STUNNING SOUND SOLUTIONS As exclusive distributor within the UK and Eire, DbM offers dealers access to powerful audio solutions from Waterfall Audio that deliver exceptionally pure and natural sound, with stunning aesthetic attributes capable of blending into any interior.

The range includes three stunning compact on-wall speakers, along with a shallow mounting depth (73mm) in-wall/in-ceiling option for home cinema systems. The range starts with the compact Serio, moves up to the everpopular Hurricane Evo and is completed by the awesome Elora Evo.

Bragi Cinemascope has a motorised DCI/ P3 filter for HDR performance, meaning that the projector will support both SDR and HDR viewing, as well as Barco’s unique RealColor processing for simple and accurate calibration. In order to really enjoy HDR, it is this support for the expanded colour palette that many people miss out on; HDR supports the DCI/P3 colour space, which means a far more vivid, life-like and visually stunning colour reproduction that is unmatched in this category.
