CES 2010
I had a great time listening to my own recordings in the Halcro room. Though the room lighting and the alien looking Vivid Audio G2 Giya speaker gave foreboding vibe in
this photo, the sound was warm and detailed and the Halcro folks were really friendly. Featured in the Halcro system were the dm10 preamplifier($20,990) and the dm78
power amplifier ($41,990). The dm 10 is Halcro's top-of the line preamp and features its own phono stage. (It was reviewed in the April 2004 issue.) The dm78 is a stereo
amp that puts out 225W into 8 ohms and handled big dynamic swings in recordings of both Vivaldi and Eric Whitacre with ease and grace. By Erick Lichte
VIVID AUDIO
Vivid Audio chose the worlds finest amplification HALCRO dm 10 and dm 88, to showcase their latest
loudspeaker system the GIYA at their demonstrations in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
CEDIA 2007
Halcro showed the newly released Halcro Logic EC800 disc player at Cedia 2007 in Denver Colorado. For those of you who missed the CEDIA Show, the new SSP200 with MPCM was a huge hit. We literally did hundreds of demonstrations over the course of the four-day show. In spite of the less than perfect acoustics and the show floor noise, everyone thought that the lossless, uncompressed audio tracks were nothing short of amazing. In fact, we had to turn down the volume 5dB when switching from standard 5.1 formats to uncompressed audio because of the difference in dynamic content. Particularly noticeable were the upper mid-frequencies, which really improved voice intelligibility. Also, the six individual uncompressed channels made the surrounds and rear channels much more pronounced. Basically, you're getting 90% more information, which is hard to believe until you actually hear the demo.
The new EC800 disc player was also well received. Experienced dealers agreed it was certainly the best sounding player to hit the market at any price. Rounding out the Logic range, the EC800 is a compelling purchase with its superior build quality and Halcro's super definition analogue audio circuitry.

LAS VEGAS CES 2005
Halcro exhibited in two locations at the the Las Vegas CES in January 2005.
Alexis Park was used to showcase a live demonstration of the dm38 stereo amplifier and dm10 preamplifier combined with Wilson Watt Puppy 7's. Although the Alexis Park rooms have poor acoustics, the sound was impressively open and musical.
The complete Halcro range was on static display at Alexis Park in the adjacent room. The Halcro Logic range of home theater products created enormous interest from International press, distributors and dealers. The superior functionality of the SSP100 & SSP80 surround sound processors became one of the CES must see products. A private listening session was held at Alexis Park to demonstrate the MC20 performance. The MC20 proved to be outstanding to all in attendance, so stay tuned for its release in April 2005!
The Las Vegas Convention Center was the venue for the famous DTS demonstration. 16 channels of Halcro dm68's, dm58's & dm38's were used to power the JBL K2's and two JBL Pro Subs in the 30 seat home theater room which is renowned as the worlds finest surround sound demonstration. DTS premiered the Halcro SSP80 surround sound processor and found it to have superior playback qualities compared to all previously used processors/preamplifiers.
