  • Loudspeaker with SpeakerLink
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • The DSP7200 DSP loudspeaker is the first in the company's line to include SpeakerLink input-board architecture, which employs standard Ethernet ports for interconnection, allowing it to be simply installed with inexpensive CAT5 cabling. Like all of the manufacturer's DSP loudspeakers, it provides the dynamics and freedom from distortion that only active-speaker design can deliver, the maker says. 404-344-7111.
  • SharpVision Front Projector
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • The SharpVision XV-Z20000 1080p DLP home theater front projector features a sleek, high-gloss black design and utilizes a single 1080p DMD chip from Texas Instruments. The 16:9 aspect ratio projector re-creates a true cinematic experience, according to the maker, allowing users to watch movies in their original widescreen format in high-definition clarity. 877-388-7427.
  • Architectural Series Speakers
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • Architectural series speakers eliminate the wide trim surrounding the speaker grille and are mounted perfectly flush with the wall surface, according to the maker. Because they are available in a range of sizes, shapes, and grille finishes, they also complement high-end, flush-mount lighting fixtures. Finish options include completely trimless, micro trim, or an iconic pure white trimless and grille-less fascia finish. 800-582-7777.
  • Disappearing In-Wall Loudspeakers
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • The Disappearing In-Wall series of in-ceiling and in-wall flush-mount loudspeakers consists of six round and two square models along with one rectangular, bi-polar dedicated surround model. All feature near invisibility, says the firm, due to their small diameters, hidden flange design, and low-profile micro-perforated grilles. The models are as easy to install as traditional flanged flush-mount speakers. 800-228-7148.
  • HD-Audio/Video-Ready Receiver
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)

The new model adds two additional HDMI inputs for a total of four, 1080i upscaling of standard definition sources over HDMI, and Audyssey's new Dynamic EQ loudness compensation technology. It is designed specifically for custom installation, making it easier for installers to cut job time, the maker says. 800-225-1946.

A feature pack upgrade includes Audyssey Dynamic Volume and Audyssey Dynamic EQ, HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) One Touch Play, Sirius radio ready capability, and Rhapsody streaming capability. 201-762-6500.
  • Small Home Theater Packages
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • Movie 80 CX and Movie 120 MX small home theater packages add new high-gloss black or silver finishes to the Movie family. Each of the systems combines four small satellite speakers with a matching horizontal center-channel speaker and powerful active subwoofer for full 5.1-channel surround sound reproduction. Movie 120 MX satellite speakers come in a more conventional vertical arrangement rather than a coaxial one. 612-706-9250.
  • The Kaleidescape System
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (11/14/2008)
  • The Kaleidescape system simplifies the way users collect, manage, and enjoy movies and music, the manufacturer says. Once the user's personal entertainment collection is stored on the system's servers, no DVDs or CDs are needed. The system uses high-speed networking to deliver movies and music throughout a home. The 1080p player and mini player (in a more compact package) deliver high-definition video. 650-625-6100.
