Yaber introduced the K3 series of home cinema projectors at IFA and they are the brightest projectors the company has ever made. They build on last year's successful K2s model.
The Yaber K3 is an LED projector that can deliver up to 1,600 ANSI lumens. It projects a 1080p image that ranges in size from 40 to 200 inches (the projector has a throw ratio of 1.2:1).
The new NovaGlow optical technology promises a sharp and vibrant image. With the extra brightness comes extra heat, so Yaber created the CoolSwift cooler to manage that heat. It’s a combination of a U-shaped heat sink and two thermoelectric coolers. Yaber will announce more details about NovaGlow and CoolSwift soon.
The projector is packed with smart features that automatically create the best image in any room: autofocus, auto keystone correction, smart screen alignment and obstacle avoidance.
The K3 runs Android with Google TV, giving you access to over 7,000 apps, including streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and more. Plus, it features NFC, so you can simply tap your phone to the projector and start streaming local content. Wi-Fi 6 (ax) and Bluetooth 5.0 are available for local connections. Voice commands are available, if you don’t feel like reaching for the remote.
The Yaber K3 is equipped with two 15W (800cc) JBL speakers and Dolby Atmos. In addition to the standard model, there is a Yaber K3 Pro, which includes a woofer for extra bass. That's about the only difference between the two (well, not quite).
The Yaber K3 will be sold exclusively online, the K3 Pro will be sold exclusively in physical stores, so that's another difference. The K3 is priced at €600 or, if you want a woofer, the K3 Pro is €650.
Additionally, the company unveiled the cheaper and more compact Yaber L2s. It still projects a 1080p image, but at a lower brightness of 700 lumens. Among the more advanced features, autofocus is supported. This projector is equipped with two 8W JBL speakers and operates quietly (35 dB). The Yaber L2s is priced at just €240.
