Yaber, a prominent name in the home entertainment projector market, has launched its latest flagship projector series, the K3 and K3 Pro, at the IFA Berlin 2024. Building on the foundation laid by the well-received K2 series, the new models are positioned as all-in-one home theatre solutions, featuring notable advancements in image quality, audio performance, and user-friendly features.
The Yaber K3 series is engineered to deliver an elevated viewing experience with 1080p Full HD resolution and 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness. This level of brightness allows the projectors to perform well even in well-lit rooms, making them versatile options for various home settings.
The NovaGlow optical technology, exclusive to Yaber, is integrated into both models to enhance image clarity and vibrancy, providing a sharp, true-to-life display that ranges from 40 to 200 inches.
Sound is a major highlight of the K3 series, thanks to the collaboration with JBL. Both models feature dual 15W JBL stereo speakers, a significant upgrade over standard projector audio systems.
The K3 Pro model further enhances the auditory experience with the inclusion of a subwoofer, aimed at providing deeper bass and a richer sound profile, making it a suitable choice for users seeking a more immersive home cinema experience. This audio setup also supports Dolby Audio, which adds to the theatre-like sound quality.
Yaber's efforts to provide reliable performance are evident with the introduction of CoolSwift cooling technology in the K3 series. This system, which includes a U-shaped heatsink and dual thermoelectric coolers, is designed to manage heat efficiently, allowing for stable, extended use without the noise distractions often associated with projectors. This cooling solution is crucial for maintaining consistent image quality and ensuring the longevity of the device.
The K3 series also boasts several intelligent features aimed at simplifying setup and improving user convenience. Both projectors come equipped with Auto Focus, Auto Keystone Correction, and Intelligent Screen Alignment, which together help in quickly achieving a correctly aligned and focused image, even in challenging environments. Additionally, Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance adjusts the projection automatically to avoid obstructions, ensuring an optimal viewing experience.
The Yaber K3 series is designed with modern users in mind, offering a range of connectivity and convenience features. A built-in TV dongle provides access to over 7,000 apps, including popular streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube, through Google TV. This eliminates the need for external streaming devices and enhances the all-in-one appeal of the projectors.
The projectors also support NFC Tap, enabling quick content transfer from compatible Apple and Android smartphones. Voice control capabilities allow users to operate the projector hands-free, adding an extra layer of convenience. With Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 included, the projectors are well-equipped for seamless connectivity in a modern smart home setup.
Beyond performance and features, the Yaber K3 series is thoughtfully designed to cater to everyday comfort and practicality. Both models are compact and lightweight, weighing just 5.1 kg, making them easy to move and set up in different locations within the home. The inclusion of a blue light-filtering coating on the lens reduces eye strain during prolonged viewing sessions, while the all-glass lens construction minimizes focus drift, ensuring that the image quality remains consistent over time.
The Yaber K3 and K3 Pro projectors are priced competitively within the home entertainment market. The K3 model is available for $499 in the USA and €599 in Europe, while the K3 Pro, which includes the additional subwoofer, is priced at $599 in the USA and €649 in Europe. Both models are available for purchase on Yaber’s official website, with the K3 also being offered as an online exclusive, whereas the K3 Pro will be available in select retail stores.
