A short video showing how easy it is to use the Nuvo Grand Concerto.
Crestron announced yesterday that its new line of ENERGY STAR® qualified high-output commercial amplifiers are now available. The exclusive AMP Series amplifiers help meet energy savings objectives and green initiatives without sacrificing audio performance. Designed for high-end audio performance, energy efficiency, and versatility in a wide variety of settings, Crestron AMP Series amplifiers offer more than twice the power of other amps in its class and are ideal for commercial environments where many speakers need to be run from one amplifier.
SpeakerCraft’s new Profile Series speaker is now shipping.
SpeakerCraft’s description of the product:
“Through precise engineering and with the use of Neodymium magnets, the Profile series is little more than a shadow on the wall or ceiling. Although there is still a flange to cover the rough edge of the drywall after the hole has been cut, the final appearance is all grille with only the slightest edge to create a smooth, finished result.”
At this year’s CEDIA Expo, SpeakerCraft announced three new speaker lines — the retro Roots line, the “invisible” Seamless line that installs behind drywall, and a line of flangeless in-ceiling/in-wall speakers called Profile.
Nirv, SpeakerCraft’s whole-house A/V system, also made an appearance.
Nuvo’s Grand Concerto multi-room audio system will allow you to have up to 16 zones of audio that are fully controllable. The sleek audio keypads allow you to search through your audio sources and set the volume in every zone. The kids can listen to their iPod through the Nuvo Wired iPod Dock in the rec room while you listen to Sirius radio through your Dual AM/FM Sirius Ready Tuner in the kitchen. If you’re throwing a party, simply set your multi-room audio system to “Party Mode” and enjoy music throughout the entire house. Even outside, the SpeakerCraft OE5 One speakers are weather resistant and complement any patio décor. Get the entertainment without the hassle!
