New Versawhite Dry-Erase Projection Screen Material Wins in Best Projection Screen Category

Cerritos, California. Nov. 10, 2010-Elite's new Versawhite matte white projection material with dry-erase capabilities has just won the WFX 2010 Award for the Best Projection Screen category. The WFX New Product Award, presented by Church Production Magazine and Worship Facilities Magazine, was created to recognize the newest and most innovative building, management, and technology products marketed to churches within the past year.
The new Versawhite Dry-Erase Projection Material
The 1.1 gain matte white material is ideal for use with standard, interactive, and/or short-throw projectors. It is coated with a highly durable scratch-resistant optical nanotech resin. This allows the Versawhite material to fulfill its dual role as a dry-erase writing surface. Versawhite also performs with clear color reproduction that should be expected from a precision designed projection screen but has never been performed by a regular whiteboard. Insta-DE Screens are available in many sizes in a 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio.
Available Models with Versawhite
Versawhite material is available as either a hard-framed whiteboard (WhiteBoardScreen Universal), or as a pliable adhesive projection screen (Insta-DE ) or magnetic (Insta-DEM) screen.

WhiteBoardScreen Universal (click to view)
The WhiteBoardScreen Universal takes the traditional whiteboard design and fuses it with a professionally crafted projection surface. The Versawhite material used will not hotspot or create an unsightly color shift which is common when projecting on a regular whiteboard.
Key features of the WhiteBoardScreen Universal:
Versatile hard-backed whiteboard/projection screen combination product
"Glare-free" Projection surface is coated with a non-glossy scratch-resistant optical nanotech resin

Insta-DE (click to view)
The Insta-DE screen is ideal for converting any office wall space into an instructional whiteboard-projection screen. Its magnetically-backed variant, the Insta-DEM is for converting ferromagnetic surfaces.
Key features of the Insta-DE & DEM screens:
Instant whiteboard/projection screen converts empty wall space in minutes
Contour padded backing has choice of adhesive (DE)or magnetic (DEM) attachment
"Glare-free" Projection surface is coated with a non-glossy scratch-resistant optical nanotech resin

JL AUDIO Introduces New JX Amplifiers

Dallas, TX—November 5, 2010—JL Audio has unveiled a new series of mobile audio amplifiers, dubbed “JX”, aimed at entry-level customers seeking high quality audio. JL Audio will begin shipping to authorized dealers in November, 2010.
JL Audio VP-Electronics Jeff Scoon said: “The circuit design of the JX amplifiers is based on tried-and-true designs that have been carefully refined and made ultra-reliable by specifying beefier parts where it counts. Items like power supply toroidal transformers and transistors, in particular, have been upgraded significantly relative to what is common at these price points.”

Two full-range models (JX360/2 and JX360/4) offer well-proven Class A/B designs with rugged unregulated MOSFET power supplies and high-mass heat sinks to effectively dissipate heat. On-board active filters can be used in high-pass or low-pass mode and pass-through pre-amp outputs provide additional system wiring flexibility. High-level wired and low-level RCA-type inputs are provided for easy connection to a wide range of source units and systems.

Two monoblock models (JX250/1 and JX500/1) feature linear amplifier designs, while the 1000/1D monoblock offers an ultra-efficient Class D circuit to reduce physical size and current draw. All three monoblocks feature variable low-pass filters, pass-through preamp outputs, variable Bass EQ boost and remote level control via an optional wired controller. As with the full-range models, high-level wired and low-level RCA-type inputs are provided for easy connection to a wide range of source units and systems.
The industrial design was done in-house and led by company CEO and Chief Engineer Lucio Proni, who set out to create a clean, uncluttered high-end look without extraneous ornamentation. The sleek extrusion is simply adorned by a gloss black ID panel with the model number and the JL Audio brand logo.

JL Audio President Andy Oxenhorn said: “The JX amplifiers represent a tremendous performance bargain for enthusiasts on a budget. They offer strong, clean power, great looks and smart feature sets that our customers will really appreciate.”

Five models, designed to suit a wide range of system configurations, will be available:

JX360/2: 360 Watt two-channel (US MSRP: $199.95)
JX360/4: 360 Watt four-channel (US MSRP: $299.95)

ZVOX Unveils the Groundbreaking Z-Base 550 all-in-one Home Theater

Ultra-slender complete home theater system creates room-filling surround sound while virtually disappearing from sight as a base platform for flat-panel TV’s

Swampscott, MA. November, 2010— ZVOX is pleased to announce that the Z-Base 550, a complete home theater system built conveniently into a base platform for stand-mounted flat-panel TV sets, is on sale for the 2010 holiday season. Reduced from $499 to $349, the Z-Base 550 represents a tremendous value as well as the most décor-friendly solution to improving the sound of your flat panel TV. Image attached, more images available upon request.

Based on several design innovations from ZVOX, the Z-Base 550 sounds absolutely terrific–reproducing music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy. But the entire system–speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer–fits into a super-slim cabinet engineered to accommodate the heft of virtually any flat-panel TV. “As the prices of flat-panel TV’s have come down, more and more people are buying them, however fewer and fewer mount them on walls,” explained ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher. “The Z-Base 550 has been designed specifically to address this trend in the marketplace—our extensive research indicates that the Z-Base 550 will accommodate almost all of the top-selling flat-panel TV’s between 32" and 47" in diagonal measurement,” Hannaher stated.

A large number of flat-panel TV models available today incorporate some high-gloss black finish in their designs. The Z-Base 550 seeks to complement that look, utilizing beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss black end panels. The top of the Z-Base 550 is finished in rugged, scratch-resistant black vinyl that is less likely to be marred by objects such as the TV placed on its surface.
Set-up of the Z-Base 550 requires very few steps: Simply place the unit on a table, shelf or cabinet. Place your stand-mounted flat-panel TV on top of it. Plug in AC power, one connecting cord to the TV and you’re done! Sit back and enjoy big, realistic sound including thunderous bass from the built-in powered subwoofer. The Z-Base 550 uses the ZVOX PhaseCue™ virtual surround system to create wide, three-dimensional sound, as if you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other, with movie sound effects that literally surround you. You get a room full of sound without a roomful of speakers and wires! The ZVOX Z-Base 550 has an MSRP of $499.99 and will be shipping Nov. 1st, 2008.
Energy Star qualified power supply
