XGIMI has introduced its latest high-end projector, the AURA 2. This 4K ultra short throw (UST) projector boasts state-of-the-art technology and a sleek design, promising to transform your home entertainment experience.
The AURA 2 showcases XGIMI’s expertise in light technology and design. It features the company’s updated Dual Light 2.0 technology, combining a “Wide Spectrum + Narrow Spectrum” hybrid light source. This innovation achieves an impressive brightness of 2300 ISO Lumens and 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Each scene is displayed with vivid colors and remarkable detail, transforming your living room into a cinematic haven.
A standout feature of the AURA 2 is its ultra-short throw ratio of 0.177:1. This allows it to project a massive 100-inch screen from just 17.82 cm away, setting a new industry benchmark. The projector’s UST ratio and its 44% size reduction compared to its predecessor make it suitable for almost any space. The elegant and timeless design ensures the AURA 2 seamlessly integrates into your living room decor.
Cinema enthusiasts will be particularly impressed by the AURA 2’s capabilities. With 4K resolution, Dolby Vision and HDR10 certifications, this projector delivers an immersive viewing experience that rivals traditional theaters. The 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio ensures deep blacks and bright whites, enhancing the depth and detail of every frame. Additionally, IMAX Enhanced certification allows users to enjoy IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio, stunning visuals, and exclusive DTS audio format at home.
The AURA 2 features powerful 60W built-in Harman/Kardon speakers for rich, room-filling sound that complements the visuals. The Dolby Atmos support provides immersive, three-dimensional sound that brings every scene to life. With Android TV 11 integrated, users have easy access to popular streaming apps, making it effortless to find and enjoy their favorite content. Apps like “XGIMI Wall” transform your wall into a stunning art gallery or atmospheric background.
Like all XGIMI devices, the AURA 2 offers effortless setup and user-friendly operation. The latest version of XGIMI’s Intelligent Screen Adaption (ISA 5.0) intuitively adjusts the picture to its environment, ensuring an optimal viewing experience. Some intelligent features include auto focus, auto keystone correction, wall color and flatness adaptation, screen alignment, and a smart eco mode with dynamic sensing that dims the lens at inactivity.
The AURA 2 boasts various connectivity options, including WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Chromecast, three HDMI ports (with 1 supporting eARC), multiple USB ports, LAN, and audio input. This premium projector caters to all your entertainment needs and has been recognized by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) as the ‘Best Product 2024-2025’ in the UST Projector category.
Designed with a premium lifestyle in mind, the AURA 2 comes with an automatic lens cover that protects the lens from dust and scratches. XGIMI has also developed a 100-inch Fresnel ALR screen with 80% ambient light resistance and 1.4x brightness gain, specifically tailored for UST projectors, to further enhance the viewing experience.
