. Utilizing precise 4 1/2" midrange drivers and 1" horn-loaded tweeters, the front stage speakers deliver highly articulate, intelligible speech and on-screen action effects. To achieve pristine, consistent sound fidelity in virtually any room, the Ensemble HD includes a proprietary, 4-position Location Equalization Control. This cutting-edge technology allows users to adjust the sound to fit their room and ensures that listeners perceive the dialog and action as coming from the screen- not above it!
A Cradle of Elegance and Sound
At last, the Ensemble HD has solved—once and for all—the dilemma of how to mount surround speakers in your theater room. Surround speakers are a critically important component in any life-like, convincing home theater. The surround speakers convey the three-dimensional, ambient information that makes a movie seem real: the sonar “bongs” reverberating through a submarine’s hull or the hustle-and-bustle of a crowded city street.
The system ingeniously mounts the surround speakers in the projector housing, firing outwards towards the sides of the room. Utilizing 4" full-range drivers, our speakers take advantage of sound reflections from the walls and ceiling to fill the room with rich, immersive, real sound that makes you feel like you’re part of the action.
Everything you need
A subwoofer with true cinematic impact
Convincing, low-frequency sound reproduction is essential to any quality home theater audio system, and this Atlantic Technology-designed subwoofer brings it to you. The Ensemble HD’s subwoofer includes 5.1 channels of amplification and over 350 Watts of total system power. The subwoofer has been painstakingly engineered with a ported design and a 10" polypropylene, long-throw woofer, producing solid, room-shaking bass down to the mid- 20Hz region. Warp engines and exploding Death Stars will sound and feel like they’re happening right in your room.
The location of the subwoofer in a room can greatly influence its performance. In order to produce the highest performance in virtually every room, the system includes proprietary “bass-smoothing” technology, creating smooth, equal bass throughout your room and ensuring the Ensemble HD subwoofer always sounds clean, powerful, and detailed.
Pre-Programmed Remote Control
The system includes a pre-programmed, universal remote control. This easy to use controller finally eliminates the need for multiple remotes to control your various AV components, including your VCR, high definition DVD player or cable/satellite box. Used to power some of the most complex, high-end systems in the world, the remote includes backlit hard buttons and an LCD screen for simple operation with the lights on or off.
All Cables, mounting, Wire management and Equipment Cabinet
The system includes everything you need to install and enjoy your home cinema including all necessary mounting brackets, cables and wire management tracks for seamless integration into your room. It even comes with an equipment cabinet that cleanly houses all system components with room to spare for your favorite add-ons.
