A new contender has arrived in the premium projector market, and early reactions from dealers and custom installers suggest it’s poised for strong success.

Reviewers who have tested the new Valerion projectors are already praising its high-end performance and unexpectedly accessible price point.

Distributed locally by Audio Active, this new projector range is expected to shake up the Australian market, challenging several established brands.

Designed to deliver cinema-grade 4K, HDR and genuinely “Hollywood-level” visuals, it brings professional projection quality into the home-theatre space.

At the heart of the system is a laser-powered RGB triple-laser DLP light engine, a significant step up from traditional lamp-based or single-laser projectors.

The technology provides higher brightness, an expanded colour gamut, a long light-engine life of over 25,000 hours, and far more stable colour and contrast performance over time.

The result is a cinema-first, quality-first solution built for dedicated home theatre rooms or anyone seeking that authentic “movie-theatre on the wall” experience.

Dealers have been especially impressed by the projector’s deep blacks, rich contrast and vibrant colour reproduction—qualities that General Manager of Audio Active, Bruce Thiebach, says are driving record order volumes. The triple-laser engine, combined with proprietary contrast and black-level processing (including EBL “Enhanced Black Level” technology), enables exceptional performance in dark scenes, a crucial element of true cinematic projection.

The lineup includes two models:

VisionMaster Max

VisionMaster Pro 2

The VisionMaster series has already earned significant international recognition, with Editor’s Choice awards from ZDNET, SoundGuys and Pocket-Lint, as well as Best Premium Projector from The UK Independent. It has also received a prestigious Red Dot Design Award.

Positioned near the top tier of home-cinema projection—particularly for its price—the Valerion range is tailored for customers seeking genuine cinematic fidelity rather than simply a large TV-replacement display. Unlike mass-market models trying to appeal to everyone, Valerion has focused on a niche: high-quality, laser-powered home-theatre projection with modern smart features.

Who Is It For?

Dealers believe the primary market includes:

Movie enthusiasts and home-theatre builders seeking near-professional cinema quality.

Users with dedicated dark rooms who want to fully appreciate the projector’s contrast, HDR performance, and wide colour gamut.

Gamers wanting a huge, premium 4K HDR display with low input lag in supported modes.

Tech-savvy buyers who value advanced installation tools such as lens shift, zoom flexibility and automated geometric calibration.
