Crestron Readies High-End 7.3 Procise Processor with 400 Watts Per Channel
Crestron CEO George Feldstein on new PSPHD with Audyssey: 'It has the absolutely latest killer surround sound processor and equalization'
Crestron is coming out with a super high-end surround sound system under the new Procise brand.
During an unprecedented look behind the scenes at Crestron's 100,000 square-foot R&D Center (Building 22) in Rockleigh, N.J., CEO and founder George Feldstein provided a glimpse of the new Procise PSPHD 7.3 surround sound system with video processor.
"It has the absolutely latest killer surround sound processor and equalization," Feldstein says.
You can use the product in 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 mode and the system alters its bass accordingly.
The PSPHD features an amp rated at 400-watts-per-channel and two giant transformers so big that I couldn't begin to lift them.
"The amp uses totally new technology we licensed from the inventor," Feldstein systems. "It's analog quality with a digital amp. I've always been against digital amplifiers but I've been trying to make it fail and I can't."
In a demo of the unit, a Crestron engineer played "Hotel California" through $50 RadioShack speakers and I was in heaven. Blasting the sound through "real" speakers, though, made the guitars come to life.
Stay tuned for more juicy news from inside Building 22.

I had to pull teeth just to get this much, but I’m checking!
Sorry, ShowMe. They really have no idea what it will sell for, and they’re not even sure it will be shown at CEDIA. So you’re getting the real scoop here.
Stay tuned for Monday when we reveal pricing, specs and future plans for Prodigy…
Thanks Julie!
Dribble. can I have one now please… um can you make that two please
Is this going to be more snake oil high end or dos it do something different?
Found a price of $ 9000 on the internet.
