We got involved in a technology update of a job originally done by my previous company and my old partner. It was beautiful then and even more so now. Behind these gorgeous cabinet doors hides a complete home theater and the horsepower for the distributed audio in the rest of the home.
This East Bay family room adjoins the kitchen and so the plasma not only hides away but pulls far enough out to turn and face the kitchen area while the home owners cook and enjoy meals. This is done with the assistance very well made Chief Swing Out Arm Plasma bracket.
We updated the Surround Sound receiver to the new Marantz SR-8002 to power the existing B&W 600 Series speakers and sub. We also added a Marantz BD-5004 Blu Ray DVD player. Updating the receiver to a model that would switch HDMI gave us the chance to upgrade the cabling on the video end to HDMI. In doing so we greatly improved the picture. We added a Furman AC Conditioner and re-wired the entire system for improved neatness and performance.
Then we did what the customers wanted the most. We gave them ONE BUTTON OPERATION! We installed and programmed one of the NEW Crestron Prodigy PMC-2 Media Controllers. What a dream it is.
With well thought out programming we were able to allow the everyone EASY, ONE BUTTON operation.
One of the great features of this system; the location of the stored program…..It’s not stored in or outputted from the hand held remote control. Instead it’s stored in the small base unit which is hidden near the components. What does this mean? Simply stated, it means no more waiting for the long, long, long string of IR or RF commands to come out of the remote. No more standing still, pointing the remote and hoping for a successful string of commands to connect and turn everything on. One short burst of RF info from the hand held to the base and it brings up that long string of commands and feeds them from the base unit without fail to the components. So simple, yet so smart. This small features improves the performance of the remote system by a landslide.
This great family and lovely home now has a Surround Sound Theater to match! One everyone can use and enjoy!

Rotel showed some new product this week at CEDIA Expo.

Two audio components that network with home PCs and stream Internet radio. Both also control media on a connected iPod or other USB device.

The RDG-1520 digital Internet tuner, features FM tuner, streaming of 15,000 Internet radio stations without a networked PC, and streaming of music stored on a networked PC equipped with UPnP and Windows Media Player 11. This product is slated to sell for $999.00

The digital Internet tuner, includes a USB input for direct digital connection of an iPod ,  bypassing the iPod’s analog-output stage to shift digital-to-analog conversion over to the tuner’s high-end Wolfson DAC and analog stage.

Secondly, a streaming product, called the RCX-1500. It is a streaming media/CD/FM stereo receiver, In addition to being a fine stereo receiver with built-in CD player,  it features the  ability to stream Internet radio and music stored on a networked PC. It’s due in November at a suggested retail of $1,500.

The device’s CD section uses 24 bit/192kHz DACs, and a very capable 2×100-watt amp section ready for the demands of a 4 ohm load.

Both products’ supported RealAudio, WMA, MP3, unprotected AAC & AAC+, AU, WAV and AIFF.

In other introductions, the company showed its 12×100-watt (into 8 ohms) Class D multi-room-audio amplifier, the $2,799-suggested retail.  This amp should be a great addition to the line and further enhance the sound quality of many a multi-room system.

This is exciting! Crestron, the name most associated with versatile and reliable home automation and control products has introduced a NEW line of automation products. Control audio, video, lighting, heat/AC and much more.

Designed to offer the extraordinary reliability we have come to count on from Crestron,  Prodigy offers affordable, simplified control of your home and entertainment from any room in your house or any place on the planet.

For all of you out there with Krell FPB X series power amps and have struggled with the old Klink as a remote off/on device, the struggle may be OVER!

We are upgrading a pair of mono blocks in the next week or so to use the improved Krell Trigger.  This is the NEW remote turn on device from Krell.

The upgrade requires some internal circuit board work.  I will post our out come along with the basic costs of the job once done.
