LG HDTV with theater sound

By Philip Wong, CNET Asia


"Golden ear" Mark Levinson is LG's new chief audio advisor.
SINGAPORE--LG is showing off its fruits of collaboration with audio guru Mark Levinson at a press event today. The lineup of "sonically tuned" product is diverse, ranging from its stylish home-theater-in-a-box kits and a DVD micro component system to sleek LCD and plasma flat-panel HDTVs. In conjunction with the showcase, LG is officially launching its Golden Ear campaign which marks the partnership in the company's product development and the unique LG80 home-theater TVs.

For music lovers, Mark Levinson is a renowned American audiophile who established one of the most respected premium hi-fi brands in the industry. Founded in 1972, Mark Levinson Audio System is instrumental in the hi-fi scene with classics like the Mark Levinson JC-1 preamplifier. The "golden ear" guru has subsequently entered other ventures leading up to Red Rose Music that specializes in high-end stereos, as well as his latest role as chief audio advisor for LG Electronics.













The most notable Mark Levinson's tweak to date is the invisible speakers featured in most, if not all, LG HDTVs. This supposedly delivers the best of both worlds: Unobtrusive speaker array and enhanced sound quality. In a nutshell, the system avoids speaker clutter by utilizing the entire TV cabinet as a vibration medium to produce front-projecting and clearer vocal as well as treble. Non-directional bass, on the other hand, is covered by two down-firing woofers well-concealed below the chassis.
