Harman Kardon Projector: Why XGIMI Choose It for Audio?

By XGIMI Tech - 2025-05

In order to have better sound quality in home entertainment with projectors, XGIMI and Harman Kardon have established a close partnership since 2015. As the only partner of Harman Kardon in the projection industry, XGIMI has successively launched a variety of home projectors equipped with Harman Kardon original audio, such as the familiar HORIZON series and the XGIMI laser projectors AURA series.

But good sound quality is far from purchasing the Harman Kardon speakers, and then simply installing them on the XGIMI projectors. Today we will talk about the things you should know about the Harman Kardon projector.

Four Reasons Why XGIMI Choose to Produce Harman Kardon Projector

As a brand focused on the home entertainment market, XGIMI understands that sound quality is a key part of the overall user experience. To take our audio-visual performance to the next level, we partnered with world-renowned audio brand Harman Kardon.

By working with true audio experts, we're committed to delivering an even more immersive and professional home theater experience with every XGIMI product. Here we have the XGIMI Harman/Kardon projector.

1. Trusted Brand with a Strong Track Record of Professional Partnerships

Founded in 1953, Harman Kardon has been deeply engaged in the field of acoustics for more than half a century. Its products are widely involved in various fields such as stage audio, car audio, home audio, portable audio, etc., and it has an extremely deep understanding of the sound quality needs in different fields.

Harman Kardon not only provides excellent audio for luxury car brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Land Rover but also supports many international first-class performance venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Royal Shakespeare Theater, China National Grand Theater, and Bird's Nest.

2. Exceptional Sound Quality That Solves Common Audio Challenges in Projectors

It is not difficult to make an inbuilt speaker in home movie projectors, but it is not an easy task to make them sound good. Lots of projectors have limited sound cavity space due to their compact design, which makes their acoustics have a certain gap with the ideal state. This especially affects the performance of low-frequency (Bass) effects.

In the early stage of cooperation with Harman, in order to realize a better bass effect in the small body of the XGIMI portable model, Harman engineers designed a special passive radiator box structure for it. Although the sound quality performance has been improved by leaps and bounds, it was not expected that it would make the projector body shake. The engineers of XGIMI and Harman Kardon spent several months redesigning the industrial structure of the product to solve the problem.

For the pursuit of a high-quality audio-visual experience for the user, especially for those who love pop music, and rock music music enthusiasts, Harmon Kardon projectors provide an ideal bass effect.

3. Overall Sound Optimization for XGIMI Movie Projectors

The reason why home 4K projectors can get a share of the TV market is largely due to their unique viewing immersion, which is definitely not only visual but also hearing. 

XGIMI Harman Kardon projector greatly enhances the overall sound quality. The two jointly customized subwoofers can retain the authentic acoustic effect and significantly enhance the bass effect at the same time.

4. Cost-effective Solutions to Get a High-Quality Speaker

Professional audio equipment usually costs a high price. Achieving the ideal state 7.1.2 or 5.1.2 channel sound system in the home theater setup is not easy, which is affected by lots of factors. So for the non-professional, the high cost of building a home theater doesn't necessarily deliver the best results.

You can now have a Harman Kardon projector 4K with Dolby for only about $1,000 to $2,000. From the perspective of cost and cost-effectiveness, the cooperation between XGIMI and Harman Kardon also brings great benefits to users.

FAQ: What is the Harman Audio's R-ring Design in XGIMI Projectors?

In the audio configuration of the XGIMI Harman Kardon video projector, some products adopt Harman Kardon's patented R-ring design (e.g. HORIZON S series), which is unique in the smart projection industry. And it adds a lot of points to the sound effect and texture of XGIMI products.

Harman Kardon's R-ring design effectively improves the vibration characteristics of the diaphragm by adopting a special ring structure around the edge of the diaphragm, which enables the diaphragm to vibrate more uniformly and steadily. It reduces the generation of split vibrations, thus enhancing the clarity and fidelity of the sound.

When playing music or movies with vocals, musical instruments, and other mid- to high-frequency sounds, the R-ring design can make the sound more pure and detailed, and restore a more realistic sound effect.
