The EP8 - three projector mounts in one - a short throw wall mount, a 680mm telescopic ceiling mount and a close to ceiling mount. A low cost versatile mount that not only saves money, reduces stocking levels but makes it easy for the busy installer to use and carry.
While setting up a multiple speaker test on the EA35 in-wall amplifier we unwittingly used a faulty mini jack lead which was open circuit (on all wires !!) the mains hum level that resulted when we turned the amplifier on was very loud (>110 dB) and louder than the test tone (the test area had lots of dangling mains cables for the test equipment and power supplies etc not unlike the mess found in some false ceilings that I've seen)
The hum was just from the pick-up of mains interference with no direct connection.
There was no detectable hum at all from the amplifier without a cable connected to the input nor with the correct cable connected whether or not it was plugged into the tone source
It just reminded of some of the "faulty amplifier" reports that we receive
So the message is always check the cables first ..... the cables are much more likely to be damaged when snagged during installation than the amplifiers.
Incidentally the tests proved that 2x 8 ohm or 4x 8 ohm speakers work really fine on this neat Class D digital amplifier with twice the "loudness" on the 4x 8 ohm (>3 dB)
We are very pleased to announce our new range of Interactive Whiteboards for finger or pen use on hard, high gain, high contrast, anti-glisten smooth surface board. Complete with software and available with wall mount, stand or motorised lift. See more details of the board and accessories here ..
We've added a 4x 150 Watt digital amplifier for those that don't need the 2,000 Watt per channel of the EA1161 and EA1162 amplifiers. The looks are the same, the size too (1U rack mount). Pro-audio for halls, pubs, bigger meeting rooms etc.
I've just updated the list of exhibitions on our Wiki events page that we plan to attend in 2011 .... hope to see you at one at least.
You may already have a well developed website, maybe a blog too, a support Wiki adds to customer experience and RSS feed keep people informed you may also be well aware that the social media sites like Twitter and LinkedIn, for professional users and marketeers, are growing very fast.
There are some big names from the Audio Visual market already using Twitter - some are very prominent like Creston, Extron and Christie, there are also many Editors of AV and related press, magazines and journals on Twitter who belong to lists of AV "Tweeters". And there is also the opportunity to just see what others are doing as it happens.
If you would like to find out more yourself and would like to use Twitter please feel free to download this article that I plagiarised from books and various websites "How to Use Twitter for Business"
BETT is reported to be the largest education technology exhibition in the world and offers "the opportunity to view, touch and test all that is new in the industry". We shall be there, Tony Mercer is attending and look forward to meeting old and new friends
