While it may not become a massive hit like the XGIMI TITAN Noir Series, the Audiray X5 Smart Theater is steadily gaining attention on Kickstarter. It is best suited for people who want an all-in-one entertainment setup instead of buying separate speakers, a projector, a streaming device, and a karaoke system. The Audiray X5 combines a 4K projector, detachable stereo speakers, Google TV, and dual wireless microphones into a single portable package.
This projector is an upgraded version of the earlier Audiray One, with brighter visuals, true 4K clarity, stronger sound, smarter connectivity, and a redesigned modular experience. The brightness has been increased from 1000 nits to 1200 nits, while it supports native 4K resolution for sharper image quality.
The X5 improves image depth with a 20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio. Its upgraded 1.0:1 Short-Throw Ratio allows you to project between a 40- and 210-inch screen from a projection range of 3.3 to 17.5 feet.
Each unit comes with detachable speakers with 60W stereo sound. You can use them independently when wanting to just play music. Another cool feature is the included dual wireless microphones that allow you to turn any space into an instant karaoke party. The mics include a built-in 1200 mAh battery that can be conveniently charged through a USB Type-C port. They also support reverb and voice effects for a more immersive singing experience.
Setting up the X5 is as easy as most modern smart projectors. It automatically optimizes the image using ToF autofocus, 6D auto keystone correction, and intelligent screen alignment. For entertainment, users can instantly stream their favorite content through the built-in Google TV. The projector supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6 for faster and more stable connectivity.
This all-in-one entertainment device features a DC 15V 3A power input, which means you need to connect it to an AC wall outlet using a compatible adapter. It is claimed to deliver up to 50,000 hours of projection life, which is really impressive.

The X5 transforms effortlessly between a projector, stereo speakers, a karaoke machine, a smart TV hub, and an outdoor entertainment station, so you can enjoy different types of things from just a single unit. Measuring 17.13 x 6.38 x 9.53 inches and weighing 10.36 lbs, it is a great choice for people who host parties, birthdays, or casual gatherings.
If you are interested in buying, you can pre-order it for $399 from Kickstarter with delivery expected in July 2026. The purchase includes a multi-purpose carrying strap for easy portability.
