Amber international
Following a successful launch into the CI
market at ISE 2012, EMEA Master Distributor, Amber International is returning
to the show this year with an exciting range of products from URC, TruAudio,
Kinetik Labs and Terra Speakers.
“We are looking forward to exhibiting at
ISE again”, says Stuart Tickle, Managing Director of Amber International. “We
received a great response from visitors when we launched the company in 2012,
and are now returning with some exciting developments, including new brand
signups and an array of great products. We have created two demos for the show
which will provide visitors with a full understanding of the benefits and
features of our product ranges”.
The
CI market at ISE 2012
One of the major highlights from Amber
International will undoubtedly be URC’s Total Control range. Visitors to booth
1P35 will have the chance to experience an interactive demo which focuses on
the system’s multi-room audio and control capabilities and will allow
installers to get hands-on with the technology. Elsewhere on the booth will be
the DMS-AV amplifier which delivers crystal clear audio and video to any home
theatre or entertainment room. In stock and now shipping through Amber’s
territorial distributors, the system is designed to perfectly integrate with a
URC Total Control system. A new addition to the line-up and also on display is
the THZ-100, an easy to integrate digital thermostat which allows homeowners
and commercial property owners to manage their energy consumption.
The latest products from TruAudio will be
available for visitors to view on the adjacent booth – 1P22. TruAudio’s THIN-CEILING
speakers are currently the thinnest in-ceiling speakers available in the CI
industry. Encompassing the latest sleek, attractive design, these affordable
speakers deliver top quality sound and blend seamlessly into any room
environment thanks to TruAudio’s ground-breaking Ghost grill design. The new
compact, yet powerful SAT3 two way satellite speaker series will also be one
show. Offering omni-directional sound positioning via a unique magnetic
mounting system, the speaker angle can be adjusted with ease and mounted to
walls, ceilings, in shelves or within a single gang box.
Amber International revealed in November
that Terra Speakers has joined its portfolio. Already generating a lot of
interest for its ‘All Climate’ range of speakers, Amber will be proving that
there is no issue for a Terra Speaker to be in water for these days. Visit the
stand to see this remarkable demonstration. Kinetik Labs will also have a
presence on the booth, showcasing the latest developments in its range of
speakers, cables and IR Kits.

Fazon Mikro
2013’s ISE Show also sees the pre-launch of
the smallest speaker in the Dali range, the Dali Fazon Mikro. Using the DNA of
the Dali Fazon range, the Mikro features a die cast aluminum cabinet and
superior audio performance. As the name indicates, it’s smart, compact and the
most diminutive loudspeaker in the Fazon series. However, despite the size of
the Fazon Mikro, you will be surprised by the sound it produces – it really
does pack quite a punch!

Pro
audio R2020
Leading UK professional audio and AV
suppliers and 19-inch racking specialists Pro Audio Stash (PAS) launches a new
slim-line skeleton rack – the R2020. The innovative R2020 has a 500mm width
which enables installation into the very tightest and most
challenging-to-access spaces, and is ideal for all types of installations and
19-inch racking set-ups where space is at an absolute premium. The only product
of its class available in the UK, the 500mm wide by 500mm deep footprint
provides the ultimate flexible solution for multiple applications, including
professional audio and AV, data and computer systems as well as residential
installations where purpose-built areas for AV equipment may not be readily
available.
Another enormous bonus is the R2020’s easy
assembly. It has only six components: a top and a base plate plus four
rack-rails which are also used as the integral support bars. A single Allen key
is the only tool needed to assemble a compete rack – plus a 10 mm ratchet if it
is being fitted with castors. The job can completed in 15 minutes!
This streamlined design also means it can be
flat-packed and transported very easily. Together with the straightforward
assembly, this saves both time and space.
Ruggedly constructed from 1.5mm steel, and
quality engineered as will all RAS racking products, despite only have six
integral elements. The skeletal design and open frame r2020 is extremely strong
and becomes even more robust with equipment mounted in it.
The R2020 is available for immediate
dispatch from stock from PAS, currently in size ranging from 12U to 28U, the
R2020 product will be available to view on the Pro Audio stand.

HDanywhere modular
HD
Connectivity has announced a highly versatile HDMI HDBaseT matrix switcher
based around a system of patented field-changeable modules.
HD Connectivity Ltd will be at the show
this year to unveil its biggest product launch to date: HDanywhere Modular –
the first HDBaseT Matrix to be designed and built in Great Britain. HDanywhere
Modular offers a customizable HDMI matrix system that enables integrators to
bespoke build the perfect AV distribution system, matched perfectly to the
individual nature of every project.
Thanks to flexible input/output (I/O)
module options, the HDanywhere Modular Matrix system allows integrators to
specify which signal transmission technology is used by each output. Modules at
launch include HDMI, HDBaseT and HDBaseT-Lite, all of which can be mixed and
matched in a single system, thus eliminating expensive unused capacity and
unnecessary functionality. Two chassis models will be available at launch: 4 in
/ 4 outs (MOD44) and 8 in / 8 outs (MOD88).
HDanywhere Modular’s ability to mix and
match HD distribution technologies means that installers are given complete
control when specifying systems. For example, one TV location might require a
full HDBaseT signal for HDMI, IR control, plus a LAN connection for smart TV
services. A second TV might simply require HDMI and IR control, making the
HDBaseT-Lite module a perfect fit. As well as flexibility, it also represents
better value as installers use only the modules they need for a specific zone.
In addition, should a project outgrow the existing system, all the modules can
be simply ported across to a bigger chasis.
TV Location Receiver module options include
the standard TV-mountable ‘hockey puck’ style and an ‘in-wall’ UK wall plate
back box design, all featuring PoE meaning that a separate power supply is not
required. All components of the system are sold separately; chassis, input
modules, output modules and receiver options.
HDanywhere’s on-board system management
software sets it apart from other professional HDMI switchers. Providing a
greatly improved integration, setup and monitoring experience befitting of a
mission-critical element of every smart home installation.
Other systems integration friendly features
include instant port switching (IPS) and full IP control for 3rd party
controllers. IP-drivers are bundled free for all major control systems,
including Control4, AMX, RTI, Crestron and URC.
