The Smyth Research Realiser A16 SE (Speaker Edition) is a special version of the Realiser A16 for listening to Dolby Atmos and DTS: X movies, music, games or series on two Hi-Fi speakers, using patented AudioXD technology.
The advantage would be a Realiser A16 unit with two operating modes: headphones and speakers. In other words, a multi-virtual speaker configuration all around you with only two real speakers and also one or two headphones, for late listening.
The operation in headset mode is identical to the Realiser A16. In "Speaker" mode, the Realiser A16 SE must be connected to 2 active speakers (self-amplified) or to a stereo amplifier and 2 passive speakers. This connection to the amplifier goes through 2 RCA/CINCH or a variable level optical/coaxial output.

The operating principle of the Realiser A16 SE is not quite clear to me. AudioXD, the French company behind Realiser A16 Speaker Edition disclosed quite limited information on the involved technical solution. It has been suggested that it’s not transaural but rather neural rendering, whatever that means.
The upgrade to the speaker edition requires sending the Realiser A16 unit to AV-in in Paris. The French distributor organised demonstration sessions recently. Any listening impressions from French users at head-fi.org?
Later edit: I’ve found an English translated review for Realiser A16 SE that has references to Realiser A8 and A16.
