GoKawiilXgimi Debuts Aura 3 Max and Pro UST Projectors With Dual Iris System at IFA
Xgimi introduced two new ultrashort-throw projectors, the Aura 3 Max and Aura 3 Pro, at IFA Berlin, positioned above the existing Aura 2 line. The Max reaches 5,700 lumens and the Pro 4,100 lumens, both featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, Harman Kardon-tuned 80-watt audio, and what Xgimi calls the industry's first dual iris system for finer light control. Preorders are open via Kickstarter at $2,399 for the Max and $2,199 for the Pro, with a $50 deposit securing a $200 discount.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The launch shows UST projector makers racing to boost brightness and contrast control while keeping premium home-theater aesthetics, as competitors like AWOL and JMGO push similar specs. Using Kickstarter for preorders from an established company signals a shift in how hardware makers test demand and fund production before formal retail pricing is set, though actual MSRP will likely be higher.
- Aura 3 Max hits 5,700 lumens, Aura 3 Pro 4,100 lumens, both with 120Hz refresh rates.
- A dual iris system aims to improve dynamic contrast, borrowing the light engine from Xgimi's Titan Noir.
- Preorder pricing starts at $2,199 for the Pro and $2,399 for the Max via Kickstarter, above the Aura 2's cost.
XGIMI Aura 2 Ultra Short Throw Projector — While the Aura 3 Max and Pro roll out, the Aura 2 is the readily available XGIMI UST that established the line's wood-accented design and Harman Kardon audio tuning. It throws a big picture from just inches off the wall, making it a true living-room home cinema hub without ceiling mounts or long cable runs.
