Let’s face it…

The audio system that usually comes with your vehicle tends to lack a certain, well…I suppose you can fill in the blank with what comes to mind!
Today’s factory car audio systems are improved, incorporating multi-media radios, multi-channel amplifiers and even powered subwoofers. Despite all these available upgrades, most factory systems still lack the fidelity and definition that most of us are used to from our home audio counterparts. The weakest link in just about every factory system tends to be what should be the MOST IMPORTANT, the speakers!

You’ve just picked up that new album, loaded it into your CD player and hit the on-ramp to enjoy some killer tunes. As you roll the volume up to- oh about 20 or so, you notice that this great CD seems to be a bit light so you then proceed to turn the bass level up to plus 5- hoping that your ears will get what you paid for.

You’ve got yourself a nice ride and have put it through the paces on the highway, yet something’s missing after you become used to the drone of the exhaust…. Chuck

After spending a good bit of the past week trying out your favorite CD’s, you’ve realized that your awesome ride has a less-than- adequate sound system, and you begin the daunting task of researching ways to improve it.

“B&W have surpassed themselves yet again. Immediately on hearing the new N800D’s we decided to equip all of Abbey Road’s control rooms that have surround monitoring. They are all biamplified by the excellent Classe CA – M400′s and used in combination with the mighty new ASW855 sub.

The power developed by the panels would more than offset the usage of the theater. We chose to use four Sharp 175 watts panels.

“Congratulations Michael Candea” for recieving the Solar Energy Certification on behalf of Ask The Advisors from The Home Theater Specialists of America (HTSA) and Sharp.

I choose to believe that the trust that a client purchases when they hire a CEDIA member company is well placed. One of the primary reasons that CEDIA was formed was to establish custom electronics design and installation as a valid profession, a profession on par with, say, architects. We wanted to dispel the image of trunk slamming electronic cowboys with no business planning beyond raising this weekend’s beer budget. We have worked very hard to create enough value to charge for our design, engineering and project management just like …

B&W debuts first in-wall subwoofer

“Need big sound, slamming bass and audiophile bass extension, but don’t want to see where it comes from? Then the ISW-4 in-wall subwoofer is for you. Two long-throw 200 mm (8 in) drivers allow it to move the large volumes of air needed for high-quality low-frequency output. The ISW-4 is housed
