XGIMI Aura 2: UST Projector Specs & Ascend Concept
XGIMI’s Aura 2 continued the company’s push into the premium ultra-short-throw (UST) segment first opened up by its original Aura model, launching alongside a concept all-in-one home theater package at CES 2025.
Key Specifications

- Category: Ultra-short-throw (UST) laser projector
The Ascend Concept Pairing
At CES 2025, XGIMI showed the Aura 2 alongside a concept product called Ascend — a motorized ambient-light-rejecting (ALR) screen combined with dual Harman Kardon soundbars in a single retractable unit. Together, they were positioned as an all-in-one home theater package designed to eliminate the usual multi-vendor shopping process of buying a UST projector, a matching ALR screen, and separate audio hardware.
Why 99% DCI-P3 Matters
DCI-P3 is the color gamut standard used in digital cinema. Covering 99% of it means the Aura 2 can reproduce nearly the full range of colors filmmakers intended when mastering content for theatrical or premium streaming release — a meaningful step up from projectors that only cover the older, narrower Rec. 709 standard.
Who Should Buy It
Buyers who want UST convenience with genuinely accurate color reproduction, and who are interested in XGIMI’s broader all-in-one home theater ecosystem, should consider the Aura 2 — particularly if the Ascend screen-and-soundbar concept reaches full production.
