AtlasIED, a recognized leader in the commercial audio industry, is introducing a new range from the Atlas+Fyne premium brand, the IsoFlare™ FS Range of surface-mount loudspeakers. The FS represents a new benchmark in point source technology, and like all the Atlas+Fyne products, combines decades of expertise from acoustic and mechanical engineers with cutting-edge design and engineering techniques.

The FS’s exceptional harmonic alignment between high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) sources sets it apart from standard discrete and coaxial offerings. The IsoFlare™ driver exhibits excellent harmonic alignment between HF and LF sources, the effect of which is to deliver accurate and natural reproduction with superb tonal balance, ensuring seamless integration in any environment with any combination of IsoFlare™ surface-mount or in-ceiling loudspeakers.

The IsoFlare driver propagates a spherical wavefront that is homogeneously aligned across all axes. This feature guarantees an even sound response throughout the listening area, offering a constant time delay across the entire frequency spectrum and exceptional off-axis performance. The FS features a low insertion loss 60W transformer, ideal for 70V or 100V distributed applications. The wattage tap selection and low impedance bypass can be easily adjusted via a rear-mounted slide selector switch, which includes a security cover for added safety. 

The FS also features a minimalistic design that adheres to strict architectural constraints and is crafted from high-impact ABS with a UV inhibitor for long-lasting durability. Its corrosion-resistant aluminum grille ensures resilience, while the IP56 rating guarantees suitability for various environments. Equipped with advanced components such as ferrofluid-cooled titanium HF drivers, weather-treated multi-fiber cones, and high-current premium crossover components, the FS delivers an unmatched audio experience. The loudspeakers are available in 4, 6, and 8-inch versions, with both black and white finishes to adhere to any installation specifications.

“The Atlas+Fyne brand represents the best in the market, delivering unparalleled flexibility, power, and performance to our customers,” said Matt Czyzewski, Executive Vice President of AtlasIED. “The launch of the FS is a clear delivery on our promise to continue building upon the brand's established legacy and reputation, and ISE is the perfect place to debut it."

Cleerline Serial-to-Fiber Converter for Extreme Environment Applications

Objective: Integrators must be able to install electronics in extreme environments that provide interface, control, and feedback of connected systems reliably. The durability and performance of a Cleerline fiber infrastructure represents a significant advantage over legacy copper conductors.

Solution: Cleerline has introduced the SSF-SERIAL-RUGGED, a 2-piece IP40 industrial-rated converter that delivers critical serial-to-fiber and back conversion for extreme environments such as weather boxes, outdoor lockers, and other harsh locations. This new converter enables integrators to provide the performance and durability of a fiber infrastructure while effortlessly connecting to an array of devices for applications such as:

· Lighting

· Access control

· Automated pool covers

· HVAC systems

· So much more

The new Cleerline IP40-rated converter easily facilitates connectivity between fiber and RS-232 or RS-485 devices within our fiber infrastructure, creating an industrial-grade connectivity solution with unprecedented reliability.

Integrator Testimonial

“The Cleerline IP-40 rated Serial-to-Fiber converter is a go-to solution for us here at ResCom Electric and Integration because it’s durable, non-conductive, and allows us to install fiber that delivers massive bandwidth for the gates and remote lighting projects we design and install for our clients,” explained Rich Conklin, Principal Engineer at Michigan based ResCom Electric. “We do commercial projects with numerous remote buildings as well as residential developments and luxury homes where communication to the gate could be a mile away—and Cleerline’s Serial-to-Fiber converter frees us from having to deploy costly additional processors—their fiber infrastructure and rugged IP-rated devices are an effective and reliable solution for us.”

Technically Speaking

The Cleerline industrial rated IP40 SSF-SERIAL-RUGGED converter operates in extreme environments (-40°C to 75°C /-40°F to 167°F), transmitting over a single fiber, either single-mode or multimode. This converter ships as a matched set and easily installs to allow reliable, extended serial connections.

Superior performance, simplified setup, and breathtaking visuals that redefine what’s possible in projection technology.

Elevate monitors with a customizable slat wall system

The Eaton Tripp Lite series slat wall system is an easy-to-customize solution for elevating monitors in homes, offices, schools, workshops, studios, training facilities and anywhere else video is used. This durable system has five components that are sold separately: slat rail with desk-clamp posts, three different VESA-compliant monitor mounts and additional slat rail for greater capacity.

Save desk space with an easy-to-install solution

Elevating monitors frees up desk space. To get started, clamp the slat rail posts to the edge of a desk or table. Add monitor mounts to complete the system. To support more mounts, add a second slat rail. Grooves on both sides of the slat rail enable use for back-to-back workstations, saving the expense of multiple solutions.

Optimize viewing angles

The monitor mounts tilt, swivel and rotate to optimize viewing angles and improve ergonomics. Slide the mounts anywhere along the slat rail to find the perfect viewing position or push monitors out of the way when not in use.

Comply with government contracts

The slat wall system complies with the federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA), making it eligible for General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule contracts and other government or military contracts.

• Customizable system for elevating monitors
  
  
• Universal installation on the edge of a desk or table

Tri-Guard products provide guardian at night, integrating ColorHunter, Active Deterrence and Smart Intrusion Prevention into one camera.
