Goldmund's Media Room: A Dream For Audiophiles

The experience watching Pearl Harbor in the Goldmund Media Room was enthralling. From the sounds of the torpedoes and gunfire to the Zeros flying overhead, the sound was crisp and clean while being distributed over this massive entertainment system. With all of the speakers, the surround sound experience was unbelievable. While I am no audiophile and will not be distributing any of the technical jargon, the audio-visual experience truly was phenomenal and was the same experience shared by the other media personnel at this event. While Goldmund's emphasis is clearly on the audio side, the video quality was splendid even with the projector at just 40% brightness. This was perfection.

Goldmund is so confident in their products that they have approached record producers and major game developers about listening to their audio inside the Luxury Media Room. On the topic of Goldmund customers, their client list is confidential but all that Michel Reverchon would say is that they are located around the world and that they have had hundreds of clients. Goldmund will go wherever needed in order to design and build one of these luxurious media rooms, but of course, it will cost you quite a bit of money. Goldmund has even constructed media rooms on two ships thus far and are currently in talks on bringing the media room to the sky inside a Boeing 737.

With customers spending a significant sum of money on their Goldmund media room, every three to four months a Goldmund personnel will go to your location and will do additional fine-tuning to ensure that the experience hasn't degraded. One of the benefits that were emphasized quite heavily was that Goldmund is the single point for their client's media needs. If anything goes wrong or are interested in any changes, Goldmund is the one and only company that needs to be contacted and will ensure everything gets resolved without having the mess of having to deal with multiple companies.

These media rooms take months to construct and start out with Goldmund modeling the room in AutoCAD and then using their proprietary software makes recommendations on the material and methods, mechanical and electrical layouts, and other drawings. After making any custom units for the project, the construction begins followed by the installation and calibration. On the matter of Linux usage, Michel Reverchon had stated that it's used on the lower-end for powering their multimedia systems.

Goldmund's CEO had stated that they have the technology to make the luxurious media rooms more cost effective, but he isn't interested and thus don't expect anything more affordable in the near future. However, if a $300,000 (USD) turntable or a $5,000,000 speaker (in development) fits into your media budget, Goldmund is certainly a brand worth pursuing. Not only was this the best audio I had ever heard, but it's very evident that Goldmund is committed to creating the best home theaters on earth and that they are leading the innovation in this ultra high-end market.
