LEXICON GAINS IMAX ENHANCED ACCREDITATION WITH LATEST HOME CINEMA MODELS
Lexicon, the Northridge-based maker, has partnered with the IMAX Enhanced programme resulting in the MC-10 processor, and RV-9 and RV-6 receivers.
The IMAX Enhanced programme is a new certification and licensing program combining the highest-end consumer electronics products with IMAX digitally re-mastered 4K HDR content and DTS audio technologies to offer you a new level of quality in immersive sight and sound experiences for the home.
As one of the program’s initial licensees, Lexicon will offer a line of IMAX Enhanced Lexicon AV receivers, enabling you to experience the IMAX signature sound mix, delivered by DTS, and all with the power and grace of Lexicon’s remarkable line of AV engines.
To become IMAX Enhanced-certified, consumer electronics manufacturers must meet stringent performance standards, set by a certification committee comprised of IMAX and DTS engineers and Hollywood’s leading technical specialists. Those settling down to a home movie with audio powered by an IMAX Enhanced Lexicon AV receiver can expect a heart-pounding immersive sonic experience.
The debut line of IMAX Enhanced models from Lexicon comprises the MC-10 processor, and RV-9 and RV-6 receivers - all now available in the UK.
Lexicon’s IMAX Enhanced AV receivers feature DTS:X immersive audio decoding that is optimised to accurately reproduce the full dynamic range of IMAX theatrical sound mixes available in IMAX Enhanced content. With precise adjustments modelled on the IMAX theatre sound system, this proprietary IMAX audio mix is translated for home theatre environments and exclusively delivered using a particular variant of the DTS:X codec technology to provide the IMAX signature sound experience in the home.
Additionally, IMAX is working with its global studio and content partners to make available a steady stream of IMAX Enhanced versions of blockbuster movies and additional programming.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
