We are very pleased to announce 
exclusive distribution of 'Audio Excellence'

Headed by Patrice Congard, Audio Excellence shares the same home as Screen Excellence in Rendlesham, Suffolk. Like the screens, their speaker system is UK manufactured.

What's different about
Audio Excellence?
Patrice has not only designed a system consisting of a speaker range with matching amplifiers and DSP, but also aims to promote the ‘Congard Code’ which is a methodology for configuring a surround sound system. The Congard Code seeks to challenge, and improve upon common misconceptions that our industry applies when designing and then calibrating a system.
 
Bass Management and Routing
The main difference in the way that the system is configured is centered around the routing of the bass signals. For example, in most home cinema configurations, bass frequencies that the satellite speakers cannot deliver are channeled through to the LFE subwoofer. Congard argues that this is bad practice and the LFE channel should be solely for, well LFE!
 
So instead, an Audio Excellence DSP is used to provide Bass Extension (everything under 100Hz) from left, center and right speakers to their very own dedicated subwoofer. This BE subwoofer sits between and below the center channel and either left or right speakers. The LFE Subwoofers (ideally 2) typically sit in the front left and right corners.

The Product Range

The products themselves include three new loudspeakers for on or in-wall installation, Vertex 1, 2 and 3 for small to large rooms. Two models of subwoofers to use for either LFE or the Bass Extension channel, these are Raijuu 1 and 2. There are three amplifiers, the Quattro 02, 06 and the DSP 06. Lastly the standalone DSP units, Control 48, 46 and 26.


Designed and 100% UK manufactured, Audio Excellence systems come with a 5 year warranty.

Vertex High SPL, Limited Range Speakers
 
 

A Vertex is a point of convergence. Its gives its name to the Vertex loudspeaker range that are the convergence of state-of-the-art technology, innovation and aesthetic design.

The Vertex loudspeakers are limited-range designs operating from 100 Hz to 22kHz. They are to be coupled to a bass extension unit, like the Raijuu 1, via an active DSP crossover.
 

Raijuu Subwoofers for Bass Extension & LFE Signals
 
 

Raijuu in the Japanese mythology is the spirit of thunder. This is a symbolic characteristic of the Raijuu range of subwoofers, which are loud, fast and powerful.

The Raijuu loudspeakers are subwoofers operating from 20 Hz to 100 Hz. They are to be coupled to limited-range loudspeakers via an active DSP crossover.

Digital Signal Processors and Power Amplifiers
 

DSP
AV systems are designed around multiples of 4 channels: 3 front channels + 1 LFE; 2 surround channels and 2 ceiling channels; 4 surround channels; 4 ceiling channels.
The 4 input x 8 output DP48 MKII DSP digital active crossover is the most universal and versatile format. Any of the 4 input signals can be routed to any of the 8 outputs. These signals can also be summed on any single output.

Power
Audio Excellence power amplifiers ensure that the loudspeakers are fed with ample headroom reserves and any chance of clipping is avoided. Delivering high voltages and current ensures a powerful, accurate and dynamic sound from Vertex and Raijuu.
