The SC-600 IW (In-Wall) subwoofer fits flush in a standard 2×4 studded wall and incorporates a sealed cabinet (no need for a separate back-box), for easy retrofit or new construction installation. It delivers tight, dynamic bass for music and home theater. A unique triple vector design, with twin active 6.5″ long-throw drivers and twin custom passive radiators firing at 45 degree angles to the drivers, maximizes excursion within the wall cavity, reducing wall vibration by 50% vs. other in-wall subs.
The Companion SC-600 amplifier is a 400-watt dynamic, 200-watt RMS, rack-mountable amplifier. This proven, reliable A/B design is very musical sounding, with superior headroom for clean, powerful bass. It includes a remote control with four bass presets to customize your movie or music listening. These can be programmed in your remote Macro to correspond to Audio or Video sources. Using the remote control’s “EQ” button, the internal signal generator’s tones are digitally analyzed by DSP, and the 5-band equalizer is automatically adjusted for the best bass performance, regardless of subwoofer placement. Multiple woofers can be driven by a single amplifier.

Lighting Control Systems: Convenience and Saving Money

lakeshorebranding — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:56:10 +0000

One of the most important parts of a home automation system or good theater room is the lighting control. Not only are you able to set up scenes to activate with a remote, but you can also use this system to turn off all the lights in your home before bed. Not only does a lighting control system add convenience, but it also is Green. You can custom program lights to turn off automatically or even only turn the lights to 90% of full capacity. The human eye cannot detect that the lights are only at 90%, but you will see a significant drop in energy consumption and lower energy costs. Plus, dimming a light bulb 10% will DOUBLE the life of the bulb.

With a lighting control system, you can create global scenes which will set the lights in your whole home to a present level or if you will be going on vacation. In addition, you can have local scene control for individual rooms and areas including your theater room. Most of the lighting control systems can be retro-fitted into existing homes without any type of drywall patching or cutting. Lighting control is an easy way to increase convenience and move toward a green America.
