The SMYTH Realiser A16 SE (Speaker Edition) is a premium version of the SMYTH Realiser A16 for listening to movies, music, games or series with audio up to Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D on two Hi-Fi speakers, using patented Audio XD technology.

The SMYTH Realiser A16 SE allows you to take advantage of the auditory immersion provided by a multi-speaker configuration all around you, but with only 2 speakers or also one or two headphones, for late listening.

It is aimed at those equipped with a good Hi-Fi installation and who wish to enjoy a superior multi-channel experience with their equipment, without changing or adding multiple speakers.
