beam 2

Hello,

 

I need Atmos theatre sound for a portable projector - it has e-arc I believe 

 

I have  a play base which works but isn't used much any more -  not sure if that has e -arc or if there is a work around 

 

any advice how to bring the  play base into use ? Also  how to  “add”  to it ?  Or do I buy a beam 2? 

 

 

I  dont want to buy an arc ultra as  this all has to be positioned within feet /  meters of the projector (cable length ) and put away  after the holidays until next year ? 

 

Any advice please ?

The PLAYBASE is optical only, and can not handle Atmos, which is too dense to be carried across optical. 

The Beam can process Atmos, and is ARC/eARC based. But while it can interpret Atmos, it doesn’t have upward firing speakers for Atmos, as the Arc and Arc Ultra do. 

Not sure why Atmos is even a ‘thing’ for portable, temporary projector.
